Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Illawarra

Alyson’s cottage is in the most picturesque spot and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in what felt like a home away from home. Loved walking the property with the horses and playing on the tennis court. Having the enclosed back grass area was brilliant for our dog. Very warm central heating & blankets for winter too.

Stayed over the weekend and had an absolute ball, the place was lovely and the views were gorg 💗

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!

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.

Absolutely loved our stay at Erica's place! Seriously, it was the cleanest house I've ever encountered in Sydney, which made our trip so comfortable. The proximity to the beach was a dream – we could hear the soothing sound of the waves at night, and as a bonus, we even saw kangaroos and dolphins during our walks to the shore! We really appreciated how well-stocked the house was – they thought of everything! Erica was a wonderful host, and we had such a memorable and fun time. Can't wait to come back!

Wonderful experience. Nice family house and beautiful backyard .

Anne’s stay was so lovely! Such a great space and beautiful location. Anne was very helpful and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Perfect beach escape! Just a few steps from the sand and you can hear the waves from the doorstep. Super relaxing spot with everything you need, and the location couldn’t be better!

I had a fantastic experience at this Airbnb! The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, offering helpful recommendations and making sure I felt at home. The location was perfect: close to everything, yet quiet enough for a restful night. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Top spot to gather with family and friends. Walked every where we wanted to go. Dined out one night and dined in with Uber Eats the next night. Everything we needed was on hand. We had a six month old with us and there was plenty of room for him to roll around on his rug with a roomy living area and plenty of space for everyone. Lovely balcony area with comfy furnishings to enjoy the morning sun. Thanks for a lovely time.

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

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

The apartment was very clean and well stocked on things like toilet paper, toiletries, washing and cleaning products. Bed was lovely and comfortable. Great WIFI . The location of the apartment was great - a short walk and you were at the beach. Also close by was the bus stop for the free Wollongong bus.

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. 😊

The apartment was really nice, very clean, and had everything we needed. The parking facility was also excellent. We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful location and view. Well worth the money!

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.

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.

Di’s place was everything I was looking for during my 5 night stay. It was nice that it came pre-stocked with some basics (coffee pods, tea bags and instant oatmeal) if you arrived without groceries (like me). It also comes with any necessary cleaning supplies for longer stays (dish detergent, clothes detergent , bathroom etc.). I felt safe in the building. A key fob is required to enter building and access your specific floor. Motion sensor lighting greets you upon exiting the elevator. Location was perfect, 1.5 blocks from Museum train station (direct trains to airport) and multiple bus lines. Nearby Hyde park was lovely to walk through and the Hyde Park Barracks at the opposite end is a must see museum to learn about the settlement of Sydney. Easy to walk to Chinatown and the Paddy Market (great for souvenirs) as well as the botanical gardens, the Opera House or Darling Harbor and the Maritime Museum. Coles (open until midnight) and an IGA are within 2-3 blocks.

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.

Damian was a great host. He even personally came around with a spare key. The property is as described. It was very quiet. Close to good restaurants and a couple of supermarkets. 2minutes walk to the Light Rail which goes down to Circular Quay. We will definitely stay again. Dianne and Kevin

Great location at a reasonable price. Very clean and host is flexible. Able to store luggages and also able to check in early / check out late.
