Home / New South Wales / Illawarra
The Illawarra region beautifully balances buzzing urban energy with endless coastal, laid back charm.
Wollongong is bustling with its city skyline, beaches, street art and cafe culture. The city’s arts precinct hums with live music, laneway bars and vibrant festivals, while the University and Innovation Campus keep ideas (and careers) on the rise.
Follow Grand Pacific Drive across the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge to charming northern villages which are perfect for whale watching, cliff‑top hang glides and escarpment hikes. Further south, Shellharbour serves up waterfront dining, marina markets and family‑friendly beaches, while Lake Illawarra invites kayakers and kite‑surfers to chase the wind.
Down the coast, Kiama steals the show with its famous Blowhole, coastal walks and regular seaside markets. Inland, Minnamurra Rainforest is perfect for rainforest adventures and stunning views, and when temperatures climb, we all head to Jamberoo Action Park for some water‑slide thrills and action.
Beyond adventurous days and foodie nights, the Illawarra’s tight‑knit communities, great schools and slick rail links to Sydney make relocating here an easy choice.
