Waterfront vacation rentals in Wollongong

We enjoyed our stay at Proximity! Although the weather was not so great, we felt cozy and comfy and were just able to chill out inside. Sophie was a great communicator, answering our questions quickly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Thankyou again for our lovely stay.

Cannot recommend this spot enough. The brilliant location and views are second to Nicole as a host. She is above and beyond, has plenty of pantry/fridge staples and snacks, surplus coffee, is super helpful and caring and has placed so many lovely touches around the apartment. I can’t wait to visit again. Thank you 🩷

cosy apartment with a gorgeous view, the place is super comfortable. amazing bed! would stay again

The apartment is in the perfect location for access to the beach and the restaurants of Wollongong. It was easy to get in and communicate with Rick. The pool is smaller than it looks in the photo but heated. In summer the entertainment area next to the pool would be awesome.

We had a beautiful stay. Loved the furnishings and styling of the apartment, photos definitely didn’t do it justice. Beds and linen were comfy, it was clean, kitchen had everything you would need to cook at home. Amazing location - walking distance to beach, playground, cafe and restaurants and just a short car ride away from Shell Cove and within half an hour of places like Berry and Minnamurra rainforest, both of which we visited on the trip. Will definitely stay again!

Jamie’s place was absolutely perfect for a weekend away in Shellharbour. The kitchen was well appointed and the beds were super comfy. She was even kind enough to leave us milk, tea and coffee, along with some very generous treats! We would definitely recommend Jamie’s accommodation and would love to stay there again. It was beautifully position within walking distance to the Waterfront Marina and provided everything we needed for a fabulous weekend. Thanks so much Jamie!

The whole apartment including the kitchen was clean and well furnished. The location less than a block from Botany Bay is beautiful and convenient and there is a supermarket a short walk away.. Thekla is a very friendly hostess and she and her husband were very helpful. I would totally recommend this place.

Danny's house exceeded our expectations in every way! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The location is unbeatable—right on Coogee Beach, where we enjoyed morning strolls and breathtaking sunrises. With cafes, shops, and local attractions all within easy reach, it was the perfect spot for exploring and unwinding. Danny was an exceptional host, going out of his way to ensure our stay was comfortable and seamless. He was incredibly accommodating, always quick to respond and genuinely committed to making our experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for the ultimate beachside getaway, this is the place! We can’t recommend it highly enough and will definitely be back.

Caci was a very responsive host. The house was wonderful. Very clean and comfortable. We loved being able to enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Illawarra from the balcony. The best recommendation we can give is that we would love to return.

We had a great stay and Niesh and Rob's place! Such a calm and relaxing environment, both in and around the house and tge area in general. Fully private, right by the water. Can really recommend it. Will definitely come back. Thanks again!

The grandkids were not only allowed but welcomed in that there were toys and beach stuff there for them. We didn't need to take the portable cot as one was provided which was better and bigger than the portable one so made more room in the car. The house was very comfortable, clean and had everything that we needed. The location was perfect. Directly opposite a playground and the beach both of which we spent loads of time at. Found our new favourite picnic spot nearby, but the location will just have to be our secret. It was a very relaxing special place to be with our son and his family. Fluer also allowed our other son and his partner to visit.

Thank you for the stunning stay. Beautiful home and breathtaking location. Very considerate hosts in every respect.

The place was beautifully designed with lots of nice details. Mike was super friendly—he waited for us to arrive and gave us a tour of the house, which we really appreciated. The swivel chairs and fireplace were such unique touches, and the ocean view was amazing. The house was also really well soundproofed, which made it extra relaxing. We had a great stay!

Dianne has been a wonderful host. The check-in process was clear and concise. The greetings card left on the kitchen bench with lots of helpful information and recommendations. We really enjoyed our short getaway during the weekend in Dianne’s lovely house.

It was fantastic

Ingela's place is amazing, perfectly located, stunning views and so so relaxing. A perfect place to access the bay and the beach and we were so lucky to have beautiful weather and spectacular sun rises. The house is so peaceful and had plenty of room for our group of 7. We loved the front deck and the fire place, great kitchen for cook ups, and our puppy was very happy in this safe environment. Thanks for having us, we would definitely love to come back.

Simply amazing place. Beautifully furnished and decorated, it felt like home straight away. The most comfortable beds ever with quailty bed linen and towels. Everything about Yvonne is thoughtfully considered so your relaxed and comfortable. Amazing location as well . I would highly recommend a stay here. Thank you Yvonne

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.

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!

It’s a simple 1960s or 70s flatblock. But Jack has set it up really well. Light, clean, feels really good. Nice little things like coffee machine and nice toiletries. Close to the action. Good place to stay.

This property was stunning. The view was breathtaking. The host was lovely and left beautiful treats like chocolate, fruits and wine. The bathroom supplies were also above and beyond. Everything you could need if you forgot to bring toiletries. Will definitely be back.
