Places to Visit with your Car Hire Sydney Airport to Wollongong

A leisurely drive 80km south of Sydney will take you to a spectacular collection world-class beaches, exciting adventures, unique attractions and hidden gems that make up Wollongong. To help you plan your itinerary, we’ve curated a couple of recommendations on how to make the most out of your stay in the region and make new memories with friends or family.

Austinmer, a popular summer beach resort located at the foot of the Illawarra escarpment, is frequently crowded with swimmers and sunbathers on weekends.

The suburb of Austinmer is an excellent place for a day trip from Sydney because it is close to the train station and the ocean. You can alternatively take a picturesque route from Sydney along the Grand Pacific Drive, which will take you right to Austinmer.

Visit the Headlands Hotel Austinmer around the point for a delicious meal and a breathtaking view, or stay in one of their gorgeous one or two-bedroom apartments to make a trip out of it.

Located at the southernmost point of a two-kilometre stretch of sand, Bellambi Beach is bordered by a reserve and offers views of distant mountains. With a boat ramp and a small harbour close by, the beach is very well-liked for fishing. It may be reached through the Wollongong shared cycleway.

Seven kilometres to the north of Wollongong’s CBD is where you’ll find Bellambi. With a rock pool on the southern rocks, Bellambi Beach continues south to the stream mouth and point.

At some periods, Bellambi Beach is a dog-friendly location. Depending on the season, there is a time-sharing zone where dogs are allowed on the beach at specific times.

Bass Point Reserve, a 72-hectare coastal gem south of Shellharbour Village, is home to one of the Illawarra’s remaining littoral rainforest sections.

The reserve is designated on the Australian Heritage Commission register for both its Aboriginal and European Values and is acknowledged as one of the most significant archaeological sites on the NSW coast.

The rich marine ecosystem at Bass Point, a well-liked destination for scuba diving and snorkelling at Bushranger’s Bay, a protected aquatic reserve, is what makes it a popular recreational reserve today.

The cars are clean, have been good quality and always been very good value. Quick and easy pick up and drop off. The shuttle to and from the airport goes often and the drivers are very helpful with the bags. This is our go to car rental whenever we visit Queensland.

Generally very good. Car had a lot of miles on it but ran smoothly. I managed to turn off the annoying jingles and horrible LDWS. Auto handbrake was very good, as was the Android Auto. Fuel economy (petrol - 37mpg) was well down on my UK diesel (always over 50mpg) but the costs are about half UK prices.

Very reasonable rental prices, easy transfer with airport shuttle. Some damage to the car when we collected it so make sure you take plenty of photos before you leave the pick up depot.

Everything was straight forward and smooth. The shuttle pick-up from Brisbane airport was a breeze, David our shuttle chauffeur was warm, friendly and super helpful. I booked last minute but the guys at the counter were proactive and helpful to find what we needed - they were mindful with our budgets and needs. I highly recommend them, will definitely use them again whenever I’m back in town.
