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!

Mould / Safety issues
I was very unimpressed with the property and the service by the host. ˇhe property was beautiful at first look, however, there were three major safety hazards at the property - the upstairs bathroom door did not open from the inside - causing guests to become stuck, and also meant for the large group, no one could shower or use the toilet/shower/bathroom in privacy. - there were exposed nails / staples in the downstairs bedroom - in the doorway and main walkway - there was significant mould in the downstairs bedroom, covering the blinds - this caused immediate allergic reactions for several guests. There were also other problems with the property, including a bedroom light not working, and the upstairs balcony floor being significantly dirty. The soles of all the guests feet were constantly dirty, when walking around only within the house and on the upstairs balcony. This is even after I machine washed the mop sponge (as it was also very dirty), and then mopped the balcony myself. The couch was stained and torn in places. The lack of cleanliness would have been manageable without the safety issues. I notified the hosts immediately to rectify these issues for this stay, however nothing was done. The hosts were not helpful with rectifying these issues. I would not stay here again, and would not book through Getawayz. Such a shame because the property was beautiful and has such potential
