Family-friendly vacation rentals in Shellharbour

Nina’s house was everything she described in the booking. It was a beautiful, cozy space with a large kitchen, comfy beds and linen and such a peaceful place out the back with the hot tub, beautiful greenery and fire pit. Whilst we only stayed for 2 nights and just over a day, it was the perfect place to unwind, connect with family and make special memories.

Gail was a wonderful host and her place the perfect sanctuary for our little retreat in Stanwell Park. Gail provided so many thoughtful details to make our stay comfortable and memorable including the freshly baked bread in the mornings. Thanks Gail.

We had an amazing stay at Bundarra Farm! Rayma went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. She even took us on a buggy ride through the paddocks, which was a fantastic way to take in the stunning scenery. The animals were a highlight of our trip! From the friendly dogs, horses, and llamas, to the cows, calves, bull, roos, and a variety of birds, it was a true animal lover's paradise. My 2-year-old had an absolute ball with all the animals! The Kingfisher Pavilion Suite had everything we could possibly need and more. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, and I highly recommend Bundarra Farm to anyone looking for a peaceful and unique getaway. Would definitely love to return!

What a beautiful place to stay. Short walk to main street with restaurants, coffee etc. The house itself was gorgeous. Well equipped kitchen. We made good use of the hot tub and log fire. And spacious. New bathrooms and big bedrooms. Very nice outside area with bbq. And the gardens are amazing. Would highly recommend.

Allison is a fantastic host. She gave us options for early check in and late check out without asking. She followed up to ensure we reached the property safely and were able to get in without any issues.she had great recommendations for local cafes, restaurants and beaches The property was perfect for our family of 4. Walking distance to local beaches, cafes and restaurants . Perfectly located to drive to other popular beaches . P.S- Our kids loved the book collection!! Would stay here again !

This cottage is a dream for any couple looking to relax and spend some quality time together. Beautiful view of rolling hills from both bed and the bathtub (which fits 2 people). Very comfortable and cozy! Small kitchenette with enough space to make some simple meals and also very close to Jamberoo town and Kiama if you prefer to eat out. Great location, great price, we had a fantastic weekend.

Such a nice little cottage tucked away in lovely nature. Truly a great place to stay if you’re looking for a reset or recharge.

Our farm stay was perfect from start to finish! The cottage was exactly as pictured—clean, stylish, and cozy with a modern farmhouse-coastal vibe. Check-in was easy, and parking was plentiful. Our host was friendly and responsive, even arranging a fun feeding the farm animals—which our daughter loved. That evening, we relaxed in the pre-heated hot tub watching the sunset over the mountains, enjoying a surprise bottle of wine left for us—especially appreciated since it was Good Friday and shops were closed. We slept well, and all the amenities were high quality. The next morning, fresh-baked bread on the deck was so thoughtful. Though peaceful and secluded, the property was just minutes from town and Kiama. We also visited Jervis Bay and Jamberoo Action Park. An unforgettable Easter getaway—everything exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to return!

We traveled as two families with children under the age of 11. A total of 5 children and 4 adults. The space was absolutely perfect for all of us, there was plenty of communal space where we could come together, as well as space for the kids to escape to. The place is well equipped with board games, cards, good old fashioned dvds, and everything you could possibly need to cook and eat together. The balcony space was especially great! We really appreciated the tranquility of the location and the fact that everything had been thought of. Will most definitely return!

Loved the cottage, it was super homely and cosy. We had a fantastic weekend here. The backyard is especially lovely! We wished we got to enjoy it more but it rained the whole weekend we stayed. We would definitely stay here again!

Cosy place. Kerri and Alan were very thoughtful, and made sure that every aspect of the stay was looked after, having provided umbrellas, amenities for the puppy (including some biscuits), a kitchenette packed with everything, and made great local recommendations.

A perfect stay for our family event at the Burrawang pub - easy walking distance. Lovely birdsong in the mornings, and the house had everything we needed.

Lovely stay, clean and a beautiful home. Walking distance to the beach, we look forward to staying again soon. Luscombe Family

Place was delightfully situated in quiet garden suburb, a short walk from the nearby nature reserve in one direction and the Scottish Arms local hostelrie for dinner and or a drink in the other. With 5 bedrooms, a couple of living areas and a well appointed kitchen the house easily accommodates quite a few people.

We had the best weekend at Wombiombi Cottage! The cottage is immaculately clean and so peaceful. We loved sitting on the verandah listening to the birds, with a glass of wine and watching our dog run around the back paddock and enjoy the space. Fran was so friendly and responsive, and welcomed us with homemade cupcakes. We also had one of Fran’s home made dinners which was delicious. The location is fantastic, secluded yet just a 10 min drive to Bowral and Berrima. We already can’t wait to go back, our new favourite place! Thank you for a great weekend Fran! Marissa, Niel and Pinot ❤️ 🐾

Our stay at Camilla’s was wonderful. The house itself is delightful with sublime surroundings and elegant interiors. The moment we saw the house and drove into the grounds, via an entry flanked by towering bunya trees, we knew we were somewhere special. Beautiful touches are everywhere - fresh flowers, fine bed linens and generous breakfast provisions including eggs and fresh bread. The highlight - sitting on the verandah, morning coffee in hand, enjoying the peacefulness. We truly hated to leave and hope to return soon for a longer stay.

The treehouse was beautiful, grounding and relaxing, we booked early week and most restaurants aren’t open until late week which wasn’t an issue with all the local produce available to cook within the home. All the local shops had lots to offer . Very beautiful home to unwind in ♥️

This house is absolutely stunning, you will not want to leave. The view is spectacular, the inside was cosy and spacious, it looked like it was straight out of a magazine and perfect for a weekend to hang with friends. We will be back because we loved it so much! Thanks for being great hosts! We were lucky enough to get an early check-in and late check-out, which we appreciated greatly!

We had a fantastic stay at Pia's place. The studio is secluded, private, quiet. It's the perfect size for two people. The pool is great, it's a few steps outside and one can have a cool morning dip. Pia is really friendly. Daisy, the dog, loves a pet. The location is excellent, it's a short walk to the centre of the town (our favourite was Bud's Tavern, with its excellent moules frites and decent beers), or a short drive to the breweries (excellent meals and beers). Don't miss the Maritime Museum. We'll definitely choose Pia's place agin when we come back to the area.

We had a fantastic weekend staying at Carmen’s house. The house was light and airy and we felt at home straight away. Carmen was great in the run up to the trip, always friendly and helpful with her communication. Culburra beach is only a short walk from the property, with beautiful white sand and fantastic views. We would have loved to stay longer!

Lovely place, very peaceful. The pool was great as our two grandchildren visited and took full advantage of the pool. They also loved the fish pond and even saw a big water dragon, very exciting. All good highly recommended.

Justin is very friendly and helpful and goes the extra mile to make sure your stay is comfortable and check that you have everything that you need. Beautiful location and garden, close to town and easy to find.

We had the best time at Eva’s place! Eva provided helpful guides of what we could do locally - we went kayaking, to Treetops, bushwalking and enjoyed the facilities at the golf course. The location is incredible. Gorgeous views, quiet and kangaroos and kookaburras all around. The whole family loved it. Would definitely recommend - and we will be back!!

The place was clean and tidy. We did not use the kitchen, but it had enough things to make decent meals. It locates in a very quiet and safe area. Good Restaurants and cafe are 5 to 10 minutes drive. Tom and Derrian are friendly and helpful. We would stay again.
