From Helensburgh in the North to Kiama, Gerringong and Gerroa in the south there are festivals and events to provide enjoyment and entertainment for all the family. The Illawarra area is bursting with colour, energy and excitement. Visitors from far and wide enjoy all the fascinating variety of culture, activities and entertainment.

Bush walking, abseiling, hang gliding or para-sailing, a flight in an ultra light - just to mention a few activities. Enjoy a relaxing day at the beach, go shopping or to an art gallery or museum or spend time at one of the local clubs.

There are townships hidden away and off the beaten track. These townships, some big, some small, are filled with treasures that are waiting to be discovered by art, crafts and antique lovers alike.

Beautiful pottery, prints, paintings, cottage crafts, Australian federation furniture, antiques, collectables, even fairies and magical things, fantasy characters and cuddly teddy bears all await the lucky few who take the time to discover what is hiding away from the crowds and highways.

Take a relaxed drive along the coast, enjoy the magnificent scenery and interesting places to stop on your way and prepare to hunt down a treasure or two. Why not make a reservation from a vast selection of accommodation and stay for a few days or more and really relax, unwind and enjoy.
