Bawley Point relies on tank water. Water levels are checked before your arrival and confirmed to be sufficient for the length of your stay. Please use what you need, but we ask that you remain mindful of unnecessary waste.

The garden hose taps behind the Summer Kitchen are supplied by a separate tank that isn’t connected to the house and has very low turnover. Because the water in that tank doesn’t circulate regularly, it is not suitable for drinking and is intended for outdoor use only. Indoor taps provide clean, regularly‑cycled drinking water.

The area also operates on individual septic systems for each property and operates effectively if only toilet paper is flushed down the loo (so please do not put anything else down there:) Guests are liable tor the cost if an emergency call-out is required due to anything other than toilet paper being flushed down the toilet.

The furniture in Sunnyside has been thoughtfully placed to create a relaxing holiday feel. We ask that you please do not move furniture around inside the house or outside during your stay.

To the north of Bawley Point is Meroo National Park and south is Pretty Beach and Murramarang National Park. Both locations offer some amazing walking tracks.

Murramarang Aboriginal Area Track

This relatively easy track takes you through coastal scrublands, which provides frequent views to the nearby ocean on the east and mountains to the west including the popular Pigeon House Mountain. Expect to see plenty of kangaroos hopping and grazing! Start this 2km walk by parking at Racecourse Beach carpark and head to the right-hand corner along a poorly identified trail down the beach. Turn left before going onto the sand and you will come across trail markers and signage. Don’t forget to pack your swimmers, this track gives you a few opportunities to head down to the beach for a dip!

Murramarang Beach Walk

Enjoy the sand between your toes as you walk along the pristine Murramarang Beach. Cast your eyes to the ocean to look for sea eagles or migrating whales! One of the longest beaches in Bawley, it is perfect for walking or playing beach games. This 2.5km walk starts at Malibu drive with the beach running south and takes roughly 30 minutes to complete. Be sure to take extra care if swimming as the beach is not patrolled.

Pretty Beach and Snapper Point Loop

Enjoy this 3.5km loop trail with stunning coastline views. From the grassy slopes of the Merry Beach, follow the track through forests of she-oaks, where you’ll catch a glimpse of a variety of birds. Birdwatching is spectacular along the coastline. The lookout is a great spot for whale watching. Starting at Merry Beach carpark, this moderately easy hike will take roughly an hour. Make sure to pack a picnic so you can enjoy lunch at Pretty Beach before heading back!

Pigeon House Mountain

Pigeon House Mountain Didthul is a distinctive peak, which was named by Captain Cook due to its shape of a bird house, is one of the most popular walks in the area. An immersive, challenging day walk that takes you into the Budawang Ranges of Morton National Park, enjoy panoramic views of cliffs and gorges within the Budawang wilderness. On a clear day you can see from Jervis Bay to as far as Bermagui. This 5km walk can take about 2 and half hours, longer if you take your time to soak all the natural beauty in. Make sure to take plenty of water and even lunch to enjoy at the top of the summit!

For up-to-date information on local walking tracks and national parks visit nationalpark.nsw.gov.au.

Please remember to take water on your walk, it can be a thirsty task!

Our Bawley beaches are all beautiful and fantastic spots to get out adventuring, whether it be swimming, snorkelling, surfing, fishing or just relaxing and taking a leisurely stroll. Bawley Beach is just out the front of the property. North end of Gannet Beach is a great place to relax, and the south end perfect for families and children to play in the rock pool. To the north are Cormorant, Bawley Point and ‘The Nuggan’ beaches. Be sure to check out Bawley Beach’s popular ‘Gantry’ and keep an eye out for stumpy the tailless stingray! To the south, you will find Murramarang Beach, good for a decent walk or jog. A 2-minute drive south, you will find yourself at Sandmines, a great fishing and surfing beach.

We are in a residential neighbourhood and ask if you could keep noise to a minimum after 10pm to respect the neighbours.

The Bawley Point and Kioloa community microgrid went live in December 2023 to protect residents from frequent blackouts during bushfires and severe storms.

It is the first of it’s kind in NSW.

A central 3-megawatt (3MWh) grid-connected battery stores and supplies heavy power for the local area.

Around 100 local homes feature subsidised rooftop solar and residential batteries that feed clean energy back into the local network.

What you can expect during an outage:

• Brief Flicker: You may notice a tiny flicker or momentary dip in your power supply as the system disconnects from the main grid.

• Automatic Transition: The central 3-megawatt battery immediately kicks in to take over the local network load. You do not need to do anything manually.

Your safety is very important to us to ensure that you have a great time at Sunnyside.

We suggest taking some time to make yourself familiar with your location and the property. Small children should be supervised by an adult at all times outside, particularly outside as the property is not fully fenced.

We have also included some contacts below to assist if there is an emergency.

Beaches

All beaches in Bawley Point are unpatrolled.

Snakes

We are yet to see a snake on the property. Last year we installed 8 electronic snake repellent stakes in the garden (that’s the faint eeek noise you will hear now and then). If however you DO see a snake:

• Leave it alone. If removal is required, contact our local snake catcher. Try and keep eyes on the snake until Annalyla arrives. We will cover the cost of any snake relocation.

Annalyla Townsend 0476 983 641

In-house Fire

First ensure all in your party immediately leave the house and are safe. There is a fire blanket and fire extinguisher in the cupboard next to the kitchen. Please only use if you feel there is no risk to safety. The house is insured.

Bushfire Awareness

Be aware of the general level of bushfire risk. Local forests and nearby properties are vulnerable to catastrophic fire events. Staying informed, especially during dry conditions, is essential for personal safety.

Download the NSW Rural Fire Service “Fires Near Me” app and check it regularly during the fire season. Note that it may not identify all fires.

If a local bushfire is known or suspected, the official risk level is a key factor in evacuation decisions. The current bushfire risk level for the Bawley Point area is displayed on signage as you drive into town. This information is fed from the Bureau of Meteorology website for the Illawarra and Shoalhaven region (Area 5).

Be alert and cautious during warm, dry periods. Staff and guests should watch for signs such as the smell or sight of smoke, yellow‑orange filtered sunlight, or the sound of sirens. Keep tuned to local ABC radio for updates.

After electrical storms, be particularly vigilant — lightning strikes in bushland are the most common cause of bushfires.

Be aware that electricity supplies are likely to be suddenly lost in high winds or lightning storms. Keep phone equipment charged, emergency lighting ready.

Should you become suspicious that there could be a local or regional fire, then then alert your host and await their instructions. Guest and staff are required to follow instructions given by your host or emergency personnel. If the host cannot be contacted, alert all other guests and contact 000 emergency services.

Bushfire Evacuation Readiness

In windy and dry conditions, bushfires can move very quickly.

• Standby: Once communicated by the owner, this means everyone on site must be made aware of a district bushfire and the possibility that evacuation may be required.

• Prepare: Everyone on site must be ready to evacuate and remain prepared in accordance with the “How to Prepare for Evacuation” guidelines below.

• Evacuate: All guests on site must evacuate the property, provided it is safe to do so. See “How to Decide if It Is Safe to Evacuate.”

Do not leave if it is not safe to do so.

Evacuation Process

How to Prepare for Evacuation Immediately

If the host or emergency services instructs advises, or your own assessment indicates, the need to Prepare for Evacuation, all adults should:

1. Place personal possessions (if safe to do so) and ample drinking water in your car.

2. Ensure anyone dependent on you remains close at hand.

3. Firmly close all windows and doors in your accommodation.

4. Make sure everyone on site is aware of the situation and share any new information as it develops.

If the host or emergency services instructs advises, or your own assessment indicates, that you should evacuate:

1. If it is known that travel along Bawley Point Road to Termeil is free of fire or smoke, THEN guests must leave the property in their own cars and make their way to Termeil and await further evacuation instructions.

2. IF visibility on Bawley Point Road is compromised by smoke, then a fire could be close and it is not safe to travel to Termeil. Guests are to wait out any fire approach at the Bawley Point headland at the eastern end of Tingara Drive. This is the beach road opposite Sunnyside that heads towards The Gantry.

3. Guests should should park their vehicles at the headland and seek refuge. Do not block access roads with cars.

4. Do not take action to protect the house or other properties. Sunnyside is insured. Your safety is our priority.

5. Do not return to the house until emergency services advise it is safe to do so.

6. If fire approaches whilst you are seeking refuge at the headland, leave your vehicles, head down to Bawley Beach or Gannet Beach Beach and wait for further instructions.

Departure is by 11:00 a.m.

Before leaving, please:

• Ensure all windows and doors are closed and locked

• All fires should be extinguished.

• Turn off lights, fans, and air‑conditioning

• Empty the fridge

• Take rubbish to the correct bins

• Double‑check you haven’t left anything behind

• Please send a text message to 0499 253 896 upon departure so that we can advise cleaning staff.

Thank you for staying at Sunnyside — we hope to welcome you back again.
