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.

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.

Definitely worth a visit, the $4 parking is a bargain. The Twin Falls lookout is a reasonable walk, but well worth it to see the falls straight on. The visitors centre has a wide range of stuffed animals on display.

Lovely location for a visit. Nice walking tracks. Plenty to see. You can get a meal and drinks here. You have to pay to park. No dogs as it is a National Ot.

The winding road towards Bundanon Art Museum, we stopped here for a brief view of Fitzroy Falls. The grandeur of the falls and landscape is breathtaking. Next time we'll try walking the trails too. The falls is 150 metres from the cafe, on a board walk so accessible for all. There's no fee to visit the Fitzroy Falls but you'll need to pay $4 parking as it's part of an Australian National Park. The cafe serves usual coffee, breads and pastries and a side shop with some local honey and eggs.

Good for a little stop. The cafe is not open weekdays. The little shop is open, you can make a coffee here if you wish. Short walk to the falls, or a longer option if you choose for a different angle

Amazing views! Fitzroy Falls is stunning and easy to access, with well-maintained paths and great lookout points. A perfect stop in Morton National Park — highly recommended!

Beautiful place to visit. Falls were gorgeous. Lovely to sit and relax with a yummy ice coffee.

We did the West Rim. It’s an easy walk and lots of views of the falls. You need to pay $4 for parking.

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

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

Great historical museum telling the story of early settlers in Kangaroo Valley. Lots of old buildings and displays to explore. Very family-friendly — kids will enjoy walking through and learning about pioneer life. A wonderful stop for all ages!

What a wonderful slice of history available for the public to see and appreciate. It’s a self guided tour but everything is clear and easy to follow. It has all been so well preserved.

We didn’t enter but the place is nice with beautiful gardens. Ticket requires to enter.

I went there reading reviews about the bushwalk behind the museum where you can see many native Australian birds. But I found none except the sign that "beware of snakes". But the museum is great. It's amazing to see how simple life used to be and the efforts people put to do small daily chores. The general feel in Kangaroo valley is really good,,, simple and peaceful. There is a river just 5 mins walk away from the museum which is worth visiting too.

Interesting place to take our homeschooled child to see what life used to be like. We enjoyed the bush walk and spotting all the birds. It was a little run down but that kinds of ads to it I think

The Pioneer Village Museum Kangaroo Valley just off Moss Vale Rd near the Hampden Bridge is a great place to turn back time for the afternoon! There are several buildings, including the dairy, forge, school house, settler’s cottage, and the war remembrance room, and also a great suspension bridge to cross... Our time here was more looking over all the artifics of each building that had surprise me how much is there to see and read about... The Pioneers village museum is well worth your time with the family and to show the children how life was back in the day or just to have a BBQ lunch and wander through the bushland of the area... There is carparking available along with toilet facilities.

For just $10 per adult I had a nice time looking at this small but interesting little village. There was some war relics and information about the local boys being in the light horse regiment. Old farm equipment and huts the way the early folk used to live. There are picnic tables to have lunch and the towns historic bridge is right near by. There is a short bush walk too over the swing bridge.

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!

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 !

Only open to public on Sunday, offered soul teaching class and accommodation but booking is required to make a week before. Nice place but need more volunteers. Also I met the red belly snack in the garden😘

For meditation and chanting. Stunning place for visiting. Beautiful scenery, imposing and peace, sacred and tranquility. Highly recommended. Photos by me. Have a great day 🙏🕉️

Calm and Serene place. Unfortunately could not go in due to open times..check and go. Also were advised to be clear of the pond area for snakes are sighted.care with young and adventurous.. bundanoon good small town..last bit of drive on untarred road..get to have good tires

One of the best experiences of life, it is a space totally in the middle of nature, you totally disconnect from the city and enter the world of meditation. The monk is a spectacular being, his way of explaining and accompanying the meditation is excellent.

Response to Kim - feel free to use any of my photos for your bushfire program. Sadhu, sadhu. ___ Peaceful, artistic and unlike many other forest monasteries I've been to. There is a unique and harmonious blend of the east and west here that will make you feel like you're blissfully walking in a garden of zen as opposed to the austerity that is normally associated with monasteries.

A serene and quiet place. Reminded me of the famous pictures people share from Cambodia. A great place and not too far from Sydney and if you are in Southern Highlands in NSW make sure you spend some time here.

Lks a peaceful location

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

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!

Great hidden spot for an overnight with amazing views and allowed camp fire. Tents is not recommended as the dirt rocky ground is tuff for pegs. No issues with mobile signal. The drop toilets had plenty of toilet paper but no hand basin. The trail is a bit dangerous but take your time down to the river.

Whilst the lookouts have amazing views, the facilities are run down and the walking track is nearly overgrown. Would love to do the hike but felt that it may be too much of a risk of losing the trail and getting lost.

Beautiful views, easy access for most but looks a bit neglected

Another really nice lookout just 2hrs drive south of Sydney CBD. There is a very basic picnic area and dunny. There is fast food and fuel available nearby at Sutton Forest on the highway.

Crazy open view that goes for miles. It was brilliant 😍

Quiet, beautiful views

Great place for a bbq

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!

Wow what an amazing morning we had with Ian sharing his knowledge. Our family had a great time our youngest is very into fossils and was in his element. We are so glad that the tour correlated with our stay in Ulladulla, a real trip highlight for us all. Please pas on our thanks again to Ian.

Amazing! We were privileged to have Phil as our guide, what a wealth of information! Phil was generous with his time and knowledge throughout. Highly recommend supporting this Shoalhaven volunteer run initiative. Cannot understand how the area is not NSW National Park or UNESCO World Heritage area. It's fantastic!

You need to be there at low tide... went there by myself so I guess it might have been a better experience if we had went with a guide. But none the less, a good place to visit

Such a magical place! So many beautiful fossils 😍 Apparently this is one of only 7 sites of its kind in the world and I saw a photo of a fossilized octopus and am super keen to spot it! Maybe next time. Had an absolute blast spotting the different fossil shapes. We did this on our own (easy enough to do), but I'd love to do the guided tour to better know what I was looking at.

What can I say? Magnificent. Make sure you go at low tide. There are toilets nearby. So many fossils and interesting rock formations and caves. Loved it. A must to do when in Ulladulla.

What a pity didnt see the fossil rock as the water level still high but saw a beautiful rock pool managed by council but closed today Tue for maintenance. Very good picnic and bbq area with proper toilet facilities. Did-Dell St access over 100 steps of concrete stairs Wason St it's moderate sealed slope road to walk down. Ulladulla Harbour level concrete easy path to walk by the sea, few mintues. Lots of parking.

The information centre was very helpful pointing us in the direction of the Fossil walk and giving us a map. The Fossil House was useful where the helpful volunteer also gave us great information. Make sure to go at low tide. Once you see one Fossil you start seeing many. Very exciting and awe inspiring the age of these fossils. If you enjoy the natural world you will love this activity.

Very friendly welcome by staff, the wine tasting was excellent and Chris? (Lovely lady), was extremely knowledgeable and explained each wine. The rooms were clean, tidy and lovely to stay in. The restaurant dinner was superb, one of the best steaks I have had. Special mention to Emma who was our lovely server for the evening. I highly recommend staying and we will definitely be back. A great place for a special occasion.

What a beautiful slice of paradise. We stayed 2 nights in a villa. So well done. Modern, clean, great views over the countryside, everything you could ask for. All staff were friendly and made you feel very welcome. The restaurant was also great. Open for lunch with a good variety of food to choose from. Wine is superb.

Cupitt’s Estate is such a lovely place to visit; the service is friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are quite casual and reasonable, especially for the outdoor restaurant area. The view over the vineyard and countryside is absolutely phenomenal; perfect for photos and a relaxing afternoon. They also offer wine tastings and have a great selection available for purchase, which makes the experience even better. The grape gardens are beautiful and make for a nice walk or photo spot before or after your meal. While the outdoor menu is a bit limited compared to the more formal indoor dining, everything we tried was fresh and well-prepared. Overall, it’s a must-visit if you’re in the area; a great balance of good food, great wine, and amazing scenery!

We celebrated our 38th Wedding Anniversary for lunch. It was perfect. Our lovely English waitress wished us a Happy Anniversary & suggested oysters, wine etc to start. We decided on some shared plates including the divine home made bread to soak up all the sauces. Our wine & coffees were great! The view & atmosphere were also just lovely. 10/10!!!!

We had a great 2 night stay at one of the villas and were able to take advantage of their spring getaway package which included a complimentary 2 course lunch. The accommodation was clean, relaxing, and comfortable. We really enjoyed our lunch at the restaurant, with the highlights being the Yamba prawns and Hawkesbury Sommerland chicken. Highly recommend staying or dining here if you're in the area to celebrate a special occasion.

Unfortunately, they no longer do the set menu for 2 people, although not mentioned online; and we were further disappointed when the table next to us was offered a set menu with wine parings (on a voucher - we understand, just upsetting). We had a few drinks and snacks on the balcony before which was lovely, the beer and aperol were delish, but the wine flight was BWS appropriate at best. A “Vinyard” that promotes creativity and sustainability but uses bought, mass produced grapes? A shame. Service was wonderful though, thank you team.

We were there with a large group on Sunday. Exceptional food & service. Great experience. Special thanks to Ella & the chef for going the extra mile organising a extra bowl of the triple fried potatoes for our table after the first lot just vanished. Great location, next time we will stay there.

Such a cute farm! Fantastic mixed berry ice cream with great doggy company!! Great tour while we visited too!

Not the most enjoyable drive for 2WD but we made it there eventually and 100% no regrets! Super friendly hosts and doggy, loved the ice cream 🍦

Highly recommend if your around the bay when in self pick season. Great fun for kids, and the blue berry ice cream was refreshing and yummy 🤤 Staff at the entree was super friendly and knowledgeable about the farm , she explained all the information we need before we start our self pick section. Would definitely comeback next year!

Saw a sign & randomly visited without knowing what we were in for. The farm is great fun for the kids & blueberries are delicious, staff are super helpful & nice. The roads to the Farm are unsealed so it's all a bit of an adventure. The highlight of it is the icecream made with fresh blueberries! So yummy & a great refreshed after picking.

A must go, easy stop if your around Bateman's bay fourth time now 🤙Great for the Family, its a fair dirt road in you could ride or drive but it's a bit off a walk. Brilliant icecreem, blueberries and strawberrie icecreem a must have and try. Its a great experience for kids and adults. Any car can get in but in the rain enter from the north side as the river crossingwill be up. Since the bushfire 2019 this Small business has survived being surrounded by fire. It's come back strong and put money into a new kitchen and large deak area, well done

Lovely place to spend some time with the family. Ample blueberries to pick and amazing berry ice cream to eat. It’s a dirt road in so make sure your car is up to it but it adds to the fun. Our little one loved roaming around and picking berries.

Great farm to visit. A WARNING to those that the road leading to the farm is a unsealed road for a about 20mins each way, but is well worth the visit and is a must try. Great to support local farmers and the blueberry icecream is definitely a one of a kind😍👌🏾

This is a must do if you are in the area. These guys are fantastic and look after you providing local knowledge and expertise. Great value that you do not want to miss.

Great kayak conditions and instructions. The lake is pretty and great for beginners. The kayak company also offers dry bag as well - great thoughts. It takes 3-4 hours exploring the lake and we did a short hike for like 30 mins. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing! We wanted to go for the sunset tour on the lake, but ended up renting a kayak. Totally enjoyed the whole experience. The service from Bay and Beyond is great, and really exceeded my expectations. I will definitely go back there, maybe for that sunset tour this time. Most certainly recommend the service.

Phil and Caroline partner were fantastic. They were able to accomodate us on very short notice and provided excellent service and conversation. Will be back again!

We hired two sit-on kayaks on the weekend for our group of 4 adults and a toddler. Carolyn was so lovely and made the drop off at the lake easy - simple instruction for us to be confident with what we were doing and we were on our merry way. The maps showing the deepest part of the lake and the bird watching chart were a nice touch. My exchange students from Scandanavia loved discovering what each bird was on our journey. A beautiful spot to explore. Highly recommended.

We rented a two-man kayak for the afternoon and the process could not have been easier. The kayak itself was extremely comfortable thanks to added seats / lower back supports. Lake Durras was so beautiful and full of water fowl - very peaceful on a weekday afternoon. Would love to come back.

It was a great experience renting kayaks from bay and beyond. The kayaks were in good condition and surprisingly high quality unlike most other kayak hire services. The owners were very friendly and able to accommodate a booking at short notice, they were passionate about their services and gave our group maps of the south durras area and a guide for birds to look out for as well as a detailed safety briefing and tips. Would highly recommend this business if you are looking to kayak in the area.

I used to love going to Birdland, but moved interstate & hadn't been in around 8 years. The whole place is extremely run down unfortunately. I went this time for the wombats as they are usually awake & the orphans sometimes play which is awesome to see. The orphan wombat was asleep. The resident wombat was eating though. They definitely need to improve the website & use social media. It looks like a lot of maintenance needs to be done, but if the effort was put in, I'm sure it would make a comeback.

AMAZING Place! Seemingly small zoo in the middle of Batesman Bay but it surprised us with interesting animals and even opportunities to feed the kangaroos! Generally love the fact that there are good chances to take great pictures too!

Great little animal park. Great variety of Australian mammals and marsupials and birds plus other animals. Prices are pretty reasonable and you are also able to feed a majority of the animals for a small additional cost. Pretty quiet during the week so probably the best time to go. Also has a small gift shop.

Happy to have gone. Amazing to see all the beautiful Peacocks running around and fluffing their butts and spanning those gorgeous feathers. So many different species, I actually liked the fact that it was rainforesty like walking through the trails. We spent 2 hours there and enjoyed it immensely. Very surprised at how big it was, you would not know from the road. Pricey but worth it to keep the family and the animals thriving and surviving considering all that has been thrown at them the past couple of years. Friendly and walked away feeling good.

Not really sure where to start. We visited during school holidays. My husband and I brought our 2 kids, after seeing on the website they did train rides, as our youngest is obsessed with trains. There is a sign out front advertising the rides. It’s also on their website. But when we got there, AFTER we paid, the lady told us the train doesn’t work, but we could sit on it. PLEASE STOP ADVERTISING THAT YOU DO TRAIN RIDES. It’s a major attraction for families, and it’s a rip off when you take their money then tell them it’s not operational.Apparently it’s been out of action for years. So, if you can read and reply to reveiws, you can update that info on your website so you’re not misinforming people. The first thing you notice is the park looks very run down and neglected. The sitting/bbq area has a filthy bbq, cracked plastic chairs, and not clean at all. It looks like the maintenance person has just given up. There’s a lot of enclosures with nothing but garden waste in them. There’s wooden slat little bridges that are broken to the point of safety hazard. It’s just sad. The place has so much potential. And considering the amount they charge, it’s very over priced and underwhelming. The ostrich’s were cool, and the kangaroo’s. And there’s a play area for the kids. But that’s about all that’s positive. No staff around the grounds either. After seeing them blame the state of the grounds on “strong winds” in previous negative reviews,it’s just clear they’re making excuses and just can’t be bothered with the upkeep. Won’t be recommending it to anyone. Really disappointed.

Pleasantly surprised with this place. Don’t know what other reviews were on about did they expect Jurassic park style enclosures? It’s a locally run wildlife park with friendly staff. The paths were easy enough to go around even with a cheapo $20 stroller. Easily can spend a couple of hours there.

This whole place is very run down. The animal enclosures need a lot of maintenance. Animals look unhappy. not.much grass in enclosures. No maps are provided so you wander aimlessly through the park. The paths are uneven and tree stumps popping up all over the place making it very hard to push the pram. A lot of the paths are covered in overgrown bushes. There is a miniature train ride which is advertised on the website and on the front fence however after we paid for our tickets we were told it no longer works. VERY DISAPPOINTING. The enclosures lack information on the animals inside. Dont waste your money, this place is not worth it.

Local history 101 with relevant artefacts and stories like the first NSW Royal Commission into bushranger hotspot in Braidwood. Kids loved how accessible and tactile memorabilia was.

Only open Fridays and Saturdays 11-2pm. Well worth a look. If you're interested in bushranging history, they have the 2nd most prized relic after the Kelly armour on display. The Araluen gold coach, whose valiant team beat off the Clarke Gang, and allegedly Ben Hall and Johnny Gilbert were also there. - - - - - Free entry and they survive by generous donations.

Admission by donation. This place was frozen in time. The two storey building displays artifact of the town. Don't miss the second floor.

Like most Museums full of interesting displays that have made an actual physical improvement to Australia rather than ," feel good" ostentatious sops. People running it are short on help I suspect. Lots of work that could be done.

The Museum, an old hotel, is being renovated but has no central heating yet. It is open Fridays to Sundays incl. from eleven to three. Free, but donations welcome. Visitors often are researching family history, and always find something . The machine shed is a treasure, as are the old kitchen and dairy shed. There is also a police lock up. Pretty garden.

There was lots of things to see. Lots of places where you found yourself exploring and thinking of the past and others would just pass through. Then you found them them pondering over something that interested them. I found the reconstructed jail interesting. I wondered how many people had been squashed in there. Probably built with no nails... Pub next door for a meal and drink.

Family history research visits were greatly enhanced by Julie's professional help. Support this great Braidwood asset!, a treasure trove of our history and culture.

Very good day out good to get the kids to see how people really went through

Quaint little Zoo. Kids loved the adventure stamp experience, with the showbag at the end (paid experience) however there is a free animal passport that the kids can stamp. It is quite uneven in places, so any mobility issues will be a bit difficult to manage in places. There is clear signage in these places to make sure you are aware. Animals are close and very active in the morning. Take a picnic and set up near the primate Island, it's such a nice area! You don't need long there, 1-2hrs Max. Plenty of animal encounters available to purchase as well.

This private zoo is in a compact, mostly shady setting. It's open everyday and is not crowded usually. Being a private facility, entry fees are higher. Fair number of animals are around but a number of them are behind glass or netting making photography difficult. There is a loop circuit around the zoo for walking so you don't miss anything. Toilets available. Mostly level to low gradient walking route. Plenty of free parking outside.

Mogo Wildlife Park is an incredible experience from start to finish. The park is beautifully maintained, and you can really tell the animals are well cared for. What sets it apart is how close you can get to the animals, it feels personal and engaging, not just like viewing from a distance. The variety of animals is amazing – from majestic lions and gorillas to playful meerkats and exotic reptiles. The keepers are friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about conservation, always happy to answer questions and share insights about the animals. It’s a great place for families, animal lovers, or anyone looking to do something special. The park is easy to navigate, with plenty of shaded areas, clean facilities, and a café with decent options. Highly recommend adding Mogo Wildlife Park to your list, it’s not just a zoo, it’s an experience that stays with you.

This zoo experience was one of the best. The best time to encounter with animals you will be in the early mornings. By afternoon, the animals are tired and settled, being less active. Lots of energetic monkey species, cat species and African animals. We visited this zoo during the winter with no public holidays active, so it was reasonably quiet and not crowded. Not to sugar-coat the entire activity- the Cafe food is okay for simplisticity, the wraps are small and misleading, the merch was incredibly overpriced even for most Zoos for poor quality items. Either way, the Park experience was lovely for its size and variety in animal species and encounters.

Great zoo. Easy access and plenty of parking. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We went around 1pm and it must have been feeding time. What an experience to see a tiger chowing down on a carcuss. And the Lions were putting on a show. Love the red pandas. Easy to walk around. Wonderful experience. Thanks Mogo Zoo😊

We visited this wildlife park for my son but really I enjoyed and seen all the animals very closely. Especially Giraffe 🦒 I was not able to move form that place. My favourite one is Emperor Tamarin it was a quite cute with his moustache. We enjoyed a lotmust visit sight near Batesman bay. I would suggest to check the tickets and offers for family

Wonderful selection of animals however concerning enclosure sizes and a very distressed Tiger (we think its enclosure was being renovated so it was in a tiny area) All animals looked healthy and happy otherwise

Incredible First Surf Experience with Shane! Our family of four (myself and three kids ages 12, 10 & 8) had never surfed before, but Shane from Broulee Surf School worked magic! By the end of just one lesson, we were ALL standing up and riding waves into the beach. Shane's teaching style was perfect - clear, concise instructions on land followed by helpful guidance once in the water. His encouraging attitude made all the difference, especially for the kids who were a bit nervous at first. What stands out most was Shane's patience and positive energy. He's not just a skilled instructor but a genuinely nice guy who clearly loves sharing his passion for surfing. The location is absolutely stunning, and now my kids are completely hooked - they're already begging me for surfboards! If you're looking for a fantastic family activity that will create lasting memories, I can't recommend Shane and Broulee Surf School enough. We'll definitely be back for more lessons!

I would like to sincerely thank Broulee Surf School, especially Shane and Scott. From the very beginning, they taught me with patience and care, helping me progress step by step until I was able to pop up and gain the confidence to catch my own waves. I truly appreciate their guidance and support, and I will definitely recommend them to anyone looking to learn how to surf.

We booked two teens into surfing lessons with Shane. Both teens had a great time and improved their skills over the two sessions. We will definitely book in for some more sessions. Highly recommended.

THE BEST SURF INSTRUCTOR!!! 10/10 would recommend!!!!! His surf lessons are by far the most impactful I’ve taken in my life!!! Shane is hands down the most skilled and qualified surf instructor in, dare I declare, all of Australia. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has decades of surf experience at the highest levels of professional competition. He can improve ANY surfer no matter what level they are at! He helped me move quickly advance while teaching me the best practices and always finding the optimal waves for my ability. Shane is incredibly patient and will make you feel safe in the water. Above all, he will help you build confidence at every stage. I cannot wait to return to take more lessons with him!!! Thank you, Shane!!!! 🤙

Shane was such a great instructor! Had me standing up in my first lesson! A great experience especially for myself who had never surfed before! 10/10 🏄‍♀️

Shane was great. Booked lessons for my son. Super accommodating. Friendly. Professional. Best in the biz. Wish we had booked more lessons. Hope to be back one day. So many breaks so little time.

Shane, Thank you very much for Alex's custom solo lesson. With your great tuition and close attention, he learned the maximum possible and we have great pics and videos. He lands home on 29th and is going out with his mates. His stories from only ten days DownUndah include cracking a stockwhip, catching boomerangs, blowing a didj, playing guitars, seeing the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, whales, seals, wallabies, kangaroos, black cockatoos, kookaburras, parrots and now surfing the South Pacific. It might be a while before he stops talking... Thanks, champ. Cheers, Glen Thank you very much for Alex's custom solo lesson. With your great tuition and close attention, he learned the maximum possible and we have great pics and videos. Thanks, champ. Cheers, Glen
