We are close to Illawarra's most beautiful beaches, namely North Beach and Port Kembla. They are great for swimming and surfing. There are many bush walking tracks at nearby Mount Keira and the escarpment. The Royal National Park is 30 minutes north of here. The Grand Pacific Drive leads you past seaside villages to Wollongong Harbour which features a lighthouse and dramatic views of the escarpment and coastline. Simply stunning. Continuing 30 minutes south of Wollongong takes in the picturesque seaside villages and dairy country of the south coast towns of Shellharbour, Gerringong, Kiama, Jamberoo and the historic village of Berry. There is a major water fun park at Jamberoo.
