Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Shell Cove

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.

Zubin was a responsive host and the place was clean and had all the amenities listed. Great for larger groups since it has a double garage with space in the driveway for parking as well. The views and the location were really good.

Such a great spot, we kayacked on the Minnamurra River and really enjoyed the close vicinity of the beach and coffee shops. We are already planning to return. Thanks Jenna and Joel also for the welcome pack of wine and nibbles.

We had a wonderful stay at Richard's place! It’s spacious with plenty of rooms, making it perfect for our family gathering. The home is very kid-friendly, and the location is ideal—just a short walk to the water and a nearby playground. Highly recommended for families looking for a relaxing getaway.

Nola & Grahame are welcoming hosts with great communication. Located on a central road with a 10 min downhill walk to town or to join the coastal walk path. Otherwise just a 2 min walk to great pizza, general boutique store, bottle shop, cafe & F&C. The beds & lounge were comfortable, kitchen was as described, bathroom was new and spotless. In fact, the whole place was very clean and well curated. Little extras such as toiletries and tea, coffee, milk etc were provided. It is a very comfortable & cosy space. Would return & recommend

Amazing House and the location was perfect.. Kids throughly enjoyed the water front.. Highly recommended.. Thanks Dana..

Absolutely loved our stay here. The views from the house are amazing and Ashley has thought of everything when it comes to the practicality of an Airbnb. Great host and very responsive and the place genuinely had everything we needed for a great time away with out kids. Will definitely recommend it to others.

We spent a weekend at Sassafras as a family as a surprise for my Mum's 70th Birthday. It is the most beautiful and private location for anyone wanting a true country escape to unwind. A stunning home nestled amongst rolling hills and greenery with breathtaking views. Huge house with a beautiful relaxed vibe, plenty of room for the family to enjoy together, allowing the kids to enjoy activities on the lawn and for the adults to relax and enjoy conversaion and a glass of wine around the fireplace. Sally was an incredible host, extremely friendly, quick to respond with any question and extremely accomodating. Would recommend hands down, we were very happy with our stay!

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.

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!

Absolutely wonderful stay! This place is in a magnificent location with stunning views – truly a perfect getaway. The kitchen was very well-equipped with everything you need for cooking, including a barbecue, which we really enjoyed using. The host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome: the kitchen was stocked with thoughtful touches like milk, coffee, sauces, spices, and even a bottle of wine. Both bedrooms had cozy blankets and heaters, which made the stay super comfortable. We felt right at home. Highly recommended!

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.

It was exactly what we needed after walking the Royal Coastal track! Thoughtful touches made us feel right at home, and the apartment was beautifully clean. We enjoyed the serene river views with plentiful birdlife which were even better for being on the first floor.

Such a lovely Airbnb in a beautiful location. Cheryl is so thoughtful!

Bernadette’s place is lovely! Stunning views, clean and tidy. Air con would have been good and to be able to open the bedroom windows as could be a little warm at night, apart from that, it was fantastic!

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.

Wonderful location and view. Well worth the money!

Mio’s place was perfect for our 3 day weekend in Wollongong. Very clean and well equipped and stocked with everything we needed (including chocolates and drinks), good wifi and central location. Easy check in and out, good value for money. We would definitely stay again.

Xiao and Tim were wonderful hosts, warm, friendly, and welcoming. Their home was spotless, and the room was immaculate, comfortable, and perfectly air-conditioned—just what we needed during the hot weather. The patio was a lovely spot to relax, and for fellow dog lovers, cuddles with their adorable pups, Lotus and Phoenix, were an added treat (at your discretion). The complex also offered fantastic amenities, including a beautiful outdoor heated pool and a well-equipped gym. The location is also excellent! Right on the harbour and a short walking distance to a variety of restaurants and stunning beaches. A fantastic stay—I highly recommend it!

The Coastal Rainforest Retreat was the perfect stay, and just what we were looking for. A quick drive to restaurants and beaches. Would highly recommend!!

A very roomy, neat, tidy and well furnished unit Exactly what we were looking for with easy access to local shops/pub.

Great Beach side location in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Lee provided a mini fridge full of snacks and drinks which served as breakfast. it's a shame we only stayed one night, his place would've been perfect for a multi night getaway from the busy Sydney life.

Perfect location. Close to everything Bowral has to offer. Comfortable villa with everything you need. A real suntrap during the day. Ideal 3-night stay

We had a great stay! The accomodation was lovely and comfortable, exactly how it was described. I would recommend this to anyone exploring the Southern Highlands!
