Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Illawarra

Gorgeous studio perfect for my weekend in Sydney. Had everything plus more that I needed and Michael left great instructions and local guide. The place was spotless and very comfortable. Fantastic location close to public transport and was able to find parking close enough.

We had a fantastic stay at this charming cottage! The hosts were wonderfully flexible and quick to respond, making check-in and out a breeze. The cottage was beautifully decorated, with a very comfy bed, a fully stocked kitchen, and a fenced yard perfect for our dog. Best of all, it’s walking distance to shops and the beach. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at Bibish. We were in town for a wedding in Wollongong so wanted to be nearby but also close to other tourist destinations. This location was perfect. Quiet and very comfortable but close to Shellharbour, Shell Cove, Kiama and Gerringong. The home was beautifully clean, spacious and comfortable. We had everything we needed for the week.

Thank you for having my family Catherine, it had everything we needed for the weekend! We were there my sons football tournament which was literally just over 5 minutes down the road super convenient an close to the shops aswell. Would definitely come an stay again and highly recommend your air bnb, it was clean comfy a home away from home. Thank you again

Ocean Escape Barrack Point is a spacious residence adequately furnished, comfortable bedrooms, clean rest/bathrooms and a well fitted out kitchen. The only drawback was the absolutely slow wifi. The host, Richard was contactable and responsive. Would easily revisit and stay the next time we venture down south to play golf at the many great courses.

Enjoyed the stay thoroughly. Beautiful sea view by the balcony. Would love to return. The property is not a wheelchair friendly residence as you need to climb stairs to enter the house.

Great place to stay when travelling in a group. Multiple living areas and plenty for the kids to do. Extremely clean and comfortable. Highly recommend.

We went for a long weekend to Dalys’s & thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything was thoughtfully laid out & was so clean , neat and tidy. Breakfast provisions were provided plus other lovely treats. There isn’t really a supermarket nearby but general store has some food basics. The cafe next door to the general store is gorgeous and well worth a brunch stop but you really need to book in before hand , it’s busy. Lots of walks and places to eat breakfast & lunch all at your door stop. Dinner is more limited but the pub is easy and only a few minutes stroll down from the house. We took my elderly mum and she was fine with the stairs in the house, they are easy & low rise. In fact she wanted to move in and had such a great time. Driveway & steps up to the house are a bit steep with a pebbled part to walk on if you struggle with mobility. Everything about this property feels luxurious , airy and inviting. Sunlight & views into the living spaces is glorious. We would love to stay again.

Great apartment that felt right at home! It was very convenient, had everything we needed for our long week-end. The beds are comfy and the balcony was great to get a bit of sunshine on a cold winter day! It's a 10min walk to the harbour and lighthouse and also very easy to find restaurants in the area. We'll definitely stay there again next time we visit Wollongong!

This is our third time saying.. A really great little hidden gem .

I had a lovely stay at Liane and John’s studio. Beautifully furnished, with lots of attention to detail. Lovely to be able to walk straight to the beach and long walkway along this coastal strip.

Beautiful location with amazing view. The apartment was very clean and close to everything. Noel and Sally always responded on time. I highly recommend this apartment and will definitely be booking it again

Jack’s apartment was perfect for our stay in Wollongong. The facilities were clean, comfortable and homey. Lots of extras were provided which made us feel quite welcome. An easy walk into town from the apartment. 😊

This is my second stay at Mick's apartment and it remains one of the best Airbnb's I have stayed in. The location is superb - easy walking distance to both the centre of Wollongong and the beach. The apartment itself has such a homely feel - fabulously decorated and really comfortable. As it is set back from the road, there is minimal traffic noise and it is very private. The weather was extremely cold over the weekend, but the heater was more than adequate to ensure a warm and cosy stay. The gorgeous balcony would be perfect to enjoy in the warmer months. The apartment was really clean and the bed was super comfortable. Everything we needed for our weekend was provided - we especially loved the Sonos speakers. Mick is a very generous and easy going host, and his communication is excellent. I highly recommend his apartment when you are visiting Wollongong!

My husband and I stayed in the West Apartment for two nights. It was a lovely stay. The apartment is roomy and comfortable, with high-quality finishings and furnishing. The aircon kept the rooms cosy and warm. The kitchenette had everything we needed, and the neighbourhood is lovely: tree-filled and quiet. There was ample free street parking. We'd definitely stay in Anne's apartment again.

the place was very peaceful and a perfect spot for quick getaway from busy life. the best experience is to hear the ocean waves right from the unit, regardless where you are in the unit, whether you're in kitchen or laying on bed.

Wonderful location and view. Well worth the money!

It was the first trip abroad for the three of us. It was raining and cold on the day I moved to the accommodation, but I was so grateful that you adjusted the check-in time. I had a good stay in a comfortable accommodation. Thank you.

Glen’s place was in a great location, and he was kind enough to let me check in a bit earlier, which I really appreciated. It’s very easy to get to from the airport, and there are lots of cute cafes and dining spots in the area. I hadn’t explored this side of Sydney before and truly enjoyed discovering it. The space is small but ideal for a solo traveller or a couple who plans to spend most of their time out and doesn’t need to cook much beyond tea or a sandwich. While it’s an interior studio and faces a wall -it is surrounded by beautiful plants, including a lovely monstera, so it feels quite private and green. The washing machine is a fantastic perk, and although there are occasional announcements from the nearby centre, I didn’t find them disruptive. The only things I would tweak are the gap between the bed and the wall, which makes it a bit less comfortable when sitting up, and the lighting—I would have liked a stronger light source. Perfect for a short stay.

Strongly recommend for the stay in Sydney, especially if you are beach lover! Location super convenient to the congee and great amenities within short distance. Although we did not get a chance to nice Penny, from the conversation with her, I can feel she is a sincere host and help you along the way even before arrival. Her place is spotlessly clean and comfortable to stay.

Everything about our experience echoes the other positive reviews we read before booking this place. Thanks Ryan!

I cannot say enough great things about our stay at Sharon’s one bedroom in the city! First, Sharon was a gem of a host! She was very responsive and sent detailed instructions with pictures for check in, knowing it could be confusing to find. She was also flexible to allow us to drop off bags early, which was a huge help! The apartment was just as described, a comfy space to come back to after big days of exploring! It was very clean and had all we needed for our stay.

Great compact apartment in Potts Point, in a very central area. Close to shops, cafes, public transport and restaurants. Immaculately clean and comfortable. Everything’s was as displayed in the listing.

Amazing location we stayed last minute for one night in Bondi. Perfect for couple. You couldn’t get closer to the ocean and literally next to Bondi Icebergs. We will def be back.
