Coledale is a charming beachside village north of Wollongong. Fifty years ago, Coledale was one of the many coastal coal mining villages which lay to the north of Wollongong. With the decline of coal in the area and the arrival of regular electric train service to Sydney it quickly acquired a certain chic charm. Commuters decided it was within their price range and still close enough to Sydney. Today it is one of the most popular beaches north of Thirroul. Holidaymakers come for extended breaks and summer weekends. The seductive combination of a sandy 250-metre beach nestled between rocky headlands, rock platforms pockmarked with rock pools alive with sea creatures, two ocean pools (one for toddlers), comprehensive amenities, a beach edged by grass which is ideal for picnicking, a backdrop of 45-year-old Norfolk pines and cafes serving decent coffee, gelatos and inner-city cuisine demonstrates that its popularity is justified.

Location
Coledale is a beachside town/suburb north of Wollongong. It is 15 km north of Wollongong and
73 km from Sydney via the Bulli Pass. A more scenic, but slower, route down the coast via Stanwell
Park is 70 km.

Drift at Coledale

We had a perfect stay at Drift. Plenty of space for the whole family. It was a beautiful location with a perfect view of the ocean. The huge outside verandah was a so good fit all the family. It was a very short 2 min stroll to the beach and just 5 mins to the excellent local cafes.

Weekend in Coledale

We had an excellent stay at Drift! The property is beautiful, our gracious host made everything easy, and even left a bottle of bubbly for us to enjoy. Not to mention that it's right across the road from the beach. Thanks for having us, would definitely stay again!

Mums & kids getaway

Excellent location overlooking the ocean. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t kind to us & it rained all weekend but it was the perfect house to relax infront of the fire, be together in the open plan dining/lounge playing games & reading. The surround sound system is perfect for movie night & the lounges super comfortable. Quality furniture & fittings made the stay really enjoyable. Thank you for a great get away!
