Well it’s a good park but it’s is NOT maintained at all! It’s not even funny how destroyed this trail is… My friend nearly broke his ribs and arms on this because the berm was not maintained. Honestly someone go fix that thing!

A very popular addition to the biking landscape in Wollongong's northern suburbs. Only very limited street parking available. No parking in church carpark across the road unless you want your car towed.

Visiting from Brisbane. Saw this on the maps and checked it out with the kid. Track is run down. Nothing like the pictures.

Pretty good just gets boring after a while

Brilliant. More please. Well done Bulli community!

This place still has the exact same equipment and activities that were being used when I was a child more than 2 decades ago! 😣 Many of them were not working during our visit, which was unfortunate, but not the end of the world. What was important was that the little one enjoyed themselves, which they definitely did. Enormous amount of things in the gift shop, but ridiculously overpriced. $15 for a basic mug? No thanks!

It has a lot of cool gadgets for us to do hands-on experience o science theorties. They have different exhibitions inside too, for that we need to take separate tickets and they are much focused on school children.

The museum is amazing and my 4 year old loved it. Wish it was open more hours outside of school holidays for us to visit. The range of things inside to play with was fantastic. They do need help from a parent to read most of the instructions though otherwise they just hit buttons and move on. There was also free play options and badge making which was really cool. And the planetarium show was really good and only $4 each which is very reasonable. Parking was also free. The one thing that would've been good is more science shows. For example in NEMO in Amsterdam they do a "chain reaction" show which includes kids and ends with a rocket being shot up high. There are endless possibilities for interactive science shows that would be fun to include in this space and would make each visit more unique. Definitely take your own food. The biggest downside was the small kiosk cafe didn't open until almost 12:30pm which meant the only food in the venue was vending machines full of junk food or a 5 minute walk down the road to a nearby cafe. Most kids I saw who hadn't brought lunch were just eating junk food from the vending machines as that's all there was. There are no good options for kids with food allergies in the cafe as all equipment is shared and vending machines also serve snacks with peanuts and other nuts as well. The positive is food isn't supposed to be consumed inside so it's only outdoors where they eat. The food at the cafe was ok for a convenient snack for people without allergies but the hours still not ideal. There is limited play equipment outside so the problem was our kids just wanted to run back inside after eating which makes it hard for parents to sit and eat. The most exciting thing outside for kids is the vending machine which our kids focused on and kept begging for treats from. At the UOW discovery centre they have an outdoor play area so it's easy to stay outside as there's stuff for kids to do. I think there is a missed opportunity at this venue to have water-based science exhibits or something else which is outdoor like solar windmills for example that would have been a nice addition and would make being outside more fun.

A great interactive place to take the kids for a day out. Lots to do and see and it’s all hands on. Theres a good chance that they will unconsciously learn by exploring the different stations/exhibits which is covered in the cost of the entry fee. For an additional cost there’s also the planetarium theatre which has different shows on and also the interactive science talks in the Science theatre. A gift shop will also grab their attention on the way out. Parking is free on weekends and they’re open 10-4 every day. Over all the cost is minimal and the kids get to run amok and enjoy themselves.

Science Space at the University of Wollongong is an absolute gem for anyone curious about science and technology. From the moment you step in, the hands-on exhibits make learning fun and engaging for all ages. The DIGISTAR 6 planetarium is incredible—immersive, visually stunning, and perfect for exploring the universe. The centre also offers exciting workshops, live science shows, and the Energy Futures Zone, which is perfect for learning about sustainable energy in a fun way. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, making every visit smooth and enjoyable. Whether you’re visiting with kids, friends, or even on your own, Science Space provides an educational, entertaining, and inspiring experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore science in a creative and interactive way!

Bit of a poor man's Questacon, but enjoyable for adults as much as the kids. The equipment is old and dusty and not very inviting to touch, particularly because we only saw one anti bacterial dispenser in the whole centre. Some general maintenance to stations wouldn't hurt as everything looks old and tired. The information sheets on each station were very heavy on writing, which isnt ideal for kids and printed in small text on dark background making it very hard to read (and completely useless in the low lit rooms!) It wasnt clear where the cafe was, was it onsite? We didnt bother trying to find it. Good use of "play space" for younger kids. We particularly enjoyed the magnetic tiles. More activities for toddlers would be good such as colouring or building blocks. Free carpark at weekends was a plus. Worth a stop if youre in the area, but would have been disappointed if I'd travelled from Sydney for this.

Really fun experience for my 3 year old She loved how interactive the place was. Reminds me of a tiny version of questacon

Very stunning and I really enjoy my visit. Many good restaurants and accommodations

A great spot to chill out or walk around, as many other people do. A picturesque viewpoint from all angles - taking in the ocean views at the fore or, should one turn around, the sun setting on the mountain behind. A truly magnificent space indeed.

Flagstaff Point Lighthouse, also known as Wollongong Head Lighthouse, is a scenic spot to stop while exploring Wollongong’s coastline. It offers fantastic views over the ocean and Wollongong Harbour, making it a popular place for photography and a relaxing stroll. There is plenty of free parking nearby, which makes it easy to access even with larger vehicles during the day. However, overnight parking is not allowed, so it’s best enjoyed as a short visit. For those interested in local heritage, the site also has a bit of history about the lighthouse to learn from plaques and displays. Combined with the fresh sea breeze, it’s an enjoyable and educational stop.

Stunning and breath taking views from the Wollongong Lighthouse. If you're capable, the walk from the city centre is manageable and on a picture perfect morning really invigorating. Plenty of opportunity to take some outstanding photos and learn further about the history of the area.

Có biển, chim,… không gian quá đẹp. Tháng 5/2025 trời nắng, gió lùa lành lạnh, cảm giác rất thích. The scene was breathtaking — the sea stretched endlessly under the golden sunlight, birds soared gracefully across the sky, and the entire space felt like a serene painting. In May 2025, the weather was bright and clear. A gentle breeze carried a cool touch, bringing a delightful chill that made the whole experience even more refreshing and unforgettable.

Good spot to watch sunset/sunrise in Wollongong. From beach its easier to walk and reach lighthouse. Plenty of parking available. You can park anywhere and start walking to the lighhouse.

We went there on weekday, so parking was really easy to find. Our favourite icecream van was there and we loved nice sunny weather. But it gets really windy, loved the views of open ocean and nice green grass around the area. Must visit.

What a great place! In the middle of suburbia, it still manages to stay quiet and tranquil. The nature wellness trail is a great idea. I especially loved the Sculpture In The Garden exhibition this year (2025). Thank you for allowing this in your space 😍

Easy parking and pleasant gardens. It was quiet and provided varied walking options. Personally loved sir joseph banks glass houses, a lovely hidden treasure. Lovely places to sit and reflect or eat a picnic. Flat paths are perfect for wheelchairs and prams etc. Toilets are clean.

A quiet, relaxing place for a walk or meditation. Their plant collections are massive. I especially liked the Greenhouse that houses their succulents and the tropical plants where you could feel the controlled environment for the plants. I also loved the Rose Garden

It is a wonderful, serene place to visit with your family. A lovely playground, lots of places to sit and talk, gorgeous gardens, manicured lawns and so much more.

Beautiful place to visit especially now with the rose garden in full bloom. The duck pond is amusing, and there are plenty of places to rest and absorb and regain your equilibrium 🙏

It's a huge garden and tidy. Overall the garden is outstanding, the walk path is good, the garden is clean. Maybe the minuses are in toilet comforts and some facilities are not working like the front fountain and the water inside the pool is dirty.

Beautiful. Our son had his wedding photos here and it was in full bloom. Beautifully appointed gardens and the roses were delightful.

Beautiful place for weekend camping and relaxing the dam is spectacular- unlimited parking 🅿️ and all basic necessities available but no food stalls or eateries

Very beautiful nature and very beautiful views in a quiet, peaceful and pleasant location, but unfortunately most of the places that had access to the beautiful views were closed. We went on Sunday morning and unfortunately access to many of the scenic parts was blocked.

Great old school damn bbq place. Really nice ride in aswell if your biking it

👍👍another great family day out. It's amazingly picturesque, and that's not just the access road to it 👍😅. The picnic facilities are great, so well maintained. Definitely a great family get together place . Check 1st with Water NSW to see if it's open 👍👍.

Great place for a short walk or a quiet picnic. It will be very hot in the summer so winter days more recommended. Its a bit of a drive from Sydney and thats why it doesn’t get so busy. We saw many Kangaroos on the way out of the picnic area which is always a bonus.

Just a short drive away from Sydney, good destination for a part of a day trip. Absolutely beautiful views. Has a nearby picnic area with all the amenities such as gas BBQ and toilets. Can drive up to the dam it self, so disabled access friendly as well.

Been coming to this place with family for well over 30years. All started as a young child with the oldies bringing me and my siblings here for a relaxing day trip away. Now we bring our kids here all these years later and nothing has changed. Still a great place to have a picnic and enjoy the serenity!

Visited with our photography group and were genuinely impressed. Nan Tien Temple, located in Berkeley near Wollongong, is the largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere—and you can feel the scale and serenity as soon as you step onto the grounds. Beautifully landscaped gardens, huge temple halls, an eight-storey pagoda, and sweeping views all contribute to a deeply peaceful atmosphere. Definitely set aside a few hours—there’s a lot to explore. A few tips: • No photography is allowed inside the shrines, ever. This isn’t clearly mentioned on the website, so best to know ahead. • That said, there are loads of fantastic photo opportunities outside—gardens, architecture, statues, and pagodas. It’s a dream for outdoor photography. • Shoes are allowed inside the main temple building, which is unusual compared to many other countries where it’s strictly no shoes. • Plenty of parking, and a small café on-site for snacks or tea. We’re planning to go back in spring when the gardens are in full bloom—it’ll be even more photogenic.

Amazing place to visit. Stunning buildings with ornate decoration. A lot of information about their belief, their way of life and culture. Even the vegetarian food at restaurant is so good.

"A truly peaceful and relaxing retreat, Nan Tien Temple is a must-visit. The grounds are beautifully maintained and offer a serene escape from the city hustle. I highly recommend spending time simply walking the expansive area—it's incredibly calming. Also, you absolutely must try the Tea House as well.

It’s great spot for recreational and pilgrimage. It’s so tranquil and relaxing during our visits. The staff are very friendly and helpful to answer dharma questions. The vegetarian foods are very fresh and delicious 🤤 will call again definitely!

The Fo Guang Shan Nan Tien Temple in Wollongong is one of the most breathtaking cultural and spiritual landmarks in Australia.

The air feels lighter here, and the landscape offers a natural sense of healing. Whether you’re walking past lotus ponds, sitting under trees, or admiring flower beds in bloom, the environment encourages mindfulness and rest. 🕊️ A Place for Renewal Beyond its physical beauty, Nan Tien Temple is an amazing place for healing and reflection.

nice temple to visit for a couple of hours. make sure your shoulders and knees are covered if you want to go inside the temples! long skirts, as long as ur ankles are allowed

The temple is an amazing place to visit It’s the spiritual home of much of the Buddhist community of Australia There are many temples and rooms for worship and meditation Lots of beautiful features and lovely gardens There is also a nice restaurant serving vegetarian meals in the Buddhist tradition They also offer a retreat for those who want to study the Buddhist culture

Absolutely fantastic day, whoever invented the Huts/Cabins - deserves a award.. The train ride to your destinations is also a great idea. Our three kids haven’t experienced something like this before, they want me to buy land next door and then buy a season pass.. it was a excellent day Thank you to all the employees, who were very helpful, especially the lovely lady’s who were very helpful in the surf shack

Jamberoo water park is an amazing spot on a hot day to go with friends or family- the hot day that I went was perfect because it was nice and busy, but when you get to the entrance on the slide or activity there was no people on almost all of the slides, so you can do it as many times as you want in a short time. The water park had so many different things to do including a 5 metre rock jump, mini golf, and obviously lots of rides. It only took about 3 mins to buy tickets on site and then a small walk to the first thing- everything is very accessible from anywhere in the place and it is the perfect spot if you're looking for an action packed day.

It was a truly wonderful experience. The car journey to the park, winding through the bushes and offering ocean views, was quite amazing. The water park itself met our expectations, and we had a great deal of fun. The weather was ideal, neither too hot nor too cold. There weren't many people, which allowed us to enjoy all the rides without lengthy waits. The rides were enjoyable and suitable for all ages, which meant our family could experience almost all of them together. However, we were unable to locate a changing room, which was a minor disappointment. Nevertheless, it was a pleasure to be there with the family and have such an amazing experience.

My 5 year old son and I had a great time. The staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of rides for all ages. This place is a full water theme park and we loved it. Nothing was too over priced either which is great after paying the entry fee. Lockers are conveniently located throughout the park and so are the toilets. We arrived just after 10am on a Sunday in school holidays and were in the gates within about 5 minutes

Super fun day out, not long wait times. Staff were super friendly and will definitely be going back again. Perfect storm was 10/10

Jamberoo Action Park is an incredible place for a fun-filled day with family! We visited recently, and it exceeded all our expectations. The park offers a great variety of rides and attractions for all ages, from thrilling water slides to relaxing wave pools. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were well-maintained. We spent the whole day there, from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and the kids couldn’t stop smiling—they had an absolute blast! There’s something for everyone to enjoy, and it’s the perfect way to create unforgettable memories. Highly recommend visiting Jamberoo; it’s totally worth it!

Friendly staff. Just enough rides to exhaust 3 teenagers for the day. Definitely fun for adults. What's not to like about Jamberoo? Tip: take the chair lift for the view (and for the toboggans). Oh and beat 16.24 secs on the Octo! :)

I have stayed 3 times recently in a 2 bedroom cabin. Cleaning is inconsistent The last of my 2 stays (in November and December) were in the same cabin (#10). When I left in November both managers were in the office. I advised that behind the bedside tables in the second room were lollies and food wrappers left by a previous guest. They expressed concern, apologised and promised to have the cleaners attend. When i recently stayed in December I checked behind the cupboards and the SAME refuse was there! I complained on checkout to the casual attendant and advised of my previous complaint. The management is very strict about clients leaving a place clean and tidy so it is incongruous that not only is their cleaning inconsistent but they did not follow through after receiving a complaint. A previous review complained about cockroaches. Maybe this is why. It could also attract mice. The attendant made notes in the computer and a diary and assured me that management would call me the next day. It's been 3 months and I have never been contacted. I checked out a day early. I wasn't asked if I was leaving because the service was unsatisfactory.

This is a lovely spot. Not a caravan park, but approx 22 full size cabins 1 and 2 b/r. right on the headland, 1 minute walk to Blowhole. I had a 1 b/r. It's big! Nothing like a caravan park cabin. About 1 min drive or 10 min walk to town. Cabins are big, air-conditioned, fans, with full kitchen, utensils, bedding. Stayed with a group of friends so saw a number of cabins. All are a little different. Some have dishwashers, some have bigger balconies, most have a nice view of the water. All have a barbecue on the deck. Bathrooms are modern, with spa bath. Price is competitive especially compared to a hotel room. Not serviced daily, reception is open until 4pm only. But overall, for me, it was a much better option than a studio room in a 4 star+ hotel.

Not a guest, just visiting the blowhole spot as a regular visitor. But having a flat tyre issue and the owner and his son or worker was very helpful to help us sort out the situation🥹 Im not sure if they are the owners or just a regular visitor as well but Ill leave this comments as appreciation of the help. Made our day so easy.

We had a wonderful experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and provided amazing service. They kindly offered us a late check-out on Sunday. Perfect location!

Kiama Harbour is a beautiful spot that offers both relaxation and scenic views. It's a great place for a peaceful stroll along the water or to watch the boats come and go. The surrounding area has lovely parks, cafes, and beaches, making it perfect for a day out

Absolutely loved this cabin. Had everything you need for a comfortable stay and was in a handy location with a great view. Highly recommend.

Outstanding! Been coming to Kiama for many years and have always wanted to stay here. Finally did it! You couldn't get better. Beautiful location, water views, and any easy walk to everything. The cabins are beautiful, modern, well maintained and equipped. Very clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!

We stopped here here on our way from Sydney to Canberra and the views were stunning. Plenty of parking, and easy to get to. The blow hole was really pumping with the winds and surf. If you're close by definitely try and make the stop.

This place is a hit or miss. You can either be here on a nice day and enjoy the view. Or you can be here on a day where it gets so windy, that if you open your car door it can fling open. It’s a beautiful place and the blowhole is pretty cool. You can walk further down closer to the water. Overall it’s a beautiful place. Would recommend.

This was a beautiful spot to stop and explore. We drove in from Sydney. I wish we left sooner because there was so much along the way to see, rainforest, breathtaking scenic ocean views, wildlife. While here, the kids explored around in the rocks. My dad and I took the walk from the scenic park area over to see the blow hole. I encourage you to time this right, we didn’t see the blow hole as impressive as it could have been, we didn’t see some action but not much, we went later on the day. Be sure to check the tide! Lots to do around this area, lots of shops, walking, picnic benches to enjoy a meal or snack. So beautiful

This lighthouse is a popular place for locals and tourists. No entry fees. Great views of the sea and hinterland from here. Plenty of parking with generous time limits. When we were there, we sighted several whales on their migration to Antarctica.

For anyone visiting the South Coast around Wollongong and Kiama, the Kiama Lighthouse and Blowhole are must-see attractions. The lighthouse, built in 1887, stands proudly on the headland and offers sweeping views over the coastline and town. Just beside it lies the famous Kiama Blowhole, where, on the right tide and with strong winds, the ocean swells surge through the rock cavity and shoot spectacular jets of water high into the air. On a particularly windy day, the spray can reach visitors standing on the lookout — be prepared to get a little wet!

Beautiful and peaceful spot with amazing ocean views! The lighthouse is right next to the famous blowhole, which can spray water really high when the tide is right. Great place for photos, a nice walk, and just relaxing by the sea. Easy parking and open 24 hours - perfect for sunrise or sunset visits

Kiama Lighthouse Review (Short) Kiama Lighthouse is a charming coastal landmark perched above the famous Blowhole Point in Kiama, NSW. The views of the ocean and rugged cliffs are breathtaking, especially at sunrise or sunset. It’s an easy spot to visit with good parking and nearby cafes, making it perfect for a quick stop or a peaceful walk. Although the lighthouse itself isn’t open to the public, the scenery alone makes it worth the visit. A must-see when exploring the South Coast!

Located at Wingecarribee Street, Bowral, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 This is the location for the famous Tulip Festival that is held annually in in September. Thousands of people come every year, it’s a massive draw for Bowral. It’s approximately a two hour drive from Sydney and makes for a great day. The Tulips 🌷 are always beautiful and it’s lovely to wander through the displays. There’s always some food stalls and also other stalls selling locally arts and other products. Can be a little pricey. Seating is very limited as it’s so popular and the seats can be taken very fast. Toilet 🚻 facilities are not the best, they are port-a-loo’s mainly and these get dirty very fast. There is very limited accessible toilets available. Parking 🅿️ as you imagine is extremely limited, first come, first serve basis and fills up very fast. It’s a ticketed event during the festival and probably better to buy tickets online. Adults $18.50 Youths (13-17 years) $12.50 Concession $12.50 Children (Under 12) Free It’s a great kids/family event and wheelchair 🦼 accessible. It’s wonderful to see both during the night and during the day and there’s always live performances of some type during the festival. Would definitely recommend visiting the festival at least once. Thumbs up!!! 👍👍👍

Corbett Garden is absolutely beautiful—every corner is filled with vibrant colors, perfect landscaping, and such a peaceful vibe. Everything felt well-organised, and the entry price of $18.90 is very reasonable for the experience. The only downside is that even at 10am on a weekend, the park was already very crowded, which made it hard to fully enjoy the calm atmosphere. I’d recommend visiting on a weekday if possible to avoid the rush. Overall, a wonderful place to soak in nature’s beauty—definitely worth a visit! 🌸🌼

We visited the gardens during the waning days of Tulip Time Flower Festival 2025. The mistake of visiting on a (long) weekend means there are as many people as flowers. The trick, if not in a hurry to leave Bowral, is to exit with a reenter stamp on the back of your hand, and come back later on in the afternoon. Obviously this strategy involves driving back to Sydney (assuming that's where you are from) in the dark so it's not for everyone. The other issue with visiting near end of the festival is that the tulips are no longer fresh. But they are still colourful and lovely. With a sea of them in the background, everywhere you turn to is a Kodak moment. I'll not waste my words on them. See my photos. While tulips are the stars here, the other plants and flowers also worth their own spotlight. Most of them would be permanent residemts here and some of the trees have amazing background stories. Many sculptures are also stationed around the gardens, not sure if they are all permanent installations. There are also small water features of which would be quite romantic on a quiet day. The event organisers did quite well with planning and maintenance. Well it's crowded most of the day, the flow is in a good pace. There are stalls for food, beverages and local products. Essential facilities are provided. A first aid station is manned ina quiet corner of the park. An good experience, might visit again in the future earlier in the festival when the tulips are young.

Corbett Gardens is a beautiful and peaceful park, best known for its stunning tulip displays during the Tulip Time Festival. Every year, the gardens come alive with bright colors and thousands of tulips, attracting many visitors from near and far. It’s a wonderful place to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the fresh air. The atmosphere during tulip season is festive, with live music, food stalls, and plenty of activities for families. Even outside the festival, Corbett Gardens is a relaxing spot to visit, with well-kept lawns and lovely flowers. It is definitely a must-see destination in Bowral, especially if you love nature and seasonal celebrations.”

It was a small area but the tulips were beautiful and the locals were all very nice and friendly. Local cafes were very good too but, be prepare to line up. Great shopping for vintage and antiques at Dirty Jane's.

Nice place to see beautiful flowers like Tulips and the 112 year-old giantitc Pine Cedar tree ever alive that I know. There are limited car parking though, with 1P and 2P limits, so the earlier you arrive the high chances of getting nearby spots. Also it's next to the shops Coles/Woolies - and restos - so you will never starve in case you didn't like the food being sold inside the gardens.

Pretty good place. Small but good. We went on the Tulip festival. The whole town is amazing. Ticket was $20 per adult which was a bit on the higher side, but makes sense.

Well worth the trip, more a history of Australian Cricket than I expected. Huge collection of cricket memorabilia.

Sir Don Bradman Museum. No cricket liver who visits Sydney can not afford to miss it. Though, I would recommend a better lighting's to make history more readable. I loved it.

Cricket lovers dream, amazing place to visit and the history of the game that is in the museum is incredible. My wife & myself loved visiting visiting the museum on Monday this week and would definitely recommend to anyone to visit definitely a must do! 🏏🏏

Great experience for any cricket lovers, or indeed, those interested in the cultural evolution of Australia. Really enjoyed my visit, and was pleasantly surprised that the museum covers not only the great man but the game in a wider context. As one or two other reviewers have mentioned, the exhibits are not always lit as brightly as they might be, but this is a minor quibble. Additionally the museum shop is well stocked, and there is a bargain filled bookcase of second hand cricket books for sale. The adjacent Oval and its picturesque pavilion ( and Mary Poppins statue in the grounds) are other points of interest. A very enjoyable couple of hours.

Interesting museum, supposed dedicated to international cricket, but has a strong Aussie bias. Worth a visit

Quite pricey to get in at $30 but ticket valid all day in case you want to return. Glad they had a space for women's cricket.

Neat, tidy, well kept. Didnt pay the $25 to enter actual museum as I loathe cricket!

A great antique store with plenty to explore. From antiques and vintage finds to newer items, there’s something for everyone. I did find the store a bit messy, and I wouldn’t recommend visiting on a hot summer day if you’re sensitive to the heat. On a positive note, there’s a little café inside with a lovely ambience.

So much enjoy seeing this seeing that and most cool stuff in here. If you want to buy any item, it's better to remember your zone or number code of the item before asking for help from staff cos more easy for everyone. Anyway some item you can grab and bring to cashier by yourself easy! :)

It was busy place and a lot of things to see. Vintage and antique and also unique. never boring.

It's a fun place to walk around. On at least two separate occasions I've bought a surprise item I didn't know I needed or wanted. This time it was some lovely heavy cotton European made workmen shirts. Last time it was a newspaper page from 1918 bemoaning the anarchists in the army coming home armed. LOL.

Loved Dirty Jane's - have been meaning to go there for some time (it's location is the only thing that has kept me away so far - being more of a city-dweller - though it makes sense that it's out of town given the size of the premises!). It was fabulous - seriously something for everyone and I came away with a few really great pieces (though not what I actually went to buy!). Probably spent two or three hours there (and could definitely have stayed longer, but needed to get out before I started buying things I really didn't need! :) The staff were friendly and helpful and the coffee shop was also unexpectedly good with friendly and efficient service.

A wonderful place where you can find all kinds of antiques. We can spend an hour or more browsing this place.

Paul and Jan Sutton with Harley and Sue Fraser. thursday 1pm lunch . thank you for a lovely lunch and a big thank you to Brian and Lisa whom looked after us . your very lucky to have such beautifull staff . we have been going here every year for 3 years now and your great service and food is what brings us back . we travel from Huskisson and Glenbrook to dine with you . once again thank you ....

Babe was filmed around Robertson. Fitbit’s 50th anniversary the Big Potato has been turned into a Pig 💕

It looks great now they have painted it for the 30th anniversary of the movie 🎬 Babe. I didn't know it was filmed in Robertson. I do now. Also great pies at Robertson pies to just 3 minutes up the road.

The most underrated big thing ever. Everyone should come to the big spud at least once in their lives. On par with the greats such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, The leaning tower of Pisa in Italy. Robertson has its very own gem in the big potato. Worth the drive you won’t be disappointed

I personally loved the big potato before the temporary paint job, but also loving the babe mural. Such a loved iconic feature of Robertson 🥔

The Big Potato had recently been painted pink in a good semblance of "Babe", celebrating 30 years since the movie was filmed in Robertson.

Misty morning, but the Big POTATO has had a face lift. 30 years since Babe.

After driving past this thing many times, I have finally had the honor of visiting the Big Potato. Also known as the ''Big Poo'' by less reverent people, this imposing edifice was birthed in 1979 and transcends mortal comprehension. Gone are the days when intrepid travelers could pay homage to the potato gods within. Now the shrine is sealed up. This certainly excited the archeologist within me. Who or what resides within? What treasures are hoarded behind those walls? We may never know. The Big Potato is one of 150 or so oversized shrines dotted around our country and attracts many pilgrims each year. This thing should be heritage listed. I read that the Big Potato was for sale for a mere $920,000 making it a very sound investment. I urge you all to add this to your bucket list.

Great food. Pizza and grilled chicken are excellent. Fries tastes nice just a bit salty. Last order at 14:30. Beautiful environment and they host wedding event as well. Better call in and check availability when getting in. Can see beautiful red leaves in autumn. Worth dropping by in any road trip!

When I entered Berkelouw Book Barn in Berrima for a girls big day out, I felt like I had walked into a beautiful, magical world. I didn’t know where to start first. The staff are all helpful, the coffee and tart as wonderful, the shared vegan lunch was divine near a beautiful and warm fireplace. The menu catered for all types foodies. The books! I was so delighted to see such a variety of new and old. Such variety and interesting and diverse topics. When we could drag ourselves away from the books, we moved onto the winery and had one of the wine tastings by anther fireplace. So relaxing in beautiful surroundings. Great for time out with friends or quiet solitude for yourself or for large and small functions. There are also accomodation cottages if you want to stay longer. Highly recommend!

Beautiful premises, nice selection of books. RUDE STAFF. We asked the young lady at reception for the drinks menu, they didn’t have one. So I asked her what drinks she’d have available for kids, “hot chocolates and juices”, didn’t even elaborate, didn’t have any food either. We got our drinks and our 2yo got hungry so we gave her half the croissant we had in our bag, she wasn’t even sitting, and we sat outside. Older lady came bolting towards us as she took her first bite to remind us not to eat any of our own food. Can’t help thinking it’s got something to do with us being Asian. We won’t be coming back and nor will any of our friends and family.

We had such a wonderful experience at The Book Barn during the Christmas break, and I couldn’t recommend it enough! It’s the perfect spot for brunch or lunch and is only a short drive from Sydney. On a spontaneous visit, we were lucky enough to get a table at midday, even though we didn’t have a reservation – but I’d highly recommend making one if you plan to visit. The place was almost fully booked, and we were fortunate to find a spot, and it wasn’t even a weekend – just a weekday! I ordered the fish, which was absolutely delicious, while my husband went for the crab linguine paired with the recommended wine. I opted out of the wine as I’m breastfeeding, but my husband loved it. The food was so good that I completely forgot to take any photos – a sure sign of how amazing it was! The service was impeccable, and the space was so lovely – a truly peaceful atmosphere. I enjoyed it so much that I’ve decided to celebrate my 40th birthday there in March. It’s definitely a place I’ll be returning to!

Since we were visiting from the US, my bestie in Sydney arranged an outing to Southern Highlands and made sure we stopped for lunch at her favorite place. It was a cozy cute cafe inside a bookstore and on the premise of a winery estate. We ordered the grazing board, roasted pumpkin pizza and salad. We invited our driver to join the 3 of us for lunch and glad we did since the portion was HUGE!! We were a bit skeptical initially about the wines here since we are spoilt from Napa & Sonoma in our backyard but we were pleasantly surprised after ordering a bottle of Bendooley Estate Rosé. Excellent selection of dining choice made by my friend!

We loved it, nice place to visit. Can have a wine with cheese platter, kids can have ice cream. Got bookshop, and restaurant inside with wine cellar and small shop. Certainly a recommendation to spend a few hours relaxing while drinking a rose. Price not to bad.

The book barn itself was lovely and in a beautiful location, really attentive staff, but the food let it down. We had two overcooked salmon, and my husband and I’s crab linguine had very little flavour, we were piling on salt and pepper to make it taste like something. Quite disappointing as it’s not cheap. Wine was lovely.

I'm gonna level with ya. I didn't go check out the view. It was hundreds windy. I did check out the incredible gate locking mechanism. Hooly dooly, the fabricator must have had a point to prove when he fashioned up that masterpiece!

So nice view I really enjoyed I come from qld best experience .

One of the most breathtaking views of the the southern highlands and lake Illawarra and the southern coast. Views to Kiama and beyond. Lookout for the friendly wombats at the Lookout.

Such a beautiful place with mind blowing views!!!!

Beautiful spot got to see wombats,kangaroos and different types of birds and reptiles

The drive up to the mountain via saddleback mountain rd itself offers beautiful views. I think it’s one of the best scenic drives around. Once you reach the top, you can park your car and walk up to three different viewing platforms. The western view is partially obstructed because of trees. Walk up to the northern platform and it provides stunning views. The whole south coast upto Wollongong is laid out before you including lake Illawarra. Anyone know anything about these gate locks? I’m Curious how this works.

Windy but good view not busy

Quite an isolated place to go. We did manage to get to the lookout point and saw the falls itself. There is also a trail that can take you closer. But we came a little late in the day. So we didn't walk the trail. Update: Came again and walked along the short trail. You actually see a close up view of the Falls. The road is smooth until a certain point where it becomes a dirt track barely able to fit 2 cars. You need a tougher car than just a normal sedan type car. There is only a dug out toilet so be prepared.

Although the day was a bit gray and drizzling the drive to the falls was still a pleasant one. On arrival the Falls were invisible with the mist. While we waited there was a small lightening of mist so we were able to get a glimpse of the Falls and the scale is pretty impressive. A few steps to navigate but on a clear day it would be spectacular.

Went to Belmore Boys with a few close friends and had a great time, though it started off a bit tricky—we had a hard time finding the entry point. Luckily, one of our friends had watched a video beforehand that helped us figure out where to start the hike. The hike itself is short but downhill and a bit challenging since there’s no proper trail—so wear good shoes and be cautious. That said, once you reach the bottom, the view is absolutely spectacular and totally worth the effort. We hadn’t planned for water activities, but it turned out to be a great spot to dip in and just enjoy time in nature. Highly recommend for a spontaneous adventure—just make sure to come prepared!

Simply spectacular. Please drive slowly, for the safety of the critters feeding near and crossing over the roads.

Another roaring waterfall after several days of heavy rain. Only a short walk from the parking.

Im scared of height but I enjoyed yesterday as first time I saw a falls in Australia 🇦🇺

Belmore Falls: A Nature Lover's Paradise Belmore Falls, nestled in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, offers a breathtaking escape into the heart of nature. As an avid explorer, I recently ventured to this stunning locale and was captivated by its raw beauty and tranquil ambiance. Scenic Splendor: The highlight of Belmore Falls is undoubtedly its cascading waterfalls. The sight of water plunging down a series of rocky ledges into a lush green valley below is nothing short of mesmerizing. Whether viewed from the designated lookout points or experienced up close along the walking tracks, the falls evoke a sense of awe and wonder. Tranquil Trails: Exploring Belmore Falls is made accessible through well-maintained walking trails that wind through pristine bushland. These paths offer varying degrees of difficulty, accommodating both casual strollers and avid hikers. Each turn reveals new vistas of rolling hills, dense forests, and occasional glimpses of local wildlife, creating a serene environment perfect for contemplation and photography. Accessibility and Facilities: Located a short drive from Robertson, the journey to Belmore Falls is as pleasant as the destination itself. Ample parking and well-marked paths ensure ease of access for visitors of all ages. Picnic facilities are available near the car park, inviting visitors to extend their stay and indulge in a leisurely lunch amidst the natural splendor. Local Lore: Belmore Falls also boasts a rich history and cultural significance, which adds depth to its natural appeal. Indigenous heritage sites and informative plaques along the trails provide insights into the area's past, enriching the overall experience and fostering a deeper connection with the land. Final Thoughts: In conclusion, Belmore Falls stands as a testament to the beauty and serenity of Australia's natural landscapes. Whether you're a local seeking a peaceful retreat or a traveler in search of natural wonders, this hidden gem offers a perfect blend of scenic beauty, recreational opportunities, and cultural heritage. A visit to Belmore Falls promises an unforgettable experience that rejuvenates the spirit and leaves a lasting impression of nature's grandeur.

Nice place for a quick stopover by the side of water and scenic views. If you would like to do quaking you can hire and go for an adventure.

An architectural piece thats lasted decades (hopefully forever). Holds lots of history and is sturdy, and right next to it is a kayak and camping ground rental place. Perfect for spring/summer adventures.

Probably the highlight ( in terms of looks) of the town. Make it seem historic. It’s a small bridge. But looks cool. If around check it out.

Marvellous piece of architectural and engineering history worth stopping for a look and a short walk along the river to the lookouts.

Kangaroo Valley is a true gem! Its serene natural beauty, lush greenery, stunning escarpments, and tranquil rivers make it perfect for relaxation and exploration. The drive through the valley offers breathtaking landscapes, and the charming village with its quaint shops and cafes adds to the charm. The walking trails are fantastic, providing an immersive experience in the native flora and fauna. The abundance of wildlife, including kangaroos and diverse bird species, is a delight. There are several idyllic picnic spots along the river, perfect for a peaceful day out. Whether you’re into hiking, photography, or just unwinding in nature, Kangaroo Valley has something for everyone. A highly recommended getaway!

You can swim in the river, but the water is cold and there is a current. The bridge is suspended with a wooden deck, cars pass through it one at a time, and there is a lane for pedestrians.

The only surviving wooden 19th-century suspension bridge in Australia, and it's completely original. What a great piece of history! Traffic across this bridge is one-lane, and there's a small pedestrian path (not a lot of room). It's easy to walk to from the town of Kangaroo Valley (footpaths along the way) ❗ I've included pictures of the signage, great history! 🚻 Public toilets nearby on the Kangaroo Valley side

While the wine selection was impressive and well-curated, the overall experience was unfortunately let down by the service and food. Our meals arrived lukewarm/cold at best. The staff seemed distracted, disengaged and this is clear and evident in the aggressive response/s given by the owner to an honest review. If the staff were approachable we would have raised our concerns regarding the food. However, the table next to us had provided honest feedback to the staff and they were met with hostile staff. Read all past reviews carefully as this is and has been an ongoing issue for years, it appears. Wish we had seen the reviews earlier. Our feedback was passed on to our tour company. It's a shame, because the wine itself was excellent — but it deserves to be enjoyed in an environment that matches its quality. Sadly, that wasn't the case here. With a little more attention to detail and care for the customer experience, this could be a truly great spot. As it stands, I won’t be returning!

A beautiful location with friendly, helpful staff welcoming visitors to their cellar door. The wine tasting with Liam and Brenton was fabulous. They were knowledgeable about the wines and how they were produced and happy to share stories about the beautiful Coolangatta Estate. Everything we tried was delicious and the prices were very reasonable for great wine. I look forward to going back soon and highly recommend to people visiting the south coast.

Beautiful spot - lovely to walk around the grounds and see the history of the convicts village before doing the excellent tasting. We spent an age chatting with the ever engaging Liam - was impressively knowledgeable about the wine but also had great stories as he is part of the family who restored the site. Def recommend a visit

10/10 service, Liam was fantastic and service was great, wine was delicious and they were very accommodating. Even though they were short of staff they were able to give us a great experience. If you see a one star complaining about a hens being to loud and winging, don’t listen they’re a Karen… these guys are great.

Fabulous place. We keep coming back. Love the old worldly smell of wood when you walk in. Good history here. Great views. Outstanding food. The pie was fabulous. Very friendly staff. Great outside area for the long slow days of wine tasting and lunching. A must visit.

We visited this winery as part of a hens party and were left incredibly disappointed. What was meant to be a fun and memorable day turned into a frustrating experience due to poor service and lack of attention to detail. First off, the food was stone cold when it arrived — not just lukewarm, but genuinely cold. For a venue that promotes itself as a high-end winery, this was unacceptable. It seemed like it had been sitting out for ages before being brought to the table. Service was slow and inattentive. Staff barely checked in with our group, and it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests. Given that we had a booking and were a large group celebrating a special occasion, we expected at least a basic level of hospitality, but that was clearly too much to ask. Overall, the whole experience felt poorly managed and underwhelming. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place for group events or celebrations. Ps Bailey was fantastic with the wine tasting but was so busy dealing with all the different groups as they were understaffed as my daughter Rhiannon mentioned above,

Me and my husband booked a stay for a wedding. We were very sick on the week of the wedding and could not attend. We tried to raise the venue without success we then changed the dates so the venue could book someone else in our stead. They eventually thanked us for this .We requested on several occasions to cancel our accommodation without any acknowledgement. Recently the owner, Ben has turned down our good faith request to cancel. You deserve our $380.00, I hope it serves you well.... Edit (after owner’s reply): It was disappointing to see the owner question our integrity rather than acknowledge our situation. I have shared a screenshot of the exchange they referred to, which clearly shows that our refund request was declined. My husband’s comments reflected the poor customer service we experienced, not “leverage.” The customer experience begins at booking, and with 30 years in front-facing roles, I can say this venue has much to learn about genuine service and customer recovery.

Stopped by with a group of high school friends to see Robbie for a tasting earlier today before heading back to Perth tomorrow. Really appreciated the opportunity to taste the offerings from Two Figs. The wines are beautifully balanced and it was a pleasure to taste each and every wine on offer. The grounds are amazing coupled with beautifully crafted wines which I would be happy to drink on the daily. We bought a bottle of Chardonnay to enjoy at Jim’s Wild Oysters tomorrow and sent a six pack home for the wife. Service, hospitality and generosity at Two Figs is second to none. Thanks again Robbie for the being the host with the most! We enjoyed the Chardonnay at Jim’s Wild oysters!

We had a great experience at Two Figs! Robbie was so friendly and super knowledgeable. The premium tasting is well worth it! Amazing views from the tasting room too, can't recommend it enough.

The most inhospitable experience I think I’ve ever had at a hospitality venue. We booked ahead and had 10 people come to drink Two Figs Wines. No one else was at the venue. We asked if we could sit inside because it was cold outside. We were refused, with the reason give that it was for Members only. There were no members there. We asked if we could drink our purchase bottled of wine at the bar and were refused because it would be too much to clean up before closing at 5pm. So we had to drink the wine outside in the cold. When we wanted to buy another bottle we were almost refused because it was too close to 5pm which was closing time. It was 4.40pm. No one else was there. The gentlemen that was so rude to us clearly should not be in hospitality. I highly recommend avoiding this venue. The service and wines are not worth enduring.

Our visit to the Two Figs Winery was the highlight of our trip. The location is top tier, with an incredible selection of wine to match. But what truly sets Two Figs apart is the incredible service. Every single person there was genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The staff complimented us, engaged us in conversation, and showed genuine interest in where we were visiting from. This level of personal, warm, and attentive service made all the difference and elevated the tasting experience from a simple transaction to a memorable afternoon. Tony was an absolute legend <3

We arrived on a Monday and had the whole facility to ourselves. Our tour guide, Robbie, took us on an amazing wine journey thru the afternoon. Do you like big bold spicy? They got you. Do you like a subtle drinkable everyday white, they got you. Do you want an amazing Shiraz blend? They got you. Try the reserve, so worth it. Bottom line: regardless of your wine taste, they have something for you. We left very satisfied and happy. You will too.

We arrived on a week day afternoon as a group of four for a wine tasting, but without a reservation. We were easily accommodated and had excellent service from Tony throughout, offering us a selection of delicious and interesting wines. Two Figs is in a beautiful location and very lovely building inside and is well worth a visit.

My husband & I had a wonderful relaxed experience tasting wine under the guidance of our friendly host Justin. The wines were very much to our taste and the view was spectacular. We liked the wines so much that we joined the wine club & bought a dozen to go

A hidden gem! Despite the steep steps and long walk to reach the bottom, it’s worth the effort. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves waterfalls.

Lovely waterfall, tough climb down and up again but worth it in my opinion. We did it with 2x 9 year olds, 2x 12 year Olds with some complaints but not too bad. Allow more time than they say for the walk if you're old or with kids.

Awesome trek to the bottom of fairy bower falls today , great spot

Absolutely beautiful falls and worth the walk. The view from the viewing platform over the falls is breathtaking. Lots of interesting vegetation (ferns, flowering shrubs, wattle) and bird life in the area. Highly recommended. Notes - You need to park at the specific Fairy Bower Falls Carpark to have the shortest possible walk down to the falls. We parked at the separate carpark for the Fairy Bower Falls Walk. This is also a very nice walk - we saw two big waterfalls on the way down - but quite a bit harder. Either way the walk is steep (rocks, stone steps, actual stairs) and slippery in places especially after rain. You will need to cross a wide but shallow stream to get to the falls lookout. We did not walk all the way to the bottom of the falls so can't comment on what that section of the walk is like. Wear hiking boots and sensible clothing and bring a water bottle.

Around 600m hike. The route is pretty steep & rough but well worth it.

Beautiful trail, a bit wet, mossy and muddy in some sections. I would recommend walking poles. I didn’t see anyone else on the track. I allowed 2.5 hours and stopped along the way to just watch. I saw a peacock which was stunning. I wish I took my bathers for an ice plunge in the pool at the falls.

Beautiful hike. Lots of steps. I didn’t go the last leg down because I had people waiting for me. The slope is sometimes steep. Be prepared to use your hands !

Absolutely loved our VIP experience visit!! We chose this zoo over the ones in Sydney hoping for a less crowded visit and it was the best decision. Annabelle was our guide and was amazing. 100% recommend.

Older style zoo but very enjoyable. More for younger children. Very informative keepers. All staff great. Kids love petting area & keeper talks. Koalas, rabbit patting & watching lion feeding were favourite's

We had an awesome visit to Shoalhaven Zoo! The staff were welcoming, the enclosures were clean, and all the animals looked healthy and well cared for. A special highlight was meeting Reneigh the horse — such a gentle, beautiful soul who clearly loves a good pat. You can tell the keepers genuinely care for their animals, and it makes the whole experience feel personal and warm. There’s plenty to see and do, from feeding encounters to peaceful walks along the river. A great spot for families or anyone who loves getting close to animals. We’ll definitely be back to visit Reneigh again! 🐴💙

I live in Sydney and I have been to all the zoos near and far and this zoo has to be the best. We drive 2 hours to get there but WOW it's worth it everytime! The cutest, friendliest most beautiful animals I've encountered at any zoo, they seem genuinely happy. It's very interactive for a young family and a very easy zoo to nativagate without exhausting everyone. All credit to the amazing and super friendly staff!!

A perfectly well-kept zoo, on a pretty riverbank. The animals' enclosures were all very clean and tidy, but not sterile, with interesting terrains, trees etc. We went there for the maned wolves, who were super active and inquisitive. Keen to return when we are next in the area.

Best zoo ever.period.tou can hand feed lions,monkeys etc...at a extra price ofcourse and I spent my bday there and the best time ever.i bought 2 budgies and I wish I had rhe licence to buy those baby emus lol.

Such an amazing experience! The reception staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, well priced and very fast service. I experienced the Lion Feeding that was hosted by Amy and Steven and they were so incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Great variety of animals and perfect cozy location. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Dave’s Sunset Cruise — just excellent, money well spent. Captain Dave really knows his stuff; affable, entertaining, easy-going and accomodating. His vessel is ideal for the job, super accessible. Our Scottish visitors were just stoked. Steve / April 2025

Captain Dave is a great captain and a joy to travel with.

We had yet another enjoyable day over in Myola thanks to Captain Dave. He welcomed us aboard with his smile and jokes then suggested things we might like to do in Myola. If you come to Husky or Myola, make a point of a taking a trip with Captain Dave.

Captain Dave is a wonderful gentleman. Very friendly with kids and us and also gave us heaps of info around the area. We will visit you again until then take care

Thanks Captain Dave for the perfect trip across the bay. So much fun on a beautiful night

Fantastic way to get spend the day! A very quick trip and thanks to captain Dave very entertaining! Save the drive and do something different, grab the ferry to Huskisson, you can even take your dog and prices are for the return trip.

Captain Dave made the ferry ride extraordinary, memorable, and fun! He was friendly, knew much about the local area, and gave a lot of tips on what do see and what to do. Superb experience!!

Our Whale Eco Cruise on a rainy morning was absolutely unforgettable. Our staff (Capt Hamish and Paula) were delightful - friendly, pleasant, informative and funny. ☺️ We wound up being blessed with a curious pod of three (including Mom and baby!) that swam around us for a good long time after boat motor was cut and we were just floating along. Loved every rainy second of it!

We had a whale of a time!!! An unforgettable day. Heaps better than we expected. Whales were popping up all over the place but the big surprise was the cliffs. Wow. If you’d just come to see the cliffs you’d be deliriously happy. They were sensational. The boat and crew were great. We had good food and coffee at the very comfortable wharf. Happy people were everywhere. Bravo Jervis Bay Wild! Spectacular! Thank you.

A Must-Do Experience in Jervis Bay! We’ve travelled to Jervis Bay 3 times now specifically to go whale watching with Jervis Bay Wild, and once again, they did not disappoint. The crew are consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their commentary strikes a great balance between educational and entertaining. We were lucky enough to spot a couple of pods of humpback whales, including calves, and they stayed around long enough for everyone on board to enjoy the moment without rushing. Traveller Tip: Even if it’s warm on land, bring a jacket (preferably waterproof). We went out at 1pm on a 26-degree day, and I was still grateful for my cardigan once the sea breeze picked up. Better to be prepared so you can relax and enjoy the view. If you're considering a whale tour in Jervis Bay, don’t hesitate. We'll happily be back again.

I went on the Jervis Bay Passage yesterday, and it was absolutely AMAZING. What a fantastic experience. The sun shone, the sea was calm, and just sailing around all the Bay was wonderful. As we went by areas of interest, our captain gave very informative and interesting stories. The high cliffs by the lighthouse were spectacular. When we saw a Sun Fish, he drifted back so that we could watch it. Nothing was too much trouble. We saw a few seals too and the dolphins greeted us back into harbour. An experience I will never forget. Thank you.

Fantastic afternoon. Saw lots of whales. Even had a pod surface about 10 mts from the boat. We also got up close to the Jervis bay cliffs and cave systems. Really beautiful. Small boat but this got us up close which a bigger boat wouldn’t have. Friendly crew. All in all recommended

Had an amazing time this morning on the Eco Whale trip. Highly recommend!! We saw many whales, even one breaching and closely circling the boat. It was unreal! Saw some dolphins too! The staff were also super lovely and welcoming.Especially Ella who made us feel like VIPs and was so helpful, sharing local info with tourists. Thank you so much for an unforgettable morning! 5 stars!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a nice cruise experience, filled with pure rainbows surrounding the bay area from the light rain. And we saw some dolphin activity! 🐬👍 Although, I would not suggest booking cruises in the winter, unless you'd like to witness some bright rainbows! It can easily be cancelled due to harsh weather conditions, and our experience was not the opposite. It was incredibly foggy and rainy, abit difficult to capture any sealife, though when we did- it was for a short period of time. Slightly underwhelming to say the least, since we couldn't venture into the open ocean or the cliff sides. Still a nice experience overall, I haven't been on a cruise in many years.

We joined a dolphin-watching cruise in Jervis Bay and while we didn’t spot any dolphins during the actual cruise, we were lucky to see one near the jetty just before boarding—which was still a nice surprise! The crew were friendly and knowledgeable, and the boat ride itself was relaxing with beautiful views of the bay. Even without many dolphins, it was a lovely way to spend the afternoon on the water. Would definitely try again—nature doesn’t always follow the schedule!

Crew is amazing and the tour was great. The crew are so caring, constantly asking how their guests are and ensuring that they could see the dolphins swimming near the boat. The tour purposefully and respectfully finds and follows the dolphins to allow everyone a great experience. We had such a good time that we also booked the whale watching tour a few days later. Thanks for having us !! We will be back for more.

Nice and Informative. Dolphin cruise will show you dolphin while keeping knowledge of marine life to know when and how the dolphins will come or interact. Nice crew and a good experience overall.

Amazing experience to be had. Hamish and crew were great. We left it, a bit late in the Whale season to see a lot of Whales but Hamish pulled it off. Not a fantastic view of the Whales as they kept moving under the water. But we all got the bonus of seeing Dolphins 🐬 Will definitely be back and try again. 👍

Had a good time & spotted some dolphins. Went down to the coast for days trip and weather was perfect. Only slight concern is to reconsider if you have toddlers. Noticed few of them getting restless as the cruise is longer than an hour.

Had the most fantastic dolphin watch trip. We saw 20+ dolphins including a really tiny young one - so cute! The skipper and crew were awesome and we were viewing dolphins for most of the 90 minutes. JB is indeed a special place and I would highly recommend this cruise to everyone.

A dolphin cruise without dolphins....I understand that they are animals and can't be persuaded to show up, but would've been nice if they mentioned where the dolphins could show up, and maybe wait a minute. No apologies or any type of compensation for not seeing dolphins. Made even worse with no one attending the consestion stand

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you Kate, for your friendly service and sharing your great knowledge about the southern highlands, you made it a great day out enjoyed by all, lunch was heavenly. Highly recommend Grape Escape it will not disappoint.

The Grape Escape team always deliver a fun filled and professionally run tour for every group. It is always a pleasure to host them at our cellar door and winery in the Southern Highlands

Nice relaxed, very enjoyable day. Kate from the grape escape organises everything, and is friendly and warm, a great day out.

Grate day out fun friendly adventure we will be back again thanks Kate

Great friendly Service! Beautiful wine!!

Very good family level camping in the south coast. Good access to beautiful white sandy Hyams beach. Few minutes drive to Huskisson. This is an easy level camping, you can take the family and the kids here, Hell!, even grandma can come. Comes with heated water, good toilet and washing facilities. Safe, fires only on designated spots though. The rangers come and do their rounds from time to time. Not sure if they really check number of cars or if they are registered on booking. Comes with a bit of a price and for good reason. Lots of wildlife in the campgrounds, wallabies, kangaroos, possums and kookaburras. There are plenty of good hikes around as well.

Booderee National Park is absolutely amazing! The beaches are stunning, especially Cave Beach, and we loved spotting so many kangaroos. It’s a perfect place to visit with kids — we had such a great time. A total fun experience for the whole family!

Amazing breathtaking stay here with your tent or your caravan if you can get in. So many places to see and enjoy well worth the visit. Plan ahead arrive early to get the most out of your day.

We recently spent 3 nights at the Green Patch camp site at Booderee National Park. We have to say that for the exorbitant fees we paid for the drive in, no power site we were extremely disappointed. The park is beautiful, no doubt, but the facilities were poor and dirty. The showers require you to push a button every 10 or so seconds which is rediculous and unworkable. The floors in the amenities look like they haven't been cleaned in many moons. We saw some young men go in to clean the amenities one day and were out in 15 minutes. There was actually no change in the cleanliness. i.e they did no or only token cleaning. There is simply not enough cubicles and urinals to support the size of the camp. It definitely seems as though the camp is designed for form not function. On top of this we were told there was a faucet available to fill up our offline van during our stay. We found a faucet with no handle and even after requesting the handle from a ranger nothing happened. The other disconcerting thing in the park is the sheer volume of signs related to paying park fees .. they are literally everywhere and ruin the whole natural experience. In our opinion the park has been turned into a purely money making exercise with little no thought of the user experience. The management and the costs of the park needs urgent review as they do not in any way represent a good experience or good value. This is quite distinct from other NSW Parks we visited during our trip (i.e Warrunbungles National Park) which were beautiful and very well maintained and managed at one sixth the price.

Camping withaside of paradise Booderee National Park is the kind of place that makes you forget Wi‑Fi exists. I camped here and while the facilities were solid (just don’t expect a long steamy shower), the real luxury is outside. The beaches? Unreal. White sand so bright it deserves its own sunglasses. A short stroll from the campsites and suddenly you’re padding across powdery sand that looks like it was Photoshopped by Mother Nature herself. Camping here feels like trading concrete for kookaburras, deadlines for dolphins, and traffic noise for the hush of the ocean. It’s nature‑based camping at its finest: simple, beautiful, and just adventurous enough to make you feel smug about “roughing it” while still sleeping comfortably. Would I come back? Absolutely. Even if the hot water plays hard to get, the beaches more than make up for it.

We were here as tourists from Europe. But I would definitely come here often if I lived in Syd or closed by in Australia. I would recommend to stay here 1-2 night to have relaxed family holiday time. The beach is great, with orange color beside blue and white sand. There are shadows to stay in the shade. There are walking trails in the forest. It’s great to walk under the trees, and looking out to the see. There are many kangaroos and birds, and botanic gardens…

Great national park with so so much to offer! We were unfortunate not to have a sunny day - but we still enjoyed an amazing hike on Murrays Circuit, a great picnic at Murrays beach and the outstanding views at Cave Beach. The beaches are fantastic and there’s plenty of great spots to surf, snorkel, walk or just chill and enjoy the wildlife! Make sure to buy your pass in advance - then it’s just an easy drive through!

Built of iron wrought plates with a Victorian inspired design, the Warden Head light house stood twelve metres tall and is actually 1 of only 2 currently existing iron wrought lighthouses in NSW. If you're interested the other is the Wollongong Breakwater Lighthouse. A bit of history, the lighthouse first erected in 1873 but was first situated at Ulladulla Breakwater to guard the entrance of the Port before it was later moved to its current location in 1879 due to increased ships getting lost. For those looking for a bit of adventure, you can park your car at BUMMIE BAY (excellent surfing location) and take a short walk through the Coome Nujunga aboriginal inspired walking trail. Along the way there are plenty of plants, insects and bird life to see. Once you reach the lighthouse, there are a few maze like small tracks to take which will take you to the look outs and if you were as lucky as I was, you might see wales and dolphins swimming about. We also saw a dead baby snake (picture below) on the road so be very careful. On a side note, there's a nice brick wall near THE Boomie Bay car park entrance perfect for selfie lovers - Apollo my dog loved it. Hehe.. Both locations are both human and dog friendly! Yay! Theres a foot ball field with public toilets about 10mins walk to Boomie Bay which is an additional 15mins walk to the lighthouse! Anyone fit at heart: Park at Brodie Park Geological Time Walk. 103 North St, Ulladulla NSW 2539 and walk/run up to the lighthouse but stay hydrated. Was a good 45-60mins walk with 2 small tiny pomeranians. Was worth the adventure! 🐕😁🐕🥳

You can drive right up to the light house and viewing platform so no excuses for not doing a drive by. From all the information boards I guess this is a Good place for whale watching, but wrong time of year now. They could have added some info on the light house itself. Missed opportunity. This is a good place to park and go for a walk in the reserve.

Nice views overlooking the ocean. In the right there's also a small walk down to a another lookout. Has some picknick places and a small carpark

Beautiful views, road was closed due to lighthouse under repair so a 500 mt walk. Well worth the look. Cars only in nearby park area.

Quick drive from town to the steel lighthouse structure and a rewarding 180 view with whale information placards

Great place to check out whales (in season) and view

A great view. Pleasant stop after a long drive!
