Where to Stay in New South Wales – Illawarra

The Illawarra region offers diverse accommodation from Wollongong's city hotels to charming coastal B&Bs and Jervis Bay's eco-friendly retreats. Wollongong, as the regional center, offers the widest selection of hotels, apartments, and motels, with good access to the Five Islands dive sites and regional amenities. Shellharbour and Kiama provide more intimate coastal accommodation with holiday apartments, B&Bs, and holiday parks in beautiful seaside settings. The Jervis Bay area, centered on Huskisson and Vincentia, offers holiday houses, eco-retreats, and caravan parks in one of Australia's most beautiful natural settings. The range of accommodation ensures options for all budgets, from budget-friendly holiday parks to luxury waterfront apartments. The compact nature of the Illawarra coastline means that no matter where you stay, the dive sites are within easy reach, and the region's growing tourism infrastructure ensures comfortable stays year-round.
