Hotels in Illawarra Region, Australia

Illawarra Region hugs the New South Wales coast just south of Sydney, with a mild climate that makes it a year-round getaway-summers average 26°C (79°F) and winters a comfortable 17°C (63°F). You're here for the dramatic coastline: drive the Grand Pacific Drive to see the Sea Cliff Bridge arching over the ocean, or visit Kiama's Blowhole, a natural rock formation that shoots water 30 meters high. In summer, surf the gentle waves at Wollongong City Beach; in winter, hike through the rainforest-clad Illawarra Escarpment to spot waterfalls like Maddens Falls.
