"Sans Souci" - it means no worries
The house is neat, tidy and comfy. My family and I enjoyed the house and the amazing big backyard. The fire pit was great to sit around in the evening with our pizza and toasting our marshmallows. Our only difficulty was having only 1 toilet with all of us there.. would definitely stay again!

Wombarra Luxe Cottage
What a cute sanctuary for our visit to the South Coast. Amenities were super clean, fresh and brand new. It was a mini home away from home. I loved the cockatoo visits in the morning, the kitchenette, generous champagne and chocolate on arrival (yum!) beds were so comfortable also. Would have loved a sofa to cuddle up to the kids on + a downstairs toilet that’s close to the rooms for middle of the night. Other than that - perfection! Everything we needed. Thank you Lisa for hosting our small family.

Relax-Inn Austinmer. Luxury detached Guest House.
Perfect spot for what we needed. Place was well maintained and opened out to the most incredible garden. Kitchen amenities were perfect. Felt like even the smallest detail was thought of for the guests comfort. Many thanks to David and Monique for being amazing with communication and also so thoughtful and considerate with all things to do with our stay.

A quiet gateway home
Percy’s place was very well appointed and spacious. We stayed for 4 weeks whilst doing home renovations. Plenty of space for a family plus being able to bring our dog was such a bonus. Lovely views out over the trees. Percy was a very responsive host and immediately arranged replacement of the dryer when it broke which was so appreciated!

Wombarra Beach Shack
Beautiful home with a leafy outlook and glimpses of the water. A very cosy stay for our family of 4, we loved our morning walks across the oval to the sand and the many lovely cafes in the area. Cameron was a generous host accomodating a last minute booking as well as a late check out.

Wyuna West Room 2
We had a great long (winter) weekend at Sue and Rod's place. Great communication, very clean, quality linen, cosy, a short walk to restaurants and even shorter to the beach. Lovely views from the verandah that had sun all day. Great attention to details and great inclusions. They have the high rating for good reasons.

Austi Beach Escape—A Dreamy Oceanfront Haven
Great few days in Austinmer to recover from our flight from Uk. Apartment was super clean and perfect location opposite the beach.

Studio in Coledale
Accommodating hosts beautiful place well located 100m from beach highly recommend thank you!

Your guide to Austinmer
Welcome to Austinmer
Just 80 kilometres south of Sydney, the village of Austinmer is a popular day trip from Australia’s largest city. But when you arrive, you’ll want to linger. This pocket of northern Wollongong revolves around the beach. Few are drawn here for much more than the sand, sun, and surf, not to mention the delicious seafood. The beach sees consistently good waves, which roll in between two headlands a 20-minute drive from Wollongong’s central city district. Prefer to swim? Austinmer Beach also has two large and calm rock pools, making it, and the surrounding parkland, popular for family picnics. When you’re not in the water, there are plenty of other dreamy rainforest-meets-ocean diversions along the South Coast of New South Wales, including nearby Kiama. If there was ever an idyllic Aussie destination that has it all, Austinmer may well be it.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Austinmer
Austinmer is beachside living at its best. So it comes as no surprise that peak months here are when the sun is out and the mercury is on the rise. The village caters to large summer crowds, with the waves patrolled by lifesavers from September through April. But expect the sand to be busy; if you want a lazy day on the beach, consider booking your accommodation for spring or autumn. These shoulder seasons as well as winter also give you the best chance of spotting migrating whales, which frequent the South Coast of New South Wales between May and November. You don’t need to cruise out to spot them, as lookouts adorn the shore.
Top things to do in Austinmer
Nan Tien Temple
The largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere may not be the first thing that springs to mind when you imagine coastal New South Wales. But just south of Wollongong’s city centre you’ll find the Nan Tien Temple, revered for its grand art and architecture. Time your visit to catch one of its colourful festivals and events, and don’t leave without trying a vegetarian meal from the excellent cafe.
Kiama
Whether you drive or catch the train from Wollongong to Kiama, you’re in for a stellar day by the sea. The journey lands you under the spray of one of the world’s largest blowholes, a natural rock formation spouting ocean water high into the sky. Kiama is also the gateway to the epic Kiama Coast Walk, 20 kilometres of clifftop drama that provides views of dolphins and whales during migration season.
Cycling
Leave a minimal footprint when you explore Austinmer and greater Wollongong on two wheels. The area’s coastal tracks are flat and family friendly, and pass dozens of blissful beaches — so pack your swimsuit. Alternatively, head to the hills with mountain biking on your radar and have at the Helensburgh Bike Park or fire trails through the rainforest of the Illawarra Escarpment.
