Otford Valley Bed & Breakfast is just minutes from many regional attractions, including the famous Bald Hill Stanwell Park lookout, where you can enjoy the stunning Northern Illawarra coastline, watch paragliders and hang gliders, and observe whale migrations at certain times of the year.
Close to many beautiful beaches and ocean rock pools such as Stanwell Park, Coalcliff, Wombarra, and Austinmer.
Otford is the gateway to the Royal National Park, where you can walk to the Figure 8 Pools or drive along the Grand Pacific Walk. Drive over the Sea Cliff Bridge and stop at one of the many oceanfront hotels or restaurants from Clifton to Thirroul.
Symbio Wildlife Park is also a short drive away.
The Grand Pacific Walk, a nearly 70 km coastal pathway from the Royal National Park to Lake Illawarra, follows the coastline with magnificent views of the beaches and the Pacific Ocean, making Otford Bed & Breakfast a perfect halfway point to rest in style.
Conveniently located within walking distance of Otford Railway Station.

Local shopping is just a few minutes' drive away, with Coles at Helensburgh, a local butcher, bakery, and bottle shop, as well as a service station. Wollongong is a 20-minute drive via the M1.
There are excellent restaurants and cafes in Helensburgh and Stanwell Park for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with more details available in our welcome book at the cottage.

Highly recommended!We had a fantastic stay with Jackie and Chris. They are amazing hosts and their place is easily the best holiday home we’ve ever experienced. Excellent location near the beach and Otford Station for easy train access to Sydney or Wollongong. Thank you both for your hospitality!
We stayed for 3 nights and found the words 'luxurious hideaway' to be so true. There was everything we needed (plus more) in this home away from home. It is in such an ideal setting and hosts Jackie and Chris are both such warm and friendly people. We will definitely stay with you again. Thank you.
I would recommend this to everyone, an amazing place to stay and unwind, reset and enjoy. The area, and the bungalow have amazing views. The hosts were incredible!! We’ll be back
There could be no better place to stay than this beautiful retreat at Otford. Jackie and Chris’ little cottage is nestled between rainforest, a stunning cottage garden and the pretty village of Otford. A perfect place for us to explore the rockpools of the South Coast.
The cottage is so lovely with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. It is cleverly designed and feels very spacious with its wrap around verandahs where you can sit and admire the gardens and be serenaded by the birds. The cottage feels brand new and is in spotless condition.
Jackie and Chris are generous hosts who treat you as friends. They kindly provided every kitchen supply you can imagine in addition to wine, chocolates, fruit, eggs, milk, sourdough and much, much more. They are invested in making their guests feel treasured and welcome and this flavoured our stay deliciously!
I highly recommend this stay: we had a fantastic time and although we stayed nearly 2 weeks, we didn’t want to leave!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay, the bungalow is set up perfectly for a relaxing stay with lots of thoughtful touches included. Friendly and responsive hosts who were more than willing to accommodate a very late arrival.
This Bungalow is an Oasis of the highest quality. Every facet of the accommodation is presented with love and attention to detail is very obvious. Nothing has been left out and We will certainly be back. Thanks from Greg and Robyn
The Otford Valley B&B was the perfect location from which to explore the Coastal Path that runs through the Royal National Park; and then recuperate with a dip in the sea or one of the many ocean pools that dot the coast from Otford to Wollongong. This capacious and comfortable B&B was very generously provisioned; in addition to the food and drink, our hosts ensured the unit was well stocked with all manner of spices, oils and condiments self-catering might require. When we tired of our own cooking, the hotel at Clifton provided an excellent alternative.
Thank you Jackie and Chris for your understanding when we couldn't stay with you after airports and airlines were impacted by the global computer outage on Friday 19th July'24. Excellent communications during the booking process and we appreciated your efforts to offer other dates for accommodation. Thank you for your generosity when you refunded our one night's accommodation fee. Hopefully, one day we can enjoy your hospitality! All the best.
Das Haus ist wunderschön, sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und perfekt ausgestattet. Alles ist da, auch zum Kochen. Es gibt eine Grundausstattung an Kaffee, Tee, Öl, Essig, Butter, etwa 20 Gewürze, dazu Lebensmittel für mindestens das erste Frühstück, frische Eier, Obst, Brot, Milch...Jackie und Chris sind wunderbare Gastgeber! Jackie war sehr herzlich und offen und natürlich, so dass wir schon beim ersten Kontakt das Gefühl hatten, sie schon länger zu kennen. Wir haben bedauert, dass wir nur zwei Nächte gebucht hatten. Der Royal National Park ist ganz nah und wir wollten dort an den Strand, hätten aber gerne noch mehr Zeit in der Unterkunft verbracht.
