Wollongong is a breathtaking Australian city and a top tourist destination. It is home to stunning beaches and reserves that seem like a slice of heaven on Earth, such as Wattamolla Beach, Garie Beach, and Killalea Reserve.

6. The Cubby House, Thirroul
There is a lot to love about this four-person Airbnb, from its tranquil surroundings to its proximity to the beach. You will appreciate its fully furnished concept, and with a well-equipped kitchenette on site, you can save some bucks by ditching take-out food and going for home-cooked meals. Laundry facilities, WiFi, and a TV are available, as well.
With a loft-style sleeping setting, this accommodation is not recommended for families with kids under six. Pets, on the other hand, are welcome but should not be left unsupervised. They have the yard as their play area, but dogs are required to be leashed when outside.
