About Pearl Beach -

Pearl Beach is a tiny National Trust village where life with all its charm and friendliness has been preserved. Surrounded by Brisbane Water National Park, the lush green canopy sweeps down to the ocean and the golden curve of one of New South Wales' prettiest beaches. Less than 300 homes and development restrictions that prevent apartments and further commercial development, Pearl Beach has remained and will remain slow paced and uniquely relaxed. From the moment you start your decent down the windy road into Pearl Beach you will feel your stress levels drop. The exceptional combination of beach and nature is unique, particularly so close to Sydney.

For the energetic a walk up to the waterfall or through the National Park to Patonga is both beautiful and great exercise. There are also a large number of other walks in the Brisbane Waters National Park and the Bouddi National Park within 15 minutes by car. For those who want a more relaxed holiday, a stroll through the Arboretum, along the beach or past the rock-pool and around the headland for views over to Palm Beach might be more attractive. There is also a salt water pool, a bowling green and public tennis courts. The beach caters for those that want flat water or waves.

Just because you are out of Sydney doesn't mean you will need to sacrifice any of your creature comforts. There is a well stocked shop, a gourmet cafe (with WiFi) that does excellent coffee and eat-in or take away food.

There is even the famous Pearls on The Beach which a fully licensed restaurant that sits on the edge of the sand with amazing views.

GETTING HERE:

By Car -

Take the F3 FREEWAY from Wahroonga (Cnr Pacific Highway and Pennant Hill Road) heading north to Newcastle - for a distance of 45 kms. Then take the Gosford, Woy Woy Terrigal exit (just after the Mooney Mooney Bridge where the yellow dinosaur is on the hill on your left). Follow for 2 kms to Kariong - then:

3 SHELL SERVICE STATIONS...3 right hand turns!

1st Shell
Turn right at Woy Woy Rd, just past the Shell, 3rd set of lights.

2nd Shell
At the Woy Woy roundabout, turn right onto Ocean Beach Rd.

3rd Shell
At the Umina roundabout, turn right onto Mt Ettalong Road.

Continue along Mt Ettalong Road which winds round and up the mountains past the water tower. At the top of the mountain you will come to a fork in the road. Keep left and follow the road down into Pearl Beach.

Turn right at the bottom of the hill on Diamond Rd and the house is the second house on the right with the lime green door - 40 Diamond Road

By Train -

Get the train to Woy Woy from Central Station. This is the same train that heads to Gosford and Newcastle and leaves very frequently during the week. It is a beautiful train trip and takes about 75 minutes. Get picked up at Woy Woy or take a 10 minute taxi ride to Pearl Beach.

Excellent family getaway
We loved having a space where the kids could just play and entertain themselves. The accommodation had everything we needed including an extensive playroom, trampoline and cubby. We also loved the pool and fast walk to the beach. Plenty of room for 4 kids (ages 3-6), and 6 adults. Such a relaxing weekend retreat!

Family Get-together
This property is perfect for a family get-together where there are young children. We had 3 children ranging 5-9 and they were so entertained by the options available. While they spent much of their time in the pool, they also entertained themselves on the trampoline and in the cubby house (my favourite). Also as there was plenty of outside adult space, supervision was a breeze. The house is so well resourced, especially the kitchen! Pearl Beach is a stunning little village and we were lucky enough to be there when the local markets were on in the community hall. The kids loved the bush walk at the northern end of the beach and the rock pool at the south. The family vote was to return, not only to Pearl Beach, but to this home in the future.

Amazing for a family holiday
We were having a family long weekend with our sister visiting from the UK. Catherine was so easy to speak with in the lead up to the trip and made check in and organising as easy as possible. The house was perfect for multiple generations, and the kids in particular had a blast with endless toys, books and the trampoline and cubby house. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked and rooms comfortable. The local area is lovely for walks and easy access to Pearl Beach itself. I highly recommend!

Love love love this place
I stayed here with my family plus extended family - 5 adults and 5 kids. The photos didn’t quite show how big the backyard was and the pool and cubby house was amazing! The owner had clearly thought about everything that you might need - the kitchen had everything and the play room had a great range of toys to keep all ages busy. A very short walk to the beach. Highly recommend this house.

An idyllic stay in on the Central Coast.
This property is ideal for a family holiday, for those wanting a break from the business of their lives and where they live. This home is ideal for families with young children. It is safe, with excellent provisions for the young child, including a playroom, pool and excellent enclosed back garden. The beach and bush are only minutes away. If you’ve forgotten anything then Umina is only a short drive away. Catherine is an excellent and supportive host. We highly recommend it.

Fabulous house for family holiday.
This is a great house for a family holiday, especially well set up for young children. Our grandchildren (1, 3 & 5) had a fabulous time in the yard, house and beach. Kitchen is very well equiped, rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. Catherine is a great host, very responsive to comms and very generous with check-in and check-out times, which really added to our experience.

A young family of four on a much needed break from Sydney. Beautiful home that has everything you need. It’s 2 min walk to Pearl’s beach, the pool, lawn, trampoline and cubby house is all our children needed. The house is well stocked, kitchen utensils and appliances and travel cots, kids toys and even a pram! This is our 3rd time visiting and we already can’t wait to come back.
