Greta Cottage, Gerringong

TennelleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a beautiful weekend away at Gerringong Cottage. The accommodation is stunning and so welcoming, the pool and ping pong made for great family fun. The short stroll to the gorgeous village with delicious food and lovely boutiques makes it the perfect location.

Kiama Aspect on Jones Beach

WendyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The grandkids were not only allowed but welcomed in that there were toys and beach stuff there for them. We didn't need to take the portable cot as one was provided which was better and bigger than the portable one so made more room in the car. The house was very comfortable, clean and had everything that we needed. The location was perfect. Directly opposite a playground and the beach both of which we spent loads of time at. Found our new favourite picnic spot nearby, but the location will just have to be our secret. It was a very relaxing special place to be with our son and his family. Fluer also allowed our other son and his partner to visit.

We absolutely loved the accommodation! It has been styled perfectly, has a fantastic cafe around the corner and is located very close to the train station (with minimal noise) for easy transport into Kiama. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Casa Sul Lago in the H'Lands

SurangaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a very relaxing stay at Alpine farm. The house was clean and had all of the creature comforts with a spectacular view of the farm. The deck which extends over the pond was lovely to relax on and watch nature unfold.. Our two dogs enjoyed their morning strolls on the farms saying hello and making friends with all of the farm animals 😊 The enclosed section was also great for them to have a bit of a run around.. Vicki and John were exceptional hosts that went above and beyond to make us feel at home and make our stay comfortable.. from providing us with eggs from the farm for breakfast when the shops were all out, to taking us along to feed the horses, and the many great recommendations of surrounding cafes and restaurants.. We would love to visit again ❤️

Unique, eco-friendly, rural house

CamillaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Dennis made our stay very comfortable at Grey Gums. We commend Dennis for his hospitality during our stay and would love to come back and explore the area even more. The place was homely and had everything you could need from the cooking basics and utensils to games areas, cozy corners to read a book in, and a firepit ready with kindling and firewood for sitting around and toasting marshmallows in the evenings. We really had a relaxing time there enjoying the location, being in the middle of nature, we couldn’t have asked for more, with things to do around the property in every direction - definitely would recommend traversing down to nelson creek and back as well as kayaking down kangaroo river to get lots of wildlife and bird watching opportunities.

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.
