Getting here
Up the coast.
- By car: the Princes Motorway runs north from Kiama to Port Kembla in about half an hour. From Nowra, allow about an hour and a quarter; from Ulladulla and Milton, around two hours.
- By train: South Coast Line trains run between Kiama and Wollongong, and a connecting service runs from Bomaderry (Nowra) to Kiama. Check the Transport for NSW Trip Planner, as the Port Kembla branch needs a change.

Planning your day
Home the same night.
From Kiama and Gerringong, a session is an easy day trip. From Nowra and further south, it’s still very doable in a day, but an early start helps. If you’re coming from Ulladulla or beyond for a large piece, think about staying a night nearby. See where to stay.
Coastal pieces
Made for this coastline.
Lighthouses, headlands, swell, palms and deep water are the backbone of Dylan’s portfolio, and South Coast clients often come with a place in mind: a beach, a break or a stretch of coast that means something to them. Bring photos of the real place, and Dylan will design around them.
Private studio
By appointment only.
Atlantis is private and appointment-only, with no walk-ins. Everyone books through the waitlist and an application, wherever they’re coming from.
