About this bed and breakfast
Southview is a boutique holiday accommodation which offers two fully self contained suites, the Seaview suite and Garden suite. We also offer our StopOver room, a room only with ensuite. All rooms are private within our family home, nestled between Sandon Point Beach and Bulli Beach, just one hour drive south of Sydney. Please note the accommodation is not the whole house. It has been rated four stars by AAA Tourism.
For a couple that want to escape then Southview is the perfect place for you to unwind and relax. Your holiday destination offers a relaxed atmosphere. It's just a 2 minute walk to Sandon Point beach and a close walk along the beach to Bulli beach.
Catch the beautiful sunrise over the ocean or perhaps a surf at Sandon Point beach which is listed as one of an Australian top surfing break. Enjoy a coastal walk or perhaps a bike ride along the beach track which goes to Wollongong and beyond. Cafes by the beach and Bulli beach pool are close by. Explore national park or local bushland, or simply chill out by our heated spa plunge pool.
Bulli is approximately an hour’s drive south of Sydney airport and is 15 minutes north of the Wollongong CBD. Originally established as a coal mining town in the 1850s, Bulli is also known as the "Black Diamond District". It is a historic part of the Northern Illawarra that enjoys pristine sunshine.

Enjoyed our stay very much, only issue was lack of nearby parking
5.0 / 5.0
Although our stay at Southview was brief, it ticked all the boxes for us; including our fur baby. Superb location just 200m from Bulli Beach and the off-leash part of Macauley’s Beach. Very comfortable and tidy with TVs in the living area and bedroom. All the little things you want in self-contained accommodation were there, as well as a Nespresso coffee machine. Neil was a great host. We look forward to booking Southview again in the future.

This is the second time we have stayed here and we absolutely love staying at this lovely place. Close to the water and some great walking paths. Very well appointed and clean place to stay and even has things that you have forgotten to pack The accomodation is excellent and the owners are lovely people. We will definitely return again to stay hopefully a little longer than the three days this time.

Brilliant location
Just a short stroll from Wollongong’s Costal Walk, we totally enjoyed exploring this area. With its fully equipped kitchen & its delightful courtyards, it was easy to self-cater or head to any of the nearby cafes, restaurants or clubs ... Great location!

Beautiful cottage
Highly recommend this gorgeous cottage, perfect location, everything catered for even down to a toothbrush which was great seeing as my hubby forgot his. Owners are great and very accommodating and the best part about this little piece of paradise is that it’s dog friendly, we brought our 3 fur babies with us and there was a nice outdoor area for them to play in as well as a grassed area.
Will be our go to place when we visit the Illawarra, highly recommend

Peaceful Paradise
Such a beautiful place! My wife and I (with our fur baby) stayed on our way through from Brisbane to Melbourne. Our stay was extremely comfortable and every thought has gone into the extras! After a very long drive, the sound and smell of the ocean when we got out of the car followed by a much needed warm shower and heavenly bed was bliss. We only wish we had stayed longer to be able to enjoy all of the facilities and surrounds. Thank you Leanne and Neil so much for having us, we highly recommend stopping by or making the trip especially to this lovely place.

Fabulous property - quiet and tranquil
We loved our stay at Southview Guest House. The linens and amenities were fantastic. Chocolates on our bed were lovely. They allowed us to bring our pet dog and the nearby beach and dog beach were spectacular to visit. The guest house is in a great location and the fresh, quiet, dark room made for a great sleep. The bathroom had an awesome shower too. Would definitely stay again.

Home Away from Home
Our recent stay in the Garden Suite was wonderful. The accommodation was beautiful and peaceful. Neil and Leanne were very helpful, without being intrusive and ensured our stay was as enjoyable as possible. The heated pool was lovely and relaxing and the
beach, cafe and park were only a short walk
away. We'll definately be staying here again.

Perfect Person and Best Friend (Dogs) stay.
Southview was the perfect venue for us and our two cocker spaniels to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. We stayed in the Garden Suite which enabled us to have the dogs inside and because of the set up of the suite gave us a great sense of seclusion and privacy. Leanne and Neil were great hosts and have done a superb job in setting up very tidy and comfortable accommodation at very reasonable rates. We have already booked for another week in September.
