Gateway to the Illawarra
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!

Very supportive even though we couldn't stay
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.

A few days in Otford
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.
