Family-friendly vacation rentals in Shell Cove

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.

We absolutely loved staying in this home! it was spacious, yet cute and cosy, beautifully decorated. 2 decent sized bathrooms with extra toilet downstairs made it great for having 4 guests. The yard was honestly the biggest stand-out for me. Absolutely luscious jungle feel garden, loads of greenery/bamboo. big outdoor dining, plus hot tub which was lots of fun. We had a great time just staying in on our first night cooking a meal and hanging out in this cute space. We have two small doggies who loved the place, great yard for dogs. Many people have commented about the wardrobe being full, but this was noted in the description and honestly didn't bother us. same goes for check out - which was definitely a lot more to do that your usual air bnb, but really wasn't a big deal to strip the bed and put a load of towels in the wash. Thank you for having us!

Gail was very informative and the stay was just as good as we expected, she also made fresh bread for us the next morning, would definitely stay again!

From the moment we arrived every detail about guest experience has been thought of. There are so many little, thoughtful details that truly make you feel so welcomed. My highlights were; meeting Greg who was putting the horses to bed and happy for us to wander up and have a chat and meet the animals. The two dogs Chum and Bundy were really friendly and up for a pat. Plus, the duck pond with the viewing platform and seat. So cute! The firepit had all the wood and was ready to go which I really regret not making the most of this. The personalised card, treats and breakfast was really sweet, and they provided tips on making the most of the claw foot bath tub. It's hard to find an AirBNB that still cares so much about guest experience. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the horses and alpacas in the paddock, and waking up in the morning with the view of the horses frolicking around. It's was an unreal experience that allowed us to unwind from our busy lives

We had two wonderful nights at Circa 1890. The house is really spacious, and has a lovely verandah and private courtyard, which would be awesome on a warm night. Off-street parking, which is a bonus in Berry on the weekend. Just far enough away from the heart of town to be peaceful but also an easy couple of minutes stroll to the pubs and cafes. We travelled with our dog, and she enjoyed exploring the beautiful garden and relaxing on the verandah.

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.

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!

Our stay was wonderful, this beautiful home has everything you need and so roomy especially the front deck and it’s so close to the beach. We would highly recommend this place and we would definitely stay again. Thanks and Best Regards, Ray Gardiner

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.

Great place, one minute walk from the beach. Well equipped, great outdoor deck and bbq area, plus secure fenced yard. Would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay at Bowral. The accomodation was perfect for a big extended family attending a nearby family wedding.

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 ❤️ 🐾

It was lovely to stay on Margot’s farm, we also got to feed the sheep which was an absolute bonus! Highly recommend for anyone wanting a private stay close to everyone to explore in the Southern Highlands.

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.

Friendly host offering honest and clear communication. Location was superb with ready access to the beach and surrounds. Would definitely recommend.

We loved our stay at Allambie Gums. It was such a peaceful and relaxing location, which allowed us to unwind amongst nature. The grounds are beautiful to walk around, and the town is just a short walk down the road. Cheryl was so accommodating with us, and we hope to stay here again some day soon :)

The kitchen and lounge room were spacious, the carpets looked new. The bed was comfy, aircon and shower all worked well. I cannot fault anything about the place!

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.

A wonderful stay! The property is well equipped and met our expectations. A beautiful setting and outlook greets you each day, even if pouring down with rain. Plenty of Kangaroos to spot without trying! Eva made the whole process effortless. We appreciated the time taken to communicate and provide instruction prior to and during our stay. Thank you for having us!
