From glamping getaways to hotels with all the mod cons and cute-as-a-button cabins, here are some of the best Wollongong accommodation options.<\/h5>\n

Whether you\u2019re an outdoorsy family, a couple looking for a romantic weekend away or an adventurous type who likes to fly solo and get away from it all, we\u2019ve got you sorted with some of the coolest places to stay on the South Coast.<\/a> And the best thing about our list of the best places to stay in Wollongong<\/a> and surrounds is that it ranges from campgrounds to hotel suites and beach houses with wrap-around views. Take your pick from the following.<\/p>\n

Hotels<\/h2>\n

Novotel Wollongong Northbeach<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking for some romance in the Gong, book a long weekend at the Novotel Wollongong Northbeach<\/a><\/u>. Dive headfirst into all the recently refurbished hotel has to offer: dinner at Palisade Kitchen and Bar and drinks at the North Bar, which looks like something out of an Entourage<\/em> scene. Best of all, doe-eyed duos don\u2019t need to leave the pool in order to order a cocktail at the spiffy Adrift Pool Bar.<\/p>\n

Sage Hotel<\/h3>\n

Families with little ones will appreciate the fact the Sage Hotel<\/a><\/u> has an activities room with old-school video games, table tennis and Giant Jenga. The hotel, which is within walking distance of Wollongong CBD and City Beach, feels as if it could double as a lighthouse, with its glass-fronted floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the Illawarra coastline. Parents will also appreciate the pool bar, which features Friday night movies.<\/p>\n

Headlands Austinmer Beach<\/h3>\n

The new Headlands Austinmer Beach<\/a><\/u> wraps around the Austinmer headland and it\u2019s those sea views that guests are here for. The stylish ocean-view apartments, which are proving popular for weddings and luxury escapes, look out over the Illawarra and the beauty of the location is that you can stay glued to a sun-lounger by the hotel pool, one of the coolest on offer on the coast, have dinner at the pub downstairs and then hang happily on your hotel balcony.<\/p>\n

Argo Apartments<\/h3>\n

The paint is only just dry at Argo Apartments<\/a><\/u> located in the heart of the Wollongong CBD. Many of the new apartments, which accommodate small pets, offer views over the ocean and iconic Illawarra Escarpment. The rooms have stuck to a mainly minimalist palette of whites and charcoals enhanced by the warm glow of copper tones, which are a lustrous feature of the lobby. Enjoy glittering city views from the balcony at night as the Gong is lit up like a circuit board.<\/p>\n

Ocean Blue Bed & Breakfast<\/h3>\n

Surprise your squeeze with a thrilling tandem hang-gliding adventure followed by a stay at Ocean Blue Bed & Breakfast<\/a><\/u>, which is a multi-level home comprising the Beachcomber Spa Suite on the upper level, the Ocean Blue garden wing with a west-facing deck, and the Sandpiper Spa Suite on the ground level.

Easton\u2019s Escape<\/h3>\n

Easton\u2019s Escape<\/a><\/u> is a well-designed light-filled apartment that has room for up to six guests, and enough room for everyone to spread out in the communal living-dining area and sunny balcony. While there\u2019s plenty of reasons to just kick back and relax in the apartment, when you do leave, you\u2019re just a few blocks back from the beaches in North Wollongong and some of our favourite places to eat in Wollongong<\/a><\/u>. Perfect for families.<\/p>\n

The Bower<\/h3>\n

The Bower<\/a><\/u> is not on the coast. But the Mt Kembla home deserves special mention in our guide to Wollongong accommodation as it\u2019s a quiet oasis away from the bustle of the city and the perfect base from which to lace up your boots and hit some trails. Fans of Mid-Century design will love the Mid Century lines of this architecturally designed home, while families will appreciate making memories around the fire pit under the stars.<\/p>\n

Camping<\/h2>\n

Coledale Camping Reserve<\/h3>\n

The Coledale Camping Reserve<\/a><\/u> is a small grassy campground just metres away from Coledale Beach. The campground has a really cool communal vibe and is filled with shaggy haired surfers living their best #vanlife and families with little ones who aren\u2019t up for anything too intrepid. Swim, fish, surf, dive and play French cricket and then head to Sharky\u2019s across the road for fish and chips.<\/p>\n

Corrimal Beach Tourist Park<\/h3>\n

Corrimal Beach Tourist Park<\/a><\/u> is a go-to for a night or two spent under canvas when visiting the Gong as it offers the simplest of joys \u2013 proximity to 1.4-kilometre stretch of sand beach views \u2013 all within nine minutes of Wollongong\u2019s CBD.\u00a0 The park backs onto sand dunes and native grasses that whisker the coastline and is near to Towradgi Creek, which is a top spot to catch dusky flathead.<\/p>\n

Windang Beach Tourist Park<\/h3>\n

Windang Beach Tourist Park<\/a><\/u> is sandwiched between Lake Illawarra and Windang Beach Tourist Park and it\u2019s a choose-your-own-adventure vibe with cabins, and powered campsites that cater to tents and caravans. The location \u2013 smack-bang on Windang Beach \u2013 is perfect for immersing yourself in the Wollongong lifestyle. Families should pitch their tent as near to the children\u2019s playground as possible.<\/p>\n

Reflections Holiday Park in Killalea Reserve<\/h3>\n

Reflections Holiday Park in Killalea Reserve<\/a><\/u> is popular with large family groups who book out the backpacker-style accommodation for special occasions. In addition to the 40-bed bunkhouse, the holiday park has large, unpowered camping sites that are popular with the grizzled surfer brigade. Thanks to the park\u2019s reserve status, the campsite is surrounded by rolling hills and near to famed surf breaks, The Farm and Mystic\u2019s.<\/p>\n
