The Best Self-Contained NSW South Coast Accommodation

One of the toughest parts of planning a trip is finding the right accommodation to meet your needs. There are so many choices out there, weeding through them all to find the very best can be a lengthy task. However, if self-contained is the type of accommodation you are after and you’ll be visiting the NSW South Coast, then we have you covered. Here are our picks for the best self-contained NSW South Coast accommodation to help you narrow the choices.

Self-contained accommodation is an excellent option for those who want to save a bit of money by cooking a few meals. It’s great for couples, families and groups travelling together.

Expect to have at least a small kitchenette with microwave, fridge, toaster and kettle, however most will have a cooktop and some an oven as well. Pots, pans and utensils should also be available. You’ll also have access to laundry facilities, whether it be in your apartment/cabin or on the property. This is good for longer stays, allowing you to pack just the essentials and wash as needed.

We’ve selected six of the most popular regions on the NSW South Coast and have given you two self-contained properties to choose from. Most of the details you’ll need about each property are below. However if you want to know more, just click the booking link to read more, see more photos and of course make a booking if you decide it’s the right property for you.

  1. These all look gorgeous. Especially with the sunshine and the glasses of wine on the table! I’d love to go back to NSW and see more of the state than just Sydney. I loved spending time in the city, and heading up to the Blue Mountains (despite the fog that stopped me from actually seeing any of it), but so often it’s when you get out into the countryside that you really get a feel for the place. So thanks for this – would love to check these places out. 🙂

    • Thanks Katie. I agree. I love cities but if this trip has taught me one thing, it’s that you learn more about a place but getting out into the countryside at bit.
