Across the road from the end of our driveway is a delightfully quiet place to dangle a line into Broughton Creek, or walk a few hundred metres to its confluence with the Shoalhaven River. Just down the road is a boat ramp. We can supply you with tiger worms straight from our compost, or prawns if you prefer.
Put your canoe into Broughton Creek, paddle out into the middle of the Shoalhaven River and over to Numbaa Island. Canoe around it and be astounded by the variety and number of waterbirds. Or take part in the annual Bridge to Bridge regatta from the bridge on Coolangatta Road near Berry.
Walk along the creek, over the hill, up Coolangatta mountain, and far far away. Or just around the property looking for the endangered, green and golden bell frog. Bring your binoculars to look for Black Shouldered Kites, Wedge Tailed or Sea eagles and pelicans. One of our favourite walks is to Drawing Room Rocks, near Berry, but we also get up most mornings to walk 15 minutes up the road to Two Figs Winery - the view of the Shoalhaven River flowing from the mountains to the sea is spectacular! Here are descriptions of other walks in the Shoalhaven.
We live on one of the most popular cycling roads on the south coast, well-used by the Nowra and Kiama Bicycle User's Groups. Meander along Back Forest Road, Coolangatta Road and into Berry (check our bicycle page for distances). Or, if you like an adrenalin rush, get dropped off at Mount Cambewarra lookout, ride along the scenic escarpment and prepare yourself for a rapid descent into Berry.
Walked to Two Figs Winery and developed a taste for the local varieties? Five minutes down the road is the original Coolangatta village, first settled almost two hundred years ago. Now a multi-award winning winery, they (and Mountain Ridge winery a bit further along) have a free Jazz afternoon each month. Other vineyards close by include the Cambewarra and Crooked River wineries - very few visitors leave unsatisfied and without at least one bottle under each arm. Or try one of the Wiley's Creek reds from the Silos Winery - as good as anything from Margaret River! Here is a list of local wineries
Nine kilometres away (that's about an eight minute drive in the country) and you're at Shoalhaven Heads beach surfing with the locals. If you don't like strong currents, go a few more kilometres through Seven Mile Beach National Park to the shelter of Gerroa Beach and estuary. Or a little further to the booming surf of Werri Beach, where you can have the best fish and chips on the south coast. Alternatively, the Gerroa Club is a family restaurant with magnificent views of Seven Mile Beach. If heated pools are your thing, there's one 8 kilometres away in Bomaderry.
Five kms to Coolangatta, 11 kms to Shoalhaven Heads or Nowra, 20 kms to Gerringong golf courses - all open to the public
The quaint town has more than its fair share of old buildings, great restaurants, antiques and cafes. Only a 10 minute drive and you're there.
