Rosemoon studio on Addison
The stay was perfect for 2 people to relax and enjoy privately. The amenities provided everything you would need for an overnight stay and more to keep yourselves entertained during your stay. The neighbourhood seemed safe and comfortable, and it was reassuring to have the owners of the place nearby if we needed anything. Ultimately, I would highly recommend this place for others in the future.
Cozy North Gong Unit - Steps to Beach, AC Comfort!
Lovely, sun drenched unit a couple of blocks from the beach. It had everything needed for a pleasant, comfortable stay. There’s a construction site next door which Jake mentions in the listing. It didn’t bother me as I was not in the unit during working hours.
Cosy 1 bedroom granny flat with patio.
Lovely and quiet, very clean and had everything I needed! Big space with plenty of room. Easy to find and beautiful surroundings. Thank you Belinda!
High Rise Ocean View Apartment
Guy's place was amazing!! It was everything we needed for a weekend away. Spacious and clean. Location was spot on, very central. The view was always pretty awesome. The bed was ultimate comfort, soft and cosy. We appreciated Guy's quick communication too. We hope to stay here again in the future!
Luxe 2 Bed Apartment - Walk To Beach - Wollongong
Very cosy. Loved the decors. Well positioned near the city and beaches. Mollie is a wonderful host, always responsive when you needed her. We really enjoyed our stay.
Mount Keira Hideaway
This house is tiny but it’s extremely well-organised and we loved its coziness and the view. Our favourite part was feeling like we were in the middle of the bush, and toasting marshmallows outside on an open fire. Clara was very friendly and helpful.
The Loft
A very roomy, neat, tidy and well furnished unit Exactly what we were looking for with easy access to local shops/pub.
A Gem in the heart of the Gong
Fantastic stay in a great location close to the beach and central shopping. The apartment is very well stocked with extra towels and all the amenities you need. The only heads up I would give to inquiring guests is that even though there is AC in the lounge room, there is no AC unit in the bedroom, and it can get very hot when sleeping in summer. It is still a 5 star stay regardless and I would highly recommend and look forward to returning, excellent value.

Your guide to Wollongong
All About Wollongong
A university town with a breezy sense of cool, Wollongong strikes the perfect balance between outdoor and city living. This is due, in part, to its location, perched between mountains, lush rainforest, national parks, and a dramatic coastline that gives rise to the city’s surf, boat, and beach culture. For starters, Wollongong boasts a top-notch restaurant and bar scene, which radiates out from the city’s centre around Crown Street and draws Sydneysiders who make the 80-minute drive for spicy Balinese noodles and traditional lamb shawarma.
Wollongong is also known as a hub for new technology, with two science centres championing technological advances and future sustainability. Choosing the right holiday house in Wollongong all depends on what you’re looking for. The Blue Mile district is close to the city’s eateries and coffee haunts. Or, if you want the sand on your doorstep, take your pick from one of the town’s three city beaches, or head up or down the coast for a more rural vibe.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Wollongong
For optimal beach weather, it’s best to search for Wollongong holiday rentals in the cooler summer months of February and March. December and January are popular too, but it can get quite hot. If you’re a fan of live music and dancing, come in January when the city celebrates Australia Day. This is also when the Honk! Oz Street Music Festival rolls into town to transform the city streets into a parade of performers. Winter is the time to surf, as the low-pressure systems in the Tasman sea beef up the swell and the winds blow offshore. May, September, and October are the months when you’re most likely to see schools of migrating whales from one of the area’s lookouts.
Top things to do in Wollongong
Markets
If you’re planning on cooking during your stay, head to the Friday Forage weekly farmers market for fresh local produce. Or, for the city’s best street food, make a Thursday evening date with the food trucks at East Street Market. For independent fashion stalls and works by local artists, visit the Showground every second Sunday, when the Sunday Foragers mix up food stalls with arts and crafts from the region.
Wattamolla Beach
Known for its calm waters, with the sea on one side and a lagoon on the other, Wattamolla Beach is popular with anyone looking for a safe spot to swim and snorkel. Located in the Royal National Park, there is a charge to drive there and parking is limited during the summer months when the beach is at its busiest.
Hang Gliding Bald Point Lookout
Bald Hill is worth a visit just for the views from its famous lookout. But, if you’re feeling brave, this is also the ideal place to take flight and try your hand at single or tandem hang gliding. After a short safety course, you can launch off the hill and float out toward the sea for a birds-eye view of the coast.
