Conveniently located within easy walking distance from Coledale Train Station and bus stops are also nearby.
There is a graveled level area just beyond the lawn and in front of the view – this is a Petanque Piste for a game like boules played mainly in Provence. There is a set of boules (together with the rules) provided. The bottle of complementay Prosecco in the fridge - might aid the aim!!!!
If guests are self-catering they are welcome to help themselves to the herbs in the garden – Basil, Thyme, Parsley, Oregano and French Tarragon. If lucky there may be some tiny forest strawberries ripe. Depending on the season there may be rocket or perpetual spinach.
Beach umbrella, esky, beach towels and beach chairs are provided as well a large umbrella for the terrace.
Neighbouring Thirroul has supermarkets, a fish shop and a couple of green grocers. There is a collection of cook books in the flat to perhaps provide inspiration.
Within walking distance (down the hill) are cafes and the RSL and a bottle shop (a tip – walk up the hill on the other side of the street, it is less steep).

WHY WANGANELLA
There is a porthole from the MS Wanganella in the front door of the house- hence the name for the holiday flat.
The ship was built in Belfast and used as a passenger ship between Australia and New Zealand from 1933. After World War II it was turned into a hospital ship (1941-1946) and brought back Australian POWs from Borneo in September 1945.
One of the POWs wrote of her: “the Wanganella, she rode quietly at anchor unperturbed by wind or tide…..”

Had an excellent stay amazing place. Everything you would need for a great holiday. Beautiful view, garden and host everything you need for memorable beach break. Tracey was fantastic. The Stayz platform was only problem lost all my information had to contact host directly! Apart from that I highly recommend Wanganella -Coledale.

Very quiet and comfortable, with lovely sea views and a quiet village nearby for essentials.Only a stones throw from the train station with lots of options to travel around the area.

Check in was easy. Everything was where it should be. Had to park in street, right outside property under street lamp, no problems. very nice property, eclectic fit out, made our stay interesting. the weather was stormy, but cosy inside looking out at the huge ocean swells that came up and rain storm around us. The hill is quite steep so you need to have good legs or just use your car. Easy access to shops and food in area. Would stay there again :)

Very neat and tidy and with lots of personality! The view from the back is great and it made for a relaxing weekend of wet weather. The location is great, so we could sit under cover looking at the view and sipping a coffee, or we could go out for breakfast or dinner at the nearby cafes or restaurants (highly recommend The Imperial at Clifton)
