Illawarra

The Illawarra region is conveniently located 1 hour drive south of Sydney and offers the best of everything. With landscapes, pristine beaches, scenic drives and towns full of character. These are just the start of what the region has to offer.

Overlook Illawarra from the spectacular lookouts at the top of the Eastern Escarpment as you approach Wollongong, driving south from Sydney. It is the combination of mountain and beach that gives the whole south coast region its special appeal where the escarpment actually meets the sea. The main towns of the area are located along the coastline starting in the north at Stanwell Park to Wollongong, through the towns of Shellharbour, Kiama and Gerringong to Gerroa in the south.

The fabulous beaches and the more upmarket accommodation and services available from the larger population centres in the Illawarra offer a mixture of comfort and typical Australian summer pursuits to make your visit a memorable one.
