Araluen House, Werri Beach - Gerringong

Araluen House, Werri Beach - Gerringong - 4pm check out Sundays and Public Holidays, except Summer Season

Araluen House is a luxurious, light-filled beach house only 5 minutes from Gerringong town! Relax with friends and family amidst stunning landscaped gardens and fish ponds, or head 100m down a short cut to the surf and sunshine at Werri Beach.

Strictly no parties at this property – please. You will be evicted if this rule is broken.

Where will I be?

Araluen House is an easy 100m walk to the famous surf spot at Werri Beach and the start of the Gerringong to Kiama Coastal Walk. Close by Araluen is Werri lagoon - a safe swimming area for younger children. A short, 5 minute drive away is Gerringong where you'll find good coffee and a selection of nice restaurants. Minnamurra Falls is also close by - another great family outing!

Why choose Araluen House?

This home truly is a rare find for family and friends- close beach access and a pool right out back! Regardless of your group size Araluen House is the ultimate place to relax, pause and reflect in the tranquil surroundings that give you enough space to either unwind together or enjoy your holiday in peace.

How is the property laid out?

The uniquely different spaces are what makes Araluen House special! There are four large bedrooms in the main house and then a much larger separate and very private space with two bedrooms - the Cottage.

Downstairs in the main house - the master bedroom has a king bed, full length windows overlooking the pool and an ensuite. Bedrooms 2 and 3 have queen beds, and are opposite a large shared bathroom with a shower and bath. Adjacent to these are the laundry and the downstairs lounge with a full home cinema, surround sound and black out blinds!

Upstairs in the main house - bedroom 4 has a double and an ensuite with a shower. The kitchen area proves a fabulous place for everyone to congregate whilst cooking up a storm, and flows through to the indoor and outdoor dining and lounging spaces.

The Cottage, separate from the main house, has 2 bedrooms - one with a king bed and one with a queen bed, a library of books, TV and an ensuite bathroom with large stone bath and wet room shower.

Araluen House is able to accommodate a large family, a couple of smaller families or groups of friends. With plenty of indoor/outdoor areas, there is space for everyone to lounge around separately or together.

Wi-Fi and streaming services - will I have them?

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available and a password will be provided in your pre-arrival email. Please note that neither The Holidays Collection nor the owner can guarantee 100% that Wi-Fi will work, and no compensation will be payable if problematic. If Wi-Fi is important, please therefore always have a backup plan.

This property has several smart TV's. Please bring your own login details for streaming services.

What about outdoors?

Landscaped gardens lead to a spectacular backyard complete with a pool, deck chairs, Weber BBQ and a sitting area for drinks and entertaining. The kitchen/dining area flows through to the upper entertaining deck with both lounging and dining options. The back gate in the garden leads to a short cut - taking you straight to the beach!

Staying warm or keeping cool?

Araluen House is equipped with reverse cycle air conditioning. In the summer months the house can be opened up for a fresh sea breeze.

What about sheets, towels and other supplies?

High quality linen and bath towels are all provided. Please remember to bring your own beach towels.

Parking for cars, boats etc?

Araluen has room for up to 3 cars in the driveway.

Is my dog or cat welcome to stay?

- Please do not allow wet or dirty dogs in or through the house
- Absolutely no dogs on the furniture
- Please bag and dispose of doggy waste appropriately
- Lastly, please consider that not all guests bring dogs on holiday and we want everyone to enjoy a clean and fresh home.
- Please clean up dog hairs or anything else inside the house before your departure - thank you!

Great place to stay. Clean, well appointed, great location and well priced. Only disappointment, the pool was described as heated, but unfortunately wasn’t, which meant minimal use. Otherwise we had a lovely time and the house was otherwise fabulous.

A lovely house filled with glorious art & many beautiful things. The children loved the pool. Everything we needed. If you have a toddler or a crawler you need to be very aware of the beautiful water features.

Beautiful house, great location
This is a beautifully laid out house, with amazing finishes, especially some of the artwork and sculptures (there was even a book about Piet Mondrian!). And just a stone's through from the beach. All told, a great weekend had by all and we'll be back.

Generally, a great property, however, needs maintenance.
Leo Kellehear - 11th December 2021 Great house for our extended family of 9 adults, Plenty of room for everyone even on a rainy day. Kitchen has more than everything you need, Only down side is that the property is need of general maintenance and more information about how things operate is required. We had trouble with the TV, which turned out to be flat batteries in the remote, also the dishwasher would not complete its cycle. Kitchen sink did not hold water as the plug seals had perished, made washing up difficult especially when the dishwasher wasn't working properly. Plenty of cob webs around, and the dead plants on the back deck Some of these item were mentioned by another guest back in March 2021

Excellent lay-out for a family get-a-way. Well appointed kitchen. Everyone had a great time; grandkids lived in the pool and we had a chance to get back together after the lock-down. Nice and handy to the beach.

Great for family getaway!
We enjoyed a fabulous weekend away at Araluan house. Perfect venue for families. The beds and linen were 5 star and must mention the kitchen being well equiped, has matching sets of cutlery, crockery and glassware! We did have an issue with no running hot water on our first night in the self contained bungalow. Our contact for the property arranged a plumber the same day of notification and problem was quickly rectified. If have young children you do need to be mindful of the pond in the backyard and upstairs balcony with daybed, as there is no barrier to the first floor roof. Overall the entire family had a wonderful time, short drive from Sydney and would recommend the property.

Beautiful home away from Home
This property was beautifully designed to make you feel very comfortable and relaxed with their beautiful art and the tranquility of its location. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials. I loved the big dining area so that it fit every person and breakfast lunch and dinner. The pool is well cleaned and so was the entire house. Linen was provided including beach and bath towels which was very nice. The bungalow at the back was amazing and truely felt like I was in Bali and beautiful home away from home experience. Thank you.

Highly recommend this property
Our family stayed at this property for our weekend get together. It is a large house with living areas on two floors so there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The pool was popular with the children while the outdoor areas were used by the grown ups. There is lots of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans etc which is fantastic for a large group. Plenty of dishwashing soaps etc and much appreciated baskets of moisturiser, sunscreen, soap etc in the bathrooms. Beds were very comfy and the bath towels large and thick. Kitchen has an Nespresso machine, a large juicer, large toaster etc. The separate Balinese-type room and bathroom was enjoyed by one of our family groups. Overall our family rated this property 5stars. The TV is the biggest one any of us have ever seen!
