Things to do

Outdoor Activities
BREATHTAKING NATURAL BEAUTY
Only 15 minutes to the grand sweeping sands, rock pools and bushland of awe-inspiring Seven Mile Beach National Park, it is also little more than 20 minutes to the sleepy coastal hamlets of Gerringong and Kiama. Should golf be your passion, nearby courses include the Coolangatta Estate Winery (9 Holes), Shoalhaven Heads, Kangaroo Valley, Nowra and Gerringong. A breathtaking drive westwards will lead you through the rugged escarpments of Kangaroo Valley to the natural beauty, waterfalls and cosy villages of the Southern Highlands.
For the more adventurous, there is a fabulous walk from the top of Woodhill Mountain Road to Drawing Room Rocks. Every step of this walk leads you closer to magnificent panoramic views. The Berry Website – www.berry.org.au – also has some great ideas of what to do in and around town. If you have a specific request or would like further advice or suggestions for activities during your stay please let us know and we will do everything we can to assist.
