Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Illawarra

Nina’s house was everything she described in the booking. It was a beautiful, cozy space with a large kitchen, comfy beds and linen and such a peaceful place out the back with the hot tub, beautiful greenery and fire pit. Whilst we only stayed for 2 nights and just over a day, it was the perfect place to unwind, connect with family and make special memories.

The place was so nice, we felt at home and the whole place satisfy us. We need the place for next year around the same time after Easter.

Gail was very informative and the stay was just as good as we expected, she also made fresh bread for us the next morning, would definitely stay again!

We had an amazing stay at Bundarra Farm! Rayma went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. She even took us on a buggy ride through the paddocks, which was a fantastic way to take in the stunning scenery. The animals were a highlight of our trip! From the friendly dogs, horses, and llamas, to the cows, calves, bull, roos, and a variety of birds, it was a true animal lover's paradise. My 2-year-old had an absolute ball with all the animals! The Kingfisher Pavilion Suite had everything we could possibly need and more. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, and I highly recommend Bundarra Farm to anyone looking for a peaceful and unique getaway. Would definitely love to return!

What a beautiful place to stay. Short walk to main street with restaurants, coffee etc. The house itself was gorgeous. Well equipped kitchen. We made good use of the hot tub and log fire. And spacious. New bathrooms and big bedrooms. Very nice outside area with bbq. And the gardens are amazing. Would highly recommend.

Allison is a fantastic host. She gave us options for early check in and late check out without asking. She followed up to ensure we reached the property safely and were able to get in without any issues.she had great recommendations for local cafes, restaurants and beaches The property was perfect for our family of 4. Walking distance to local beaches, cafes and restaurants . Perfectly located to drive to other popular beaches . P.S- Our kids loved the book collection!! Would stay here again !

This cottage is a dream for any couple looking to relax and spend some quality time together. Beautiful view of rolling hills from both bed and the bathtub (which fits 2 people). Very comfortable and cozy! Small kitchenette with enough space to make some simple meals and also very close to Jamberoo town and Kiama if you prefer to eat out. Great location, great price, we had a fantastic weekend.

Our farm stay was perfect from start to finish! The cottage was exactly as pictured—clean, stylish, and cozy with a modern farmhouse-coastal vibe. Check-in was easy, and parking was plentiful. Our host was friendly and responsive, even arranging a fun feeding the farm animals—which our daughter loved. That evening, we relaxed in the pre-heated hot tub watching the sunset over the mountains, enjoying a surprise bottle of wine left for us—especially appreciated since it was Good Friday and shops were closed. We slept well, and all the amenities were high quality. The next morning, fresh-baked bread on the deck was so thoughtful. Though peaceful and secluded, the property was just minutes from town and Kiama. We also visited Jervis Bay and Jamberoo Action Park. An unforgettable Easter getaway—everything exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to return!

We traveled as two families with children under the age of 11. A total of 5 children and 4 adults. The space was absolutely perfect for all of us, there was plenty of communal space where we could come together, as well as space for the kids to escape to. The place is well equipped with board games, cards, good old fashioned dvds, and everything you could possibly need to cook and eat together. The balcony space was especially great! We really appreciated the tranquility of the location and the fact that everything had been thought of. Will most definitely return!

Loved the cottage, it was super homely and cosy. We had a fantastic weekend here. The backyard is especially lovely! We wished we got to enjoy it more but it rained the whole weekend we stayed. We would definitely stay here again!

Great getaway with enclosed area for a little one and dog. Central and quiet

Central to everything in the Eastern Suburbs overlooking the iconic Coogee Beach. Uber rides less than $20 to everywhere (Darling Harbour, Bondi, City Centre, Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, Bondi Junction) Highly recommended and will stay there again .... when next in Sydney.

Lovely stay, clean and a beautiful home. Walking distance to the beach, we look forward to staying again soon. Luscombe Family

We had the best weekend at Wombiombi Cottage! The cottage is immaculately clean and so peaceful. We loved sitting on the verandah listening to the birds, with a glass of wine and watching our dog run around the back paddock and enjoy the space. Fran was so friendly and responsive, and welcomed us with homemade cupcakes. We also had one of Fran’s home made dinners which was delicious. The location is fantastic, secluded yet just a 10 min drive to Bowral and Berrima. We already can’t wait to go back, our new favourite place! Thank you for a great weekend Fran! Marissa, Niel and Pinot ❤️ 🐾

Perfect. Can't wait to be back :)

Loved Phou’s place. It was the perfect place for us to use as a base for our trip to Sydney. Phou was so good to communicate with and the fridge was so well stocked! Really loved it.

Remarkably well provisioned. Beds were super comfy and the location is spot on. Very easy to get to the city or walking distance to Bondi beach. Great host!

Great place. Very clean. Host is super helpful and generous.

We had a wonderful stay at Susie Airbnb beautiful modern apartment perfect location for transport and beaches Susie was very welcoming and would help if you needed any information about anything local would highly recommend this apartment and we would come back again in the future

This house is absolutely stunning, you will not want to leave. The view is spectacular, the inside was cosy and spacious, it looked like it was straight out of a magazine and perfect for a weekend to hang with friends. We will be back because we loved it so much! Thanks for being great hosts! We were lucky enough to get an early check-in and late check-out, which we appreciated greatly!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t recommend Rob and Lynsey’s bush retreat enough! The place was exactly as shown in the photos. It was extremely clean and comfortable. They provided everything that would be needed for a weekend getaway. The trampoline was a hit with our eldest and I’m sure if it wasn’t raining the pool would have been as well. Rob and Lynsey were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. Thank you for hosting such a wonderful stay!

We had a fantastic weekend staying at Carmen’s house. The house was light and airy and we felt at home straight away. Carmen was great in the run up to the trip, always friendly and helpful with her communication. Culburra beach is only a short walk from the property, with beautiful white sand and fantastic views. We would have loved to stay longer!

The kitchen and lounge room were spacious, the carpets looked new. The bed was comfy, aircon and shower all worked well. I cannot fault anything about the place!

We had a great stay at Mark and Sandra’s place. The house is very nice and spacious. The description, photos and amenities in the listing are accurate. The kitchen was amazing, there were plenty of pots and pans and kitchen stuff so we had no issues when we prepared our meals. Their place has a very homey ambience. Mark has been very responsive to queries and concerns. We had an issue with the screen door during check in but Mark was able to sort it out asap. We had a very nice stay at their place. We highly recommend their place. Thank you Mark and Sandra for being great hosts!
