Hi I'm your Local Host Martin
I manage properties across the Illawarra region with Hometime. This part of NSW is genuinely beautiful; dramatic coastline, great beaches and the kind of laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to switch off.

I manage Illawarra properties for Hometime, with a focus on presenting the region well through high quality homes and attentive hosting.

Proactive property care

Frequent updates
You'll always know what's happening at your property, without having to chase up to get things done. If something needs your attention, you'll hear about it directly.
Timely guest communication
Guests are looked after from the moment they book through to check-out. Communication scores sit 10% above Airbnb's benchmark on average, so you can trust they're in good hands.
My local picks
A few of my favourite spots near the properties.

Head to North Beach
Nothing tops it. It's a beautiful beach with plenty of local cafes to enjoy the scenery and enjoy a day out.

Shellharbour Village
Shellharbour Village offers oceanfront cafés, award-winning restaurants, and boutique shops. Nearby, Shellharbour Marina provides 270 berths and waterfront dining.

Spend the day on the coast: Blue Mile, Sea Cliff Bridge and Shellharbour
The Blue Mile in North Wollongong is a great place to start; a scenic coastal path with coffee stops along the way and the lighthouse at the northern end. From there, the Grand Pacific Drive south takes you to Sea Cliff Bridge, one of the most striking stretches of road on the NSW coast, worth stopping to walk for the views alone. Continue a little further, and Shellharbour Village is a good spot to finish the day, with waterfront cafes, restaurants and a marina worth wandering around.
