There’s no place quite like Wollongong, with an escape-worthy collection of world-class beaches, playful adventures, eats, arts and iconic attractions just 80km from Sydney. There is something for everyone! From beach to bush, indoors and out, thrilling or chilling. Wollongong boasts countless cafes and coffee spots, starting your morning with liquid gold and a smile. By night, enjoy chic restaurants & bars (many with a stunning outlook on the ocean). Check out the café & restaurant scene here.
Outdoors where you like to be? Make sure to check out stunning lookouts, pristine waterfalls, or hiking along scenic bush tracks. If you cling to the coast, there are 17 patrolled beaches and an abundance of rock pools to choose from. See the full guide to Wollongong’s Outdoors here.
What's a good holiday without a spot of retail therapy? To satisfy your inner shopaholic (even for those who simply love a browse), look no further than Crown Street Mall. Located in the heart of Wollongong's CBD, find David Jones, TK-Maxx, H&M, Lorna Jane and countless more! Or if chic homeware & boutique-style strips are more your scene, take a scenic 20-minute drive to Wollongong's Northern Suburbs and stroll through Thirroul to your heart's content.
Wollongong is also rightly regarded among the best family holiday destinations in Australia. Fun family activities include hanging out with cute creatures at Symbio Wildlife Park, horse riding on the escarpment, enjoying the thrills and spills of Jamberoo Action Park, Treetops Adventures and zip-lining adventures. There are wet weather options too, from indoor rock climbing, to visiting the Early Start Discovery Space, Science Centre or the incredible Nan Tien Temple, the largest Buddhist Temples in the southern hemisphere (with amazing vegetarian dumplings too!)
