    What amenities does the cottage include?
    4 bedrooms designed to sleep 10 comfortably (with eight bunk beds so you could squeeze in a couple more if everyone is happy to share the facilities), 2 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen with all the cooking pots, pans, utensils and facilities you need to prepare a great dinner party — plus dinnerware and settings, oven, microwave, dishwasher, air conditioning, washing machine and dryer, free high-speed Wi-Fi, front courtyard, side and back decks with BBQ, outdoor shower, free parking for 2+ vehicles, all linen and towels provided.

Fully equipped kitchen, spacious indoor/outdoor living, and family-friendly attractions like national park bush walks and pelican feeding at The Entrance. Read our reviews to hear how families love the cottage.
    When is the best time to book for school holidays?
    The Central Coast is in peak demand over summer — the December school holidays, Christmas/New Year and all of January book out first, followed by Easter and long weekends. We recommend enquiring 3–6 months ahead for Christmas/New Year stays and 2–3 months ahead for January and Easter. Outside the summer school holidays the Coast is quieter and often offers better availability and value.
