Family-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Illawarra

A very comfortable house for a family group in great location in Kiama Downs, walking distance to the shops and beach. Very nice amenities including the spa and a big terrace. Good yard for the dogs too.

Perfect location. Walking distance to cbd, restaurants and bars nearby, lots of public transport options. Comfortable apartment with beautiful views of Hyde park.

Absolutely the best place to stay in Stanwell Park! The accommodation is exceptionally comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchenette and the lovely surprise of freshly baked bread each morning. Gail is a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and always willing to help. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Highly recommended!

From the moment we arrived every detail about guest experience has been thought of. There are so many little, thoughtful details that truly make you feel so welcomed. My highlights were; meeting Greg who was putting the horses to bed and happy for us to wander up and have a chat and meet the animals. The two dogs Chum and Bundy were really friendly and up for a pat. Plus, the duck pond with the viewing platform and seat. So cute! The firepit had all the wood and was ready to go which I really regret not making the most of this. The personalised card, treats and breakfast was really sweet, and they provided tips on making the most of the claw foot bath tub. It's hard to find an AirBNB that still cares so much about guest experience. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the horses and alpacas in the paddock, and waking up in the morning with the view of the horses frolicking around. It's was an unreal experience that allowed us to unwind from our busy lives

Great stay with an amazing location. Highly recommend! Thanks so much for an easy and great stay!

Coco’s place was perfect, great location and everything we needed for a Sydney city stay. The apartment has everything we needed which made or stay super easy. Coco met us and checked us in and is a fantastic host.

A wonderful place in the country for a short break with the dogs for my daughter and her husband. I booked at very last minute due to the flooding in the mid north coast and Ellen and Tim were so responsive and accommodating accepting our booking so late and making it happen. They had been before and the experience was just as perfect - and super understanding of the dogs muddy feet due to all the rain. Thank you so much - we will be back again for longer next time.

Such a cozy and cute cottage for a peaceful, relaxing getaway. We loved staying here - seeing the horses and cows, and relaxing in the hot tub. Kate was very responsive as well for anything we needed.

We stayed here in this unspoilt part of paradise for 4 nights and everything that we experienced from location, weather and amenities of the home were beyond our expectations and made our time here very memorable. Highly recommend Anne's place for a very relaxing and peaceful time away. Thank you Anne for your communication before, during and after our stay.

A very homely cosy cottage, well presented and ideal for our girls weekend away. We will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Beautiful location and particularly impressed how well equipped the place was. Had everything you’d need! Everything from insect repellent to clips to reseal open packets. It made my stay so easy and comfortable!

Absolutely wonderful stay! The space was immaculate, comfortable, and perfectly located. Danny was welcoming and very responsive. Highly recommend! Will gladly stay again when back in the area!

Absolute 10/10 stay! Everything was perfect from the tiny details (robes, slippers, tea, milk, olive oil) to the things on offer (board games, yoga mats and snorkles). The house was beautifully designed and super clean, with absolutely everything we could have needed and more. We had such a good time, we ended up extending our stay for an extra night! Will be recommending to all friends and family. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much to Rob and Bede for the excellent staycation.

Fran's place is perfect for a quiet getaway. The cabin is well equipped and has everything you could need. Our dog enjoyed roaming around the paddocks and the space is very pet friendly. The cabin is very tranquil but still only a short drive from all the amenities you need. Fran is also an amazing host and was a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely be back!

Justin was an amazing communicator. He answered all my question s smaller amount of time and was wonderful in relaying places we should see.

Deb’s place is beautiful. The surrounds are amazing. Sheep, Chickens and Alpaca’s are great for the kids. The accommodation is modern, clean, spacious and very comfortable. The fireplace is great. Would definitely recommend for a quiet weekend away.

We needed assistance at the last minute because we inadvertently got locked out of our Air BnB acct. Victoria responded to a text within a few minutes and helped us resolve our problem. She was great!!

Hosts were lovely & open to answer questions! Space is small, but cozy & had everything we needed! The playful dog greets you in the garden & makes your day a little better :)

We had a lovely time at Rod and Lynsey’s place. All of the needs for young families was very well thought out from night lights to access to a huge trampoline and simple things like washing machine detergent and milk for breakfast after a late night arrival. They also offered tips to travel more easily into Sydney city and there bar area was a fun and relaxing retreat for parents. Thanks very much, we look forward to visiting at the same time next year!

Wonderful little cabin attached to a main house, but with private entrance. Exactly what you need for a peaceful break, inc. wallabies multiple times in the garden! Peaceful, quiet and a very responsive host. Would absolutely return.

This is a great apartment to stay in. There is everything you neaded. I highly recoment this to stay in. You can walk to everything you nead and the rooftop is fantastic. Thanks Olli we had the best stay.

We loved our stay! Airbnb was much better than it appears in the photos, bed was very comfortable and such a tranquil location. We loved chatting with Donna and meeting the horses on the property. Couldn’t have asked for a better Airbnb for a weekend getaway from Sydney!

My friends and I were completely happy with the property and our Host Eva. It was exactly what was described and Eva was so lovely by giving us a proactive call to give us tips for our amazing stay.

We had a great stay at Carole’s place in Kangaroo Valley! Very cosy, homey cottage with a well stocked kitchen for cooking, and close to the local town. Carole was very helpful and responsive. It was a beautiful location with lots of wildlife!
