Stanwell Tops - Bald Hill Short Term Holiday Accommodation

Yellowtail Stay

Why

Yellowtail Stay?

We have lots of birdlife in our yard but the most spectacular (and occasionally noisy), is the majestic Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus funereus). They are endemic but not very common.

Yellowtail Stay is located at the south end of The Royal National Park, opposite Bald Hill Lookout (hang gliding), 5 minutes from Stanwell Park Beach and a short walk to the start/finish of The Coast Track.
On the NSW, Illawarra coast, we are 60 mins south of Sydney CBD and 40 mins north of Wollongong.
The Tops Centre and wedding venues are a short drive as are breakfast/lunch/coffee cafes & restaurants such as The Scarborough Hotel.
Attached to our residence are two studio apartments and one motel style room.
The 3 rooms have separate private entrances and bathroom facilities.
It is a spectacular location & a beautiful setting with a large backyard, bbqs & fire pit.
Across the road is one of the great views in Australia.
Prices vary from the $85 to $140 per night.

Our Environment

Many Happy Guests

What a lovely space, with beautiful design touches. The location is incredible — just across the street from the ocean views at Bald Hill, with easy access to Helensburg and surrounds. I was traveling alone and it had everything I needed to cook a couple of my meals, including a BBQ. The bed was super comfortable and I liked having a little writing desk. Thumbs up.

Our stay with Kathryn and Carl was lovely and peaceful. We had our 4 year old and 8 month old, Kathryn and Carl accommodated all our needs. The space has been well curated with lovely decor, magazines, books, DVDs and kids DVDs which our daughter loved. Highly recommend staying with Kathryn and we’ll be back.

Wonderful place to stay and explore rainforests and the exciting coastline. This venue is a perfect spot to return to and relax with lovely natural forestoutlook and kookaburras outside the window. Lots of extras to make you feel really welcome and a great selection of movies for rainy moments. Thank you

We have a wonderful stay in Kathryn’s place - a beautiful location with kookaburras and bush right outside your window. We would most definitely visit again if we were in the area.

Just perfect for what we needed as we went down for a wedding. Room had everything needed in the kitchenette. Very close to lookout at Bald hill! Kathryn was responsive and accommodating as we had a baby. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed in this place for 4 nights and had a blast. Did a lot of hiking and sightseeing. So only really came back for a power nap and slept! Bed was comfy and shower had super hot water! the dream! 10/10
