Reviews of Bellambi, NSW

19th June 2025

"Bellambi is a welcoming coastal suburb"

Bellambi is a welcoming coastal suburb in the northern reaches of Wollongong, NSW, located just 4.56 km from the city centre and a comfortable 63.81 km ride by car from Sydney. With its gentle ocean park, relaxed residential streets, and strong community spirit, it offers the best of coastal living alongside urban convenience. Families and professionals are well catered for Bellambi Public School is nestled within the suburb and older students typically attend nearby Illawarra schools. Parks and open recreational spaces are never far away, with the Beach Park Reserve a favourite for weekend picnics, leisurely strolls or watching surfers catch waves. For those who enjoy being active, the scenic coastal pathways are perfect for walking, cycling or simply soaking in fresh sea air. The local dining scene is small yet charming, anchored by laid-back cafes and cosy spots for a bite just steps from the sand, while more extensive shopping and dining options await in nearby Corrimal and Wollongong. With its relaxed beachfront lifestyle, solid amenities, and easy access to larger centres, Bellambi stands out as a peaceful yet connected coastal haven within the Illawarra region.

"Quiet coastal living"

The most underrated and under-valued coastal suburb from Wollongong to Newcastle. It's unbelievable that anyone can purchase a home in such a wonderful city, close to beaches for $400k. It takes the same amount of time to travel from here to Sydney as it would living in Western Syd.

Great for

  • Beaches
  • Close to Wollongong city
  • Pubs and Clubs
