A great little museum with lovely staff. I would recommend between 15 minutes to 1 hour for most. Their gift shop is also a one stop shop for dinosaur themed gifts.
Micci Hatch — Google review
Good place to visit especially with kids. Lot's of collection of minerals and fossil along with its history. Kids were very excited to see dinosaur skeleton. There was 4 questions for kids with answers hidden in the museum and they received a free gift after submitting the paper at the reception. Small place but overall worth visiting atleast once.

Excellent museum for crystal lovers… you can see different collection of crystals.. worth visit if you are lover of fossils and crystals…unless you can avoid…car parking is available on road side… for us it took 40 mins to spend time in Museum… ideally took 1 hour approximately…

Great place especially for those with kids intrested in rocks and fossils. The collection of minerals is amazing. The TRex pet section is a wonderful for young and not so young. The youn man at the desk is a credit to the museum
Ray — Google review
It's just like you were told as a kid ..you get to see dinosaurs and ancient animals . It's the last few days you can use your discover NSW vouchers and see something really marvelous. It's not a huge building so you will definitely have time to go through and read and really get to know about the artefacts. You enter through the gift shop into a sea of sparkling crystals..amethyst amber's and others crystals.. so many you could spend the day admiring nature's jewellery.. you walk through into the other room to be greeted by two huge dinosaur cast from original bone casts and recreated for display. Walking along the room you could experience walking through the meta million years of evolution from early signs of organisms to herds of hearing like unknown species to creatures and insects crystallized into tree wax to form into amber's .. you can see actual dinosaur bones and eggs too and find out types of fishes whose species are yet in named.. don't forget the mystery drawers of fossils. Once you have taken in all that you get to walk out of through the gift shop where if you want you can actually carry a fossilised history dating back to millions of years back home with you. .. it's really an experience.

The moving dinosaurs were a huge hit with my 3yr old. We enjoyed using the kids interteractive building blocks and the fossil rubbings. There were alot of cool fossils and so many beautiful rocks and minerals.

Best mineral display I've seen so far. Fossils were unique and rare, including some from the burgess shale and green river formation. Beautiful trilobites also. I reccomend.

Absolutely must to visit if you’re in Bathurst! Great collection of minerals and fossils, lots of educational information, and some entertainment (such as microscope and fossil rubbing pictures.
Svetlana Prokhorova — Google review
Wow what an amazing place! It has an AMAZING minerals exhibition with so much information and laid out so amazingly! Then you step through to the fossil and dinosaur exhibition and you're in for another surprise. So many fantastic fossils laid out in chronological order with so much ieasy to understand and labelled information. To top this off, a fantastic T-Rex skeleton along with a few others. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Bathurst. Or even better, get.pass for all three excellent museums here in Bathurst and see them all! Minerals and Dinosaur, Train and Mt Panorama museums..(It's actually cheaper to get a pass for all three)

An informative museum set inside an old school in Bathurst. Describes the major classes of minerals and links it to the development of fossils and Earth's geologic history. The ticket price is $15 and the detailed and informative displays are well worth an hour or so of your time.

Great little museum for both the young and old. A good display of fossils and minerals. The huge display of mineral is just mind blowing, so colourful and unique in its own ways. Great way to spend an and hour out two whilst in Bathurst.

The museum is a great place for an adventure, either by yourself or with our family. They have a great history of minerals and geology throughout Australia, an excellent section of fossils and skeletons in the dinosaur section, and a very awesome and informative video on the changes of earths geological history. The gift shop is cool and has a lot of variety.

Small enough to see it all without getting bored, but big enough to see many different things. The exhibits were interesting, and thoughtfully composed.
Elisha Harris — Google review
A wide collection of gems and informative in regards to fossil and dinosaurs.
Home of the Bathurst 1000 event, this road-race circuit has uphill stretches with panoramic views.
Beautiful venue. The misty mornings add to the adventure and challenges for the endurance races. Worth having a weekend camping trip with friends and families. Plenty of spots to watch cars roar.
Sherwin Pinto — Google review
Best place in the world to watch touring car/GT3 racing. Great facilities and passionate crowd.
Adequate camping facilities located all round the circuit. Does need more big screens across the top to ensure you can follow the action.

Really nice to be on a real race track with your own car after playing all the driving games in my life. 🏁
Got some thrill from accelerating, couldn’t speed over 60 km/h however. 2x 30s fast-forward video of me on the circuit. 🚘
As captured- traffic police entering the area when I was exiting the circuit. This circuit is frequented by mobile speed cams. 🚔
Zachary Tan — Google review
So good to be back at this track this year. As always the racing runs like clockwork. I think the experience this year is better than any of the previous ones I've been to. And there have been a mixed bunch of 'creative' people up on the mountain..
Peter Howie (Surveyor) — Google review
Great place to drive around and absolutely stunning views around sunrise / sunset. There is a boardwalk which is worth walking along too but it is quite steep in sections.
Luke Zhou — Google review
This place is a hidden heaven. The top of the mountain at Mount Panorama is a great spot to just sit and chill if you are around. Although many peeps were jogging on the whole track which was quite impressive as its approx. 6 kms (inclined) but the whole place had a great vibe honestly.
And and and, you get to watch bunch of Kangaroos just roaming around the area too.
Will surely go there again soon, hopefully to watch a race on this amazing track.
Anas Awais — Google review
Very clean. The drive is very nice with places to look left and right. Speed on conrod feels to slow they need to add an extra 20kph. Ticked off a bucket list it was awesome i highly recommend.

Absolutely breathtaking. We went in the early afternoon and just as the sun was setting. A beautiful, peaceful drive with stop points to view. Highly recommend. It was certainly worth the drive.
Do stop into the car museum as you exit.

Mount Panorama, the words instantly bring the roaring of supercars charging up the mountain and that same buzz of excitement is what you feel as you drive onto the circuit (even at 60km).
A motor racing iconic location, stunning scenery and views all around.
Will I be back, absolutely.
Rebecca Buchanan — Google review
Have a drive around this iconic circuit.
The bends coming off the top of the mountain are very steep and very sharp. Amazing how fast a supercar gets through this bit.
Then go around the other way, remember it's 60kph and two way traffic, but it shows how sterp and windy the track is
Timm Anderson — Google review
A truly amazing experience to be able to experience driving like a pro, however the speed limit is only 60km.
The views from the mountain is stunning and you can even park your car and have a walk at the top of the mountain.
Totally free, but just make sure you stick to the speed limit as cops just come out from no where.
Kim Nguy — Google review
One of the most iconic race track in the world. The panoramic views at the top of the mountain are surreal, and there are plenty of opportunities for decent pictures with no fence obstructing the race cars around the track. Great atmosphere too during the Bathurst 12 Hours.
Damien Marquez — Google review
Amazing weather, if you like cool misty mornings followed by warm summer days, nature, fields of green and gold, with mother nature's music surrounding you on all sides. Wether travelling for a day visit while passing through, or camping, glamping,, hotels and motels for special holidays, Bathurst's Mount Panorama race track is the one ultimate walk and must do and see from the pit lane straight all the way to the top to Mount Panorama's specially named Brock's Skyline and the view in all weather is both breathtaking and amazing in all directions.
Why not stop at the local wineries located directly on the 6.2km Mount Panorama track. For your night caps and gifts for family members special day.
Support local businesses in the bush I say!

Steve Haskell — Google review
Mount Panorama motor car racing circuit is up there with the best in the world. The size makes it great for action all the time, but the elevation of the Mount is amazing, something you will never see on TV until you are here. You can drive around too but ONLY at the speed limit LOL.
Richard Jagger — Google review
If you've never driven the track before, you definitely should try and get on a manufacturer's driving experience or professional drivers training day.
You definitely gain a better appreciation for the professional racing drivers who go around here for hours at a time.
The Bathurst 12 hour race is an amazing weekend!

Museum displaying cars, motorcycles & other memorabilia related to Australia's racing history.
I loved our visit to the museum! While I've been a few times over the years, it had been a while and it was the first time taking my family. I always get a kick out of seeing Australian racing history on display and being able to view up close the race cars (and bikes!) I've grown up with was very cool. The quality of the displays and background information is fantastic and a big thanks to the friendly, knowledgeable staff. Without this museum, some of the greatest race cars in Australia wouldn't be seen by the public. Whether you're a die hard race fan or someone who watches once a year when the Bathurst 1000 is on, the museum is a must do if you get the chance!
Paul Campbell — Google review
A lot of fun to see the cars up close. Aptly priced and great location, if you’re driving up Mt you should definitely consider stopping in here. The location is nice and clean, friendly staff and good memorabilia. I would recommend having the collection coin machine checked however. When I was there it took my money and didn’t slot the coin. Highly recommend.
Aneira WP — Google review
For those who are into muscle cars, this is a wonderful place to visit, you can buy beautiful souvenirs from there, it's not so expensive. Unisex toilets are available there. There's a dark room where they play videos on 3 walls of the past races, the sound wasn't great, it was fun for kids and for adults as well.

The NMRM is located at the entrance to the great Mt Panorama race track. It looks like a small building from the front, but has a treasure trove or racing memories and history inside.
Whether it's motorbikes (racing since 1938!) or cars (since 1963), there's something here for you.
As someone who has watched the Bathurst 1000 since the early 70s, this was a real trip down memory lane. It also provided a few surprises looking at the winners of the first seven or eight years of car racing.
All the major winning vehicles are on display (either replicas or restorations) and it's amazing to think about some of the early winners and they cars they drove.
There are also some cars that have participated in the 12hr and 6hr events, as well as many of the major motorcycle races over the years. If you're a speedway fan, there are even some of those on display!
Even if you're not a motor racing fan, this will still be of interest just from a local history aspect.

A must for any racing, especially V8 supercars fan.
Always something wicked to see here. And they do rotate displays, so their is always something new to see.
Great layout and you can get up nice and close to displays which is a great touch. Don't worry both two and four wheel fans are catered for.
Love the history of the great race and this place really brings that to life.
Also has a gift shop which helped me with my Bathurst winners collection. As they have some diecast models there.
Thanks again guys, keep up the great work. And see you next visit!

Would be quite easy to loose a few hours here
Allen laurich — Google review
Very over rated, very much out dated. I mean the bike board ain't been updated since 1982. Non interactive especially the children's ay ground. They expect people to have a bbq in the picnic ground. The play ground is no good for children, no shade and quite frankly they could have at least made the ay ground an interesting, interactive kids area. One day they may get the idea of what a museum should be. There is much better out there but it depends on where or what you actually want to travel to.
Spike Elsa — Google review
Great place if you enjoy V8 Supercars. Although there are a few GT cars and open wheel cars. One thing to note is that the model cars for sale in the gift shop are pricey.

Amazingly presented museum celebrating the richness of motor racing history in Australia. Awesome exhibits and many rare and historic racing vehicles to see. Highly recommended when visiting Bathurst.
Flower-filled green space with a water garden, grotto & tree-lined valley, plus giant chess.
An absolutely amazing place to visit. My family and I had visited Mayfield Garden during their autumn festival and the place is spectacular. Little one loved it as there's so much to see, and so did we. It's vast and as their recommendation, atleast 4 hours is needed to explore the entire garden. It was very busy today being Easter Sunday, so buying tickets online was ideal to skip the ticket queue. Although it was busy, because the garden covers 65 hectares, it was still very spacious despite the number of attendances. The garden is well maintained, clean and beautiful. All the staff was friendly, helpful and professional. The maze cafe and staff service was great, food and coffee was lovely. Our experience was amazing here and we're already planning to come back again this month.
Update: Came back a second time within the month for the Autumn festival. Despite the weather being a little gloomy and light showers, our visit was still enjoyable. There's so much more to see that we didn't get a chance on our last visit. Enjoyed a picnic lunch just sitting on the lawn with beautiful scenery. Had a great time. Thank you for staff and the owners.

Having seen Mayfield Gardens on social media platforms we decided to go for a day trip to visit.
From driving in the leaving the whole day was just breath taking. Such relaxing and beautiful grounds just makes you really appreciate the natural beauty and quietness that Mother Nature has to offer. The gardens are well kept and very easy walking tracks. The cafe food was delicious fresh and very tasty. I would just recommend to book a table ahead of your visit to ensure you are able to get seated.

Just happened on this place by sheer luck and what a absolutely great find.
One of the best gardens I've walked through, very well maintained and very scenic.
Walked around here for about 2 hours but I could have spent longer if I had more time but will come again as I had to skip the maze.
Highly recommend taking a day trip up to here if in Sydney or surrounding areas.

What a spectacular and magical place. Thanks to the summer festival, we had the chance to enjoy two gardens (Mayfield Garden & Hawkin’s Family Garden) in one visit. Such an amazing garden with amazing variety of plants. The maze is interesting and enjoyable. We spent nearly 4 hours in the Garden but still felt a little bit rush. Tips before you visit - have plenty of water with you, wear comfortable shoes and carefully protect yourself from the sun. We’ll definitely come back in different seasons.
Anna Lynn — Google review
It's a spectacular place to visit during autumn. Amazing fall colours tree and lush green garden looks like a portrait picture. so many beautiful picture-perfect spots for taking photos. It's a huge garden with many different themes, and the maze is one of the best attractions. A nice cafe is there at the entrance of the garden. We visited during the autumn festival and was awesome. Takes the whole day to see everything, and it's a lot of walking but worth it

Mayfield Garden was absolutely beautiful. We were in awe of the architecture and fine details put into the different areas of the garden. Even the pathway looked as though it was put together stone by stone, by hand. We will definitely be visiting again during Spring season when all the flowers and plants are in bloom. The experience we had was definitely worth every moment and every memory. I recommend to anyone who loves nature, water and serenity.

Mayfield garden is a beautiful and large garden with a variety of flowers, plants and lakes. The garden has multiple trails to follow for the different exhibits. On one of the lakes it is possible to take a rowboat out for 20 minutes. The garden also has a chapel and bird sanctuary. Around the entrance area there is a restaurant and some snack shops.

Three hours drive from Sydney. If you would like to hang with your family and friends, then I would suggest you to visit the garden specially during Autumn festival which is in April. I would suggest you to bring your own food as there are plenty of open spaces where you can arrange your own picnic. The garden is huge so defiantly suggest you to arrive as early as possible. Would love to visit again during Winter festival. Can't wait for it!
Pang Pang — Google review
A fantastic garden with strong autumn colours coming through, an abundance of maple trees of different varieties, beautifully landscaped gardens for a reasonable entry fee. An absolute stunner and worth the drive in peak Autumn season. They are in the middle of Nowhere (Oberon) which means you shouldn't rely on mobile phone reception, yet somehow they keep busy with a fairly full car park. At absolute peak you might have to book your tickets beforehand, so pay attention. Looking forward to coming back in spring, and autumn again, then spring...
Paul Nguyen — Google review
The best kept tourist secret in NSW. We went to the gardens after being recommended it by the Oberon Antique Shop owner. The gardens were a spectacular surprise with a WOW factor around every corner. Congratulations to the Hawkins family who created, own and manage this fabulous garden. It compares favourable with any European garden that I have visited. I loved the thousands and thousands of flowering bulbs Mayfield Garden was a delight and I will be back to see this wonderful garden in other seasons. Opened every day of the year with a delightful cafe, it was the highlight of our week in the Blue Mountains and the surrounding towns.

Mayfield Garden offers a picturesque escape with its stunning landscapes, diverse flora, and well-maintained paths. The expansive garden provides a tranquil setting for leisurely strolls, and the themed areas add an element of charm. Whether exploring the water features or enjoying a picnic, Mayfield Garden offers a delightful experience for nature enthusiasts. The attention to detail in design and upkeep contributes to the overall appeal, making it a worthwhile destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat.

Good place to visit if you are visiting Genolan Caves or surrounding area. Probably better to visit in spring so see all the beautiful flowers this place has to offer.
Too many flies if you are visiting in summers, so I won’t recommend it. Make sure to bring some water as it is quite a big garden and be ready to walk plenty.

Best place and a must visit!! Outstanding experience throughout the Glamping. Awesome food from the restaurant pecan pie is my favourite dessert must try… Massive garden minimum of whole day is required to complete the whole map.. best designed maze had great fun and lots and lots of good memories.. Delightful for nature lovers and enjoyed boating, farm animals bird watching, architectural waterfall, fountains, Hawkins estate and more not enough to explain the moments.. special mention for the staffs around were so kind, friendly and provide quality of service.. best seasons spring and autumn when the colours change…
The Lithgow Small Arms Factory Museum, situated in the Methven Street, is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone intrigued by military history. Established in 1912 as part of Australia's effort to become self-sufficient in defense production, this museum is housed within the former precision engineering factory. It played a crucial role during both World Wars, manufacturing rifles and machine guns. The site now hosts an extensive collection of civilian and military firearms, making it one of the largest in Australia.
An absolute must visit when in Lithgow, the history here is just amazing.
The factory produced so much more than firearms and war items, domestic items we use every day were also made here.
The ability of the factory to adapt to changing requirements and the high quality produced is a credit to those who worked there.
Friendly, helpful staff make it a great spot to visit.
Chris Collum — Google review
Be sure to be a gun fan if you're coming here. I felt it was years of gun evolution spread across every wall. The initial part of the museum has some interesting fact boards before moving into the room of firearms.
It's a nice place to swing by and pop in, and I love that the volunteers are passionate about the place.
Looking forward to the factory out the back becoming part of the self guided tour, we received an escort as it's still unsafe to be roaming around and there's a lot of history here
Stephanie Reyes — Google review
Great experience and even though I’ve been a few times now it was a nice surprise to be able to access the workshop. The sight and smell gives you a small window into scale of this factory. It’s a shame manufacturing isn’t what it used to be in Australia as this factory contributed so many valuable parts.
Cheap entry in my opinion for the quality of the collection.

EVERYONE needs to come here. It is excellent and I believe will get better. The details around the history of the site and the manufacturing that occurred here is great. The volunteers there really care about the information and what they are doing. It is done really well and is very interesting. The gun collection has is amazing in Itself but the history of manufacturing that occurred here is amazing. This was at one time the largest small arms manufacturing factory in the southern hemisphere. They have set up as many old pieces of machinery that they can and intend to get some of them working - this is an amazing piece of history and should be HERITAGE listed. A great visit for anyone - get out there - take your children, take your mother - take your wife.

What a fantastic journey through the history of the Lithgow small arms factory and museum. To take my 96yr old father back to his first place of employment from (1942 -1945) as a teenager and reliving his stories with the guides was priceless. Disappointed about the internal lift not working as we had paid to see all of the museum and could not get my father in a wheel chair up to the first floor as well as seeing fathers, caring strollers up a flight of stairs. Staff absolutely amazing, caring and helpful, BUT, the owner of the museum needs to be told about the lift and restrictions it imposes on the elderly and disable community.

This museum is only on 1% of the size of the full facility. The craftsmanship and attention to detail this place had is displayed through the exhibits and leaves you in absolute awe at the quality, quantity and differentness of all the things produced during its time. From sewing machines through to machine guns.
Highly recommend at least an hour. Talk to the staff too, they are up for some yarns.
My son & myself love this place so much. The cottage is nice and clean. It has everything you need during the stay. The activities we joined were great too, especially the horse riding. I never like to ride on a horse last time but now my view totally changed, instruction told was clear & the host will make sure everything is fine & safe before we set off. I feel good & really enjoy it this time. The farm is well maintenance and the farm pets are all loveable. And of course, the host - Pauline. She is friendly & responsive. She never failed to reply my queries every time👍🏻👍🏻. The only downside was we are unable to stay longer ☹️
Thanks, Pauline for making our short stay so memorable 😘

We spent two nights at the farm and we truly enjoyed our stay! The accommodation was tidy and clean. My daughter loved the interaction with the many animals at the farm. Our host Pauline went above and beyond to make this stay memorable for the entire family. Highly recommended!

My family and I just love visiting the farm. I absolutely recommend this beautiful property to everyone. I can’t keep my daughter away from there actually. This place has really changed my Daughters life in so many ways. The love she has for the horses is really something beautiful to see. The owner Pauline is a remarkable woman and she makes us feel so welcome. My Daughter definitely has a new role model in Pauline.
We will always be back.

This place is truly amazing. We have been a couple of times now (and are booked in to go again!) and Pauline has always made us feel welcome. She always goes above and beyond and clearly loves her gorgeous animals. The accommodation is clean, warm and comfortable - we really couldn't recommend it more highly (we've been with young kids and elderly parents and all were happy). Thank you so much

Wonderful place to visit with lots of different animals. We are happy to stay there for 2 nights and enjoyed it a lot. Very happy to meet owner Pauline and had her taking us to horse riding and farm tour. She is very kind that she rescued different animals and help them grow in the farm. Highly recommend. It is not only for kids, we and my parents also enjoyed it a lot. (Fireplace at night and gorgeous star night is a plus :D )

Had a really lovely experience doing a trail ride today. You can tell that the horses are well loved and cared for which makes the experience so much more special. Pauline was so kind, welcoming and shared her vast expanse of knowledge with us. We got to see camels, emus, goats, sheep, a pig, plus more. Absolutely magical and definitely coming back for a longer stay! Thank you Pauline!

A great place for a family getaway! We were staying there for a couple of nights and also got an opportunity to enjoy the horse riding and a farm tour. Pauline, Kris, Mick, Bella and Bear (the dog) went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. The cottage was nice and clean with lots of blankets and a wood heater.

Definitely worth the trip out here lovely owner and host. Plenty to see and do. A great location and amazing scenery. Trail rides are nice and very scenic suitable for all riders. Friendly dog Bear and pig Peppa. All animals are well cared for. Great spot for any animal lovers or someone looking to wind down. Exceed my expectations and high regard to the owner. Thank you kindly!

We stayed two nights over the long weekend in the two bedroom cabin. It was a beautiful experience for our family of five. The cabin was comfortable and simple. My daughter and I did two horse trail rides and loved it. We all did the buggy ride which was great fun, especially for my 12 year old sons. Pauline is very friendly, informative, hard working and safety conscious.

We did the Buggy Tour last week while holidaying at the Blue Mountains. It was the highlight of our trip! Completed tour with husband and almost 17yo son. Each of us got to drive our own Buggy, so much fun, despite the minus "feels like" temperatures! We even got to see goats, cows, alpacas, chickens, horses, camels, Pepper the Pig, Bear the Dog, and even an emu! Highly recommend visiting, now I know they do farm stays, we hope to visiting again using their accommodation and take their interactive safari tour...

Did farm safari awesome to meet all the animals. The 2 bedroom cottage was very neat and tidy and had everything we needed including plenty of firewood. Overall had awesome time and definitely will be back and recommend to anyone who wants an authentic farm stay.
Cheers Steve and Cheree.
Hassans Walls, located in the Blue Mountains, boasts the highest lookout point in the area. The railed lookout extends over the escarpment, providing stunning views of the mountains and valleys. Visitors can explore several lookout points offering different perspectives, all within a short walk from the car park. One particularly unique spot is a cave that frames a picturesque view, making it an ideal setting for memorable photos.
Jenolan Caves is a natural tourist site with 11 caves and underground rivers, located in the Blue Mountains. The limestone cave system is extensive and complex, making it one of the world's largest networks. Visitors can enjoy spectacular views of numerous caverns with vast subterranean spaces, unique limestone formations, and an underground river. Reservations are recommended for cave visits to avoid long waits during busy periods.
I went on public holiday, it was easy to find the escort vehicle, there were traffic controller really organised and easy access. Tour started on time. Amazing cave we did Lucas cave. Highly recommended book your ticket online! Easy to walk down instead catch the shuttle bus nice view!

The caves themselves are as beautiful as ever, however the drive there now from Sydney is just way too long and boring. The rains in early 2020 has closed the westbound approach via Jenolan Caves road so now you must enter via the western side via Oberon, adding at least 40 minutes to an already long drive.
The cave tours are run by knowledgeable and friendly staff. The tours themselves are not that long and they give you plenty of time to take photos.
For EV drivers, there are 2 charging stations at the entrance of the Orient cave.
Griffin Ngo — Google review
My friend and I visited the Temple of Baal cave. The tour was very well presented and organized. It is a great cave to explore, you can see and feel the magnificence of nature and time itself.
The guide will explain how each formation is formed in millions of years. You will know the myth behind the name of the cave and how it was discovered.
Overall, a great experience. There are several caves to explore, you just need to decide which ones you like since you have to pay for each one.
If you wish to explore more, make sure you come here very early especially on a weekend. I suggest ordering the tickets online and come 1 hr before the tour

Really great place to go and explore one of the biggest cave systems in the world. Felt very safe in the cave. The guides are awesome. Tell you alot about the ecosystem. I did the imperial cave with my 1 year old daughter in a front facing baby carrier. Few spots where you have to duck but overall really very easy. Highly recommend.

I spent two unforgettable nights at Jenolan caves house. The accommodation was great, loved the heritage and antiquity. the food was no nonsense quintessential Australian, well worth including if you book here. All the staff were happy and helpful. Clean rooms with antique furniture, comfy beds, nice bathroom. The tours were spectacular and tour guides were friendly and very knowledgeable in geology and Australian history. Each cave was completely different and had its own vibe. The plug hole tour had to be the cherry on top, was honestly the best experience out of the whole trip, shout out to Peter and Stewart who were so professional and really made sure everyone had a great time. I just want to thank everyone at jenolan from the bottom of my heart, me and the Mrs won't forget our wonderful trip here. I don't normally leave reviews but everyone just needs to know how great this place is and really deserves more attention from state government.

We had a private tour arranged through the office. Ribbon Cave with a Temple of Baal Cave entrance and an Orient Cave exit. It was absolutely amazing. Words can’t describe just how special it was to see the 3 different cave formations. Our guid was Geoff and he taught us many things about the formations of the crystals and how they form. It was most informative

Wow! What a magical experience. Very knowledgeable (and witty) guides. The walks are pretty easy (even the ‘strenuous’ rated ones) - there may be numerous stairs but the tour has ample stops for you to catch your breathe and there is no rush. Caves are cool but as you are walking they are not too cold.
Alon Berman — Google review
Absolutely fantastic experience at the Imperial caves tour and left us wanting to do the other tours as well. Our guide gave us a lot of interesting facts and kept us all engaged throughout the tour. Plan to be at the barrier point (from where the operator vehicle escorts to the caves) at least an hour in advance. Park and walk or take the shuttle. The walk to the caves is easier than the walk back as it's mostly downhill. View of the blue lake from the walking path is amazing. Can't wait for the lake boardwalk also to be complete. Restrooms at the parking spot and near caves entry. Cafe near the caves entry serves quick eats. Toast / ready to eat items get served faster.

The caves themselves are phenomenal - beyond 5 stars and a wonder of nature. Our guide, Maddie (?), was very knowledgeable and gave us great stories and info along the way. Be sure to pre-book as this is a long way to drive to be disappointed - there are extra slots available if you are staying at the hotel. The 4 star rather than 5 star was a very average cafe and food options, a tired looking hotel (and pricey), and painful traffic lights as they rebuild the roads. However, watch this space as we were told the whole experience is getting a revamp.

Nothing better than a cool dark place. A sweltering Sydney summer is a great time to visit Jenolan Caves. Walking into the belly of the beast is such a contrast to the world outside. I only did what I think was the introductory walk and visit. Took my children who were absolutely blown away by the power and awesomeness of the caves. Suddenly your children get to see old time earth reveal herself in the cold darkness. The architecture of nature is simply astounding. The millions and billions and trillions of drops forming old school Star Trek landscapes. Walking through the paths under the lights is set at a relaxed enjoyable pace. For me it was a great return trip as I’ve visited the caves many times. However, to watch my children’s awe at the beauty and weirdness of the Jenolan Caves was an experience to remember. Great bar. Ok food. As usual in high demand natural tourist settings the food has to take care of business and the expensiveness is taken into account considering the amount of work, people and care that has to be maintained to keep these magnificent caves open to the public. So, bring you’re own grub if you don’t feel like spending more than you expect or want. A great visit. Lovely experience and I’ll be back.

The trip to Jenolan Caves now is quite lengthy due to road closures. If you enjoy driving, this will not be an issue. The drive is fairly engaging with a lot of elevation changes and windy roads, with the final section being one-way and escort vehicle only. Roads are not of the best quality, however even sports cars are able to manage just fine.
The caves themselves were great. Even as someone with little interest in caves, it was still engaging and informative. Our guide Steve was also very engaging and friendly, while still maintaining professionalism and his duties in keeping everyone safe. I went to the Lucas Cave and while it was cool, it does get warm with all the steps. The ceiling of the caves can be a bit low so if you're on the taller side, do prepare to bend down for parts of the tour, however this is generally a non-issue. To not spoil too much myself (even though there's thousands of pictures already online), the formations look unreal and the light provided really brings out the best.
The way out was quite quick. As the tour ended, it's best to quickly get back to the carpark and perhaps use the toilet ASAP to be able to catch the first set of escorts out. Unsure if this was pure luck or planned though.

Great place to experience. The drive in isn't the easiest but definitely worth it. Plenty of parking.

Went here on a trip with friends in May 2023. We chose to do two caves, the orient cave and imperial cave.
The imperial cave was a wide cave, nice crystal formations but the highlight for me was the underground river the the turquoise water, that was amazing and looked so inviting. Of course no one is allowed to swim in there to preserve its beauty.
The orient cave was truly beautiful. Compared to the orient cave, the crystal and rock formations here are truly stunning. The guide was also very knowledgeable and creative, pointing out formations and what they resembled. The kids on our tour loved that as they were also able to use their creative minds to form images of the formations.
The drive accessing the caves at the moment is long and tedious due to several road works and closures in the area. There is a point where you will be prompted to stop and follow their vehicle down the steep and narrow road drive. There is ample parking in the area.
Overall a very unique experience and I would be happy to check out other caves again (maybe once the road works are completed).

Just gorgeous! There is a cave tour for all skill types. I've done a few over my time but these are photos from the imperial tour. Nice easy one and so worth it. Tour guides are awesome. It's the other guests you have to be concerned about. Kids cannot do these tours alone so don't ask. Courtesy bus to take you to the destination from your car park or you can walk. I suggest walking down and taking the curtesy bus back. Check availability. Its a steep drive in so plan ahead or you will be late. Caves are cool but with the walking I don't think a jumper is necessary. No food in the caves guys come on and do not touch things no matter how much you are tempted. Be respectful. Be conscious of nature. Especially is summer in the Bush walks of the surrounds. You may come across brown snakes like i did and other reptiles. Wear appropriate clothes. It's not a fashion show.

The beautiful place to visit with the family and kids . They have different caves . You can choose the one want to visit. The guide is very helpful and a lot of patience to explain each and every part of the tour . Inside temperature is always 15 degrees all over the year . So you must carry some warm clothes. The shoes are very important to climb the stairs. Definitely recommend this place to visit with your family.

Wonderful experience to witness these natural wonders that were formed 340 million years ago.
Make sure you purchase the tickets especially during school or public holidays as they can be sold out easily.
After being escorted to the car park, you can walk about 500 meters to the Jenolan house and the meeting point for the Caves tour will be just next to it, which looks like a bus stop with a sign saying "Tour meeting point". Right across the small road is the ticket office and souvenir shop.
You just need to be five minutes earlier than the tour starting time, but no harm being much earlier just in case.
In terms of the Cave tour itself, the Chifley Cave tour was amazing. Maddy was so knowledgeable and passionate. And I do agree that pictures are not doing the cave justice as you do need to see it in person. More amazing than photos. Highly recommend, whichever cave tour it is.

Please purchase a tour ticket before you head out there, especially during school holidays and public holidays, seen too many people regret on the long hours drive for not be able to tour the caves.

Amazing trail tracking experience, if you love adventures. A must go place for adults but if you are taking small kids, it would be recommended to take enough caution as the cave floors are slippery and the temperature is 15 degree Celsius all year round. You must pack your necessary sunscreen and anti fly sprays as there are flies all around in summer time. It is recommended to buy tickets online well ahead as it is a top adventure tourist destination.

I had been here as a kid and now as an adult with 3 young children went again, and we all loved it! We toured through the orient caves (Persian, Egyptian, Indian and Temple of Baal) and our tour guide Steve was great. Very informative tour indeed and very kid friendly. Thank you for showing our family a great experience at the great Janolan Caves! Photos do not do the caves justice!

A great tourist attraction, with world class caves in a remarkable setting. Jenolan Caves comprise of a series of incredible and varied caves. Tours are very high quality and there's a variety of tours to suit most ages, though people with poor fitness or very small children may well struggle. But it's 100% worth the visit.

Scenic World, located in Katoomba, is a renowned local establishment run by the Hammon family for three generations. It has evolved into a top-tier attraction of great national importance. Positioned on the escarpment, it boasts the renowned 'Skyway' cable car with an innovative vanishing floor. Additionally, visitors can experience the Scenic Railway, which descends to the valley floor and offers a mesmerizing rainforest boardwalk.
The rides are great. Good thriller.
The newly opened Dinosaur valley. It isn’t super fun for kids but the way it has been portrayed keeps the kids very curious.
There isn’t ample car park after 10AM on weekends however the staff would guide to a comfortable parking location. The food court is good and the wash rooms are clean.
The staffs are super nice and friendly. The cabin drivers renders interesting facts in a very humorous way.
The Dinosaur playground at the entrance wasn’t that enjoyable.

Really never thought much of it until I visited the place. So many things to talk about. The parking is plenty so that's covered. The steak clock right across the entrance is so amazing. The staff in the ticket counter were so friendly in trying to explain the different routes. I used my dine and discover voucher to get a little discount. The blue and the red cable cars were the best in my view. The trail down in the forest was just insane. The massive trees, sounds of nature. All in all what a beautiful experience

Great day out with my little sister.
Not too busy, friendly staff, gorgeous scenery.
Great for a family day out, although if you have a stroller it may be a bit difficult to navigate throughout, nonetheless the majority is wheelchair and stroller accessible.
Bonus points for the food being good too, didn’t wait to long and wasn’t overly expensive.

I visited on a holiday, but fortunately it wasn't crowded.
I purchased the ticket online in advance before visiting, and it was nice that the guide at the entrance put a barcode band on my wrist and explained whole course in detail.
Additionally, I was able to comfortably eat a simple lunch box prepared in advance at the table located in below zone.
I thought that children would like it because there were various types of dinosaurs moving around and making sounds.
It was convenient to follow the deck road course and the guidance was well provided.
I used the cable car on the way up, and after coming up, it was nice to buy gifts at the souvenir shop located at the observatory, and it was also nice to go out and take pictures.

It's a wonderful place for a one day trip with friends and family. They have 3 different rides to cover up all the area in the Scenic World. But the best one was the Scenic Railway 🛤. The angle of 52° makes it crazy while going down, especially when you're sitting on the very first seat!
Staff is very friendly, jolly & helpful. The other two rides are not that crazy but provide the best view of nature's beauty.
We went there quite early, so in the morning the place wasn't that busy. So we were able to ride all three rides without any waiting. But later, around 11am/12pm it started to get crowded, and the waiting time we experienced was around 5 to 10 minutes. More waiting time for train as almost everyone wanted to sit in front seats.

Fifty bucks per head but worth it especially if you use your dine and discover vouchers and get it for $25. The dinosaur walkway is pretty cool. There are actual real dinosaurs there so be careful. Plenty of room and free parking. The staff were all really great especially Lila who said her name was Eric if you didn’t like her. Everything is really clean and the lines moved quite quickly so don’t be put off by long lines.

Great Day activity to do if you’re already planning to visit the blue mountains. We arrived right when it opened and recommend coming early before the crowds. We had about 3 hours before it got busy and we’re able to enjoy most of the trails with minimal other people on a weekend. Buy tickets in advance to skip the queue.
The new dinosaur valley is cute and great for kids if they like Dino’s and learning about them. I would say though there aren’t toilets in the Dino valley so plan accordingly as if you do all the trails could take about hour to hound and half.
We enjoyed riding the railway and sky rail, amazing views! Would recommend riding more than once.
All in all would recommend! It is great to be able to go into the national park as well. It’s also nice to come back and forth to the diner area for breaks if you need time between trails.
Also, highly recommend the chicken food truck out front!

Visited this while on a trip to Sydney. It's way more efficient to buy tickets online, there was a long queue to grab a ticket. Make sure you have full energy to visit here. Less a place for sitting and long waiting for the steep drive and others as well. I've felt this view is a bit overrated, but it was fun visiting. You can experience the magnificent view of the three sisters. A storey of the building is allocated for parking which is free surprisingly in Sydney😄.

This was an amazing experience for the whole family. Usually rides like these are over rated but we found ourselves going back a second and third time.
The scenery is forever spectacular, the friendly service was outstanding and even the food was better than I expected!
This is a must-do for anyone visiting the Blue Mountains, yes, it's a bit expensive but it's worth every cent because at the end of the day you may only do it once!
The whole family, including young kids, will love the entire experience. We spent at least half a day walking around taking the rides and experiencing the scenery.

What a great place for all ages. Although not a physically active person who doesn't do much walking - this place accommodated walks for all abilities. Views are understandably spectacular.

Scenic World is a great place to take the family for an outdoor activity. The coal mining car ride is very cool, but it's a bit short.
The day we went, it was very foggy and drizzling rain. So we didn't get to see the wonder valleys.
There are loads of tails to hike if you're feeling adventurous. You can really make a day of it.
We stopped in the Cafe for a dnack and coffee, which was nice. They have a great selection of themed gift in the gift shop.
The dinosaur spin on it, I believe, is just a marketing spin. I don't think they've found any fossils here.
All the staff were warm and friendly. Service with a smile.
I would recommend and give them five stars.

Lovely place to visit. Plenty of staff & much improved since our last visit probably 20 years ago. We used the skyway, cable car & railway. We thought the raised boardwalk was a great addition, getting us off the forest floor. There were even misting fans to cool us when we had to wait in queues. Well worth the cost for a day pass

It was breathtaking! The view was so amazing and i love the train cable, it was super fun. Felt like u were in a jet coaster ride.
The price was a bit too high for only 3 rides and rainforest walk. Paid $64
Probably would make more sense if it was around $45, The cable was short although the view was sooo splendid.
This place reminds me how wonderful God's work is. Truly magnificent!
The waterfall was so beautiful, the rainforest was interesting. Lots of things to see in the coal mine too.

The big Merino is in the corner of Hume and, Sowerby St, Goulburn NSW. Nicknamed "Rambo" by locals, the Big Merino contains a gift shop on the ground floor and a wool display on the second floor which it was closed at the time I visited the Rambo, not sure about the reason.The Big Merino, built in 1985. Standing 15.2 meters high, 18 meters long and weighing 97 tones at the time of construction. The complex was opened on September 20 1985. Normally it is not busy but the date I visited it was long weekend and school holidays which made it extremely busy.
Lots of restaurants and cafe nearby to dine in.
I loved the gift shop in the ground floor. The gift shop was full of good quality made in Australia specifically made in Goulburn items. I liked the wild Australian animals made with wool section.

An Australian treasure located at the southern end of Goulburn.
There is a big merino gift shop attached to him and from inside the gift shop you can access stairs which take you up inside the sculpture, which is actually hollow. At the top you can look out of his eyes over the town. On the way up, each level is full of the wool industries history.
Great gift shop with lovely staff.

Man, this is one big concrete sheep. I think it's concrete; I confess I didn't go up and eyeball it or touch it. If it is concrete, it is actually a pretty darn impressive sculpture, not merely for it's size but also it's visage. It's... a merino. The gift shop underneath it's behind is stocked with woollen items galore. I am a hankie guy and needed hankies and they had none (I know, I know, you don't get woollen hankies, Paul, and I know this, I was just... hoping because they do sell cloth items).

Famous for the big Marino and home of fine wool. For a beautiful panorama of Goulburn, head to the tower lookout at the Rocky Hill War Memorial and Museum.
A highly recommended stop point if travelling from South to North or North to South. Great township with great food, views, friendly people and a place to make or remember fondest memories.

Goulburn is an amazing town located between Canberra & Sydney.
Belmore Park is in the middle of the town & within walking distance of cafes, restaurants, shopping centres, The Soldiers Club, The Workers Club & other iconic places of Goulburn.
The park has something for everyone!
- a great playground for children
- magnificent gardens with hundreds of plants flowering
- large, huge & unique trees
- picnic tables & chairs
- public toilets
- pathway around the park… be mindful of some of the large tree roots have lifted small sections of the path ie if you have mobility issues and/or a mobility aid
- the gardens & lawn are maintained immaculately

Lovely park in the heart of Goulburn opposite the main street and Goulburn Soldiers Club. Lots of nice walking paths, toilets available and 45 degree angle parking. Nice playground for kids aged 2-10 with ample shade and benches. Playground has swings, seesaws, slides, train structure and a few climbing pieces. There is also a small greenhouse you can visit in the middle of the park.
Collection of historic locomotives, plus passenger & freight cars, with steam train rides.
Took the family on little steam train ride and then visited the museum. It was a lovely day out. Would love to go on another longer steam train ride. The train was gorgeous, the guys had lots of knowledge and were very friendly and funny. What a great day out. You could easily spend 3-4 hours all up. It was great to show my kids the Red Rattler 😁

I'm a regular down here. Such a magnificent place to visit. The great train hall has a very large amount of locos & cars. The indoor display is very good.
The local food & drink options are plentiful. The museum's cafe serves a selection of hot and cold food, and the nearby cafes & eateries are well worth a look
If visiting when an event is running (eg Thomas Day Out), it can get very busy. Otherwise, the crowds are minimal, making for a relaxing outing.

A Wonderful collection of trains, new and old to look at and appreciate. My group is here for the “Day Out with Thomas”. We got to go on the Steam Train ride which I have done before and always enjoyed. It cost $35 which I think is reasonable. There’s good toilet facilities. The only thing is a member of our group couldn’t go on train ride because he was in a wheelchair which was a pity. Overall it was great visit and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, especially for the children.

Good for the entire family. My son (5) loved it. There is a little train ride for free on the grounds, train play equipment and picnic area. Wear appropriate shoes as there is a lot of walking. Interesting to learn about the trains. There is a small Cafe on site but also food to buy across the road.

What a wonderful place to go for train lovers or children on the autism spectrum who love trains. This particular week was the Thomas and friends show. It's a beautiful place located in a lovely town and set out over a large area with a lot of train carriages to walk through and see the changes over the years. Plenty of parking, lots of bathroom facilities and nice Cafe. A lovely train ride on an old steam train and very friendly, helpful staff. A very enjoyable experience.

Had a great Easter Sunday with a steam train trip from central tithe NSW Rail Museum Aston Thirlmere. After the 1.5 hour trip through southwest Sydney we arrived at the museum and had a leisurely stroll through the extensive collection of historical steam trains and related rolling stock. Everything form the first engine over the harbour bridge to the carriage used by the Queen on her first visit to Australia. Good cafe and shop plus plenty for the kids to do. Also close to nearby cafes and the local pub.

Went for the 'Day out with Thomas' experience at the train museum. Absolutely loved it. So well organised. Lots of activities included in your tickets - mini train tides, rides on toby, jumping castles, painting and play areas. My son loves Thomas and he had the best day. Lots of clean toilets and baby change facilities too. The food options could be slightly better, but no significant concerns. Next time maybe I'll pack something from home 😊 100% recommended if your little ones love trains.

What an incredible little adventure at the NSW Rail Museum! The train collection is absolutely mind-blowing, and the history that surrounds it all is just fascinating. It's a perfect outing with your loved ones.
And guess what? The entry fee is just 15 bucks, but let me tell you, every single cent is money well spent. It's like stepping back in time, a real blast from the past. Such an eye-opening experience, and it really makes you appreciate how far technology has come since the last century.🚂🕰️👨👩👧👦

A must visit if you love trains! It’s a well maintained museum with lots of trains and vintage artefacts on display, but I recommend spending more time in the workshop area because you can go inside a few carriages and take photos of the interiors :)
I really enjoyed the 45-min steam train ride (included in the ticket). We visited the museum during non-school holidays and the staff was kind enough to give us our own seating area because the carriage is not full.
They have a cafe inside the museum if you want to have snacks and coffee. I recommend their hot pies, they’re quite tasty.

Great museum for any train and locomotive enthusiasts. Lots of displays of new and old trains within the museum with their history.
The museum is great for toddlers and kids who will find it fascinating and exciting to explore different eras.

The NSW Rail Museum offers a nostalgic journey through time, allowing visitors to relive cherished memories while gaining insights into the rich history of trains. It's a captivating experience that seamlessly blends the past with the present.

We visited for the Thomas the Tank Engine event 🚂
I have to say we were very pleasantly surprised. The organisation was the best we've come across in NSW. There were many helpful, friendly and fun staff working. Everything was a breeze. So many great activities put on for kids including several bouncy castles & play areas. Plus all the facilities you could need.
Our 2 year old loved every minute of it, including exploring all the beautiful old trains in the museum.
We really loved how so many people in the town had put balloons out along the train journey for the kids.
The steam train ride (on Donald) was a highlight!
Can very highly recommend, we'll definitely be back!!
The Grape Escape all the way. Scott and Mira have tailored our wine tours, to us. They take the time to get to know the people who are going on the tour and tailor your needs, wants and likes.

Stunning place to visit! We had booked for lunch and had the most exquisite experience there. Loads of charm sitting amongst the books, near a stunning stone fireplace. This newly purpose built barn venue is packed with attention to detail that instantly immerses you into a great relaxing mood. Great wines and food to simply die for. We had the blue swimmer crab linguini with chilli and garlic and it has become one of the most memorable dishes I've ever had. I cannot recommend this venue enough! It's a must visit!
Joe Salamanca — Google review
Unfortunately we didn't get to eat or have coffee here, as it was fully booked. There were no Reserved notices on the tables though which caused a moment of confusion for all.
The range of books is similar to the Oxford St location, I was actually expecting a fair bit more of the book barn. Overall though it's a very lovely location, and I always enjoy browsing at a Berkelouw.

Absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere at this venue is like something out of a movie. The staff were so helpful in assisting me to find a book I'd been after for a while. The hospitality staff were super accommodating even though they had a wedding on at 3 and we arrived at around quarter past two, they found us a table and whipped up a delicious lunch. I can't recommend this place high enough. Well worth a visit!

Initially I thought there’s a café there, not aware it’s a full fledged restaurant. We were told the dinning space is more like a cafe setting in the morning.
I wish there are more casual sitting space through the day just for coffee/snacks and book browsing.

Family-run vintage & antiques market & a quaint tea room in a renovated building.
A must-see if you’re in Bowral. This isn’t an ordinary antiques store - where a lot of average items is haphazardly piled around, and you have to hunt for things worth buying. Here, everything is artfully and tastefully arranged, and of high quality. Even if you don’t intend to buy anything, it’s worth a walk through, like a museum.
It’s also massive! It just kept going.

Yes, five stars for the tea room tucked away in Dirty Janes. Try a high tea, we couldn’t fit the morsels of delight in. Instead we indulged in a masala chai and I had a large hot chocolate (the sweetness is delicious). And two warm, soft scones with strawberry jam and thick cream (with vanilla). It’s a tiny treasure. And remind yourself to take your time and breathe in the fragrant tea aromas.

This cafe is tucked inside a large antique shop that looks like they have multiple vendors (like a little market place). It is famous in the Bowral area.
The cafe itself is cosy, full of charm, character, with antiques everywhere.
The food was pleasant and the scones were beautiful (not dry or like paste).
The service was professional and polite with an air of the service you might expect from a bnb.
This is a must visit for out of towners.

Wow! I've never seen a bigger antique / thrift shop before. It has a variety of things which everyone can enjoy including antique, local products, jewellery, clothing, furniture as well as plants! They sell both brand new and used items in different shops. They also have staff roaming around if you have any questions about any item. However sometimes it's hard to get information if they aren't familiar with an item especially when the owners of a specific shop aren't there.
They also have a Cafe anjacent to the shops where you can get a nice coffee or food in the middle of browsing. Food was a little bit expensive and average but coffee was good and location is convenient.
I will be happy to come back again some time.

I'm a cricket fan and love the history of cricket. This museum was amazing. It exceeded my expectations. Next time I will spend 3 hours here and read everything that was accompanying the displays. It was an epic feeling to look at the actual bat Bradman used to make his first century against England. They had a ton of memorabilia from important cricket events. It was just so enjoyable.
The staff members were lovely. They are cricket fans as well and you can enjoy a nice chat with them.
The location is perfect at Bradman Oval. Wow. I can't believe that's where Bradman started playing. Make sure you visit his childhood home across the Rd when you go there.
Looking forward to coming again. Thanks a lot

Beautifully laid out and endless information to educate all ages. We loved every minute, wished we had longer to take in the videos and audios. It's a must do if you are visiting Bowral, even if you aren't a big cricket fan. Congratulations to all of those involved with the museum. It's a credit to you all.

Beautiful location,located in the Southern Highlands.
I would highly recommend visiting on a day when the winds are not so bad,as parts were closed which was totally understandable due to safety.
We will go back as we never got down to the falls,however the trails we walked were great.
• Plenty of parking
• I would suggest visiting the Fitzroy Falls visitor centre in the National Park for advice regardless of your fitness level and check the National Parks website for all alerts and relevant information.
• And obviously pack the appropriate gear before heading off and wear the appropriate footwear !

Fairy Bower falls is a short, easy walk not far from the township of Bundanoon. The walk is mostly flat with a decline on the way there and some stairs throughout. The falls themselves are very close by the trail, making this a trail that should only be done in dry weather.
We were lucky enough to see a Lyrebird on our trek as one of the photos I have attached shows.
All in all its a wonderful, easy walk that you shouldn't miss!

You may drive by it on the way to the pie shop but take a moment. Park nearby and embrace its mythical like nature as you tread on holy ground.
Though you can't go inside it anymore and experience the traumatic life of a potato, it still has a magnetism to it.
Knock on the covered doors and you'll meet Gregor, the town's potato and lower back tattooist specialist. He'll give you the the most realistic TBP tattoo you'll ever have. Really adding to this must see destination.

In the quaint town of Robertson, nestled in the lush green hills of Australia, stands a monumental and mysterious structure known as the Big Potato. This colossal potato, unlike any other, has a story that transcends time and defies the imagination.
Millions of years ago, during the late Mesozoic Era, the land that is now Robertson was a thriving habitat for dinosaurs. These gigantic creatures roamed the earth, and among them was a species that had a peculiar dietary preference for enormous, nutrient-rich tubers that grew in abundance in this prehistoric paradise.
As the eons passed, the dinosaurs became extinct, but one of these massive tubers managed to survive. It was no ordinary potato; it was imbued with an uncanny resilience and an ability to withstand the test of time. This tuber, through a miraculous twist of nature, slowly petrified, turning into a stone-like relic, preserving its potato form for ages to come.
Centuries flew by, and the land evolved, but the petrified potato remained hidden, buried deep beneath the surface. It was not until the early 20th century, during an unprecedented excavation in Robertson, that this prehistoric relic was unearthed. The discovery baffled scientists and locals alike. How could a potato of such an immense size exist, and what were its origins?
The Big Potato, as it came to be known, quickly became a symbol of Robertson, attracting curious visitors from all over the world. It stands today as a unique testament to the town's deep-rooted connection to a time when dinosaurs walked the earth, and as a reminder of the mysteries that our planet still holds.
Thus, the Big Potato of Robertson is not just an oversized vegetable statue; it is a relic from an era long gone, a silent witness to the age of dinosaurs, and a cherished icon that connects the present to the mysteries of the ancient past.

This is quite possibly the most hilarious big thing I’ve seen yet. I feel like a lot more effort could have been put into this than there was. However happy to have ticked it off the big things I’ve seen list. Haha.

Hopefully the good people of Robertson have a sense of humour because the Big Poo-tato is the funniest ’big’ thing ever and will be the ‘butt’ of many jokes for years to come.
Worth stopping for a laugh and a photo if you’re in the area, but wouldn’t make a special trip.
That said, it is situated in a great little town in a beautiful part of the NSW Southern Highlands surrounded by stunning rural properties and magnificent scenery.

🎟️ The big potato is the hottest ticket in town. That’s right it’s one hot potato!
🥔 The big potato is smack bang in the middle of Robertson. Slow down or you will mash it.

This Botanic Garden has good amenities and easy to find a car park.
Obviously it has many toilets and a small playing ground for kids.
The walking path is very easy to access it either walking or by a wheelchair.
The garden has a wide range of flowers, plants, birds, trees, etc…. Some of them are uniques 🤩
Also this garden has several picnic spots and plenty seats. Some people prefer to sit on the beautiful grass there …
You can walk and choose which path you want to follow. The majority of them can be walked by kids. I would say 3 - 4 years old.
The garden is nice and safe for families and kids.
Toilets are clean and accessible by wheelchairs.
Everything here is really good.
Soon after you walk in, you will find a bookcase to read or to exchange books. That is a nice idea 👏👏
I have been there a few times, I always see families, small kids, artists, and some couples taking pictures mainly for weddings 💐 💍
Overall, I am happy to go there and I recommend visitors and locals to enjoy the Wollongong Botanic Garden 🌹🏵️🌸🌷🌺🍀🌻🌴🌿🍃🌱🌵🌳🍂🍁🌾🪷🕊️🦆🦜🦢🦃🦉🦤🎋🏝️🌴🏞️

Great place to stroll around and check out the different sections. Rose garden is always great when in bloom. The favourite for kids is the duck feeding and the play area.
Toilets clean near entrance to play area/coffee van.
Better toilets are up near the cactus area. It has shelter and tables to sit at... much needed for little ones to rest their legs
Only thing needed is a couple of bins along the main paths

Great set up, many small areas to explore and varietals. The sculptures in the gardens provided an excellent medium to fully explore the ground.

We enjoyed the visit from Sydney to Wollongong it only took us 1 hour and 30mins weekend getaway for a stroll. Plenty of parking space .The garden is well looked after. Plenty of seats/bench in the area just in case you get tired. Great place to have a picnic with family.

I love this place so much. Spring is a great time to go because everything is beginning to bloom! There are quiet places to just sit and watch, there are places to play with the kids and places to curl up under a tree and read a book.
This is the ideal location for a picnic or a gathering with friends and family. There is a play area for the little ones and each section of the garden has different flora and fauna. Can't recommend this place enough!

Photographers, prepare to be mesmerized by the Botanic Gardens! With it's vibrant and diverse plant life, along with photogenic bird sightings, this place offers an abundance of stunning photo opportunities. You can easily lose track of time here, spending hours or even a whole day exploring.
Families will especially enjoy their visit, as the friendly ducks eagerly await your kids' offerings of halved grapes, providing entertainment for hours. There are ample seating options and picnic spots scattered throughout the gardens. Don't forget to bring a water bottle, as bubblers might not always be conveniently located on your path. Sun protection is a must, although you'll find plenty of shady spots to cool off.
For a quick refreshment, a small coffee truck awaits, offering drinks and snacks. Overall, the Botanic Gardens exude a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere, complete with the delightful fragrance of various plants. It's a must-visit destination for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike!

A small but lovely botanical garden that is great for a stroll or picnic. There is a nice playground for kids and lots of beautiful plants to admire.
The Wollongong Head lighthouse, also known as Flagstaff Point Lighthouse, was built with reinforced concrete in 1936 and still remains operational. The area surrounding the lighthouse is well-maintained and offers stunning views of the coast. Cove Beach, located nearby, is a family-friendly destination while North Wollongong Beach attracts both families and surfers due to its vastness.
A fabulous look out place in Wollongong, the place is brilliantly maintained, parking can be a bit challenging during weekends though. The lighthouse is very close to Cove beach which is super kid friendly and North Wollongong beach is ideal for family and surfers, the vastness and expanse of the beach will surely be a treat.

The Flagstaff Point Lighthouse in Wollongong is an absolute gem of a landmark that is not to be missed. Perched atop a rocky outcrop overlooking the stunning Wollongong coastline, this lighthouse is a true masterpiece of engineering and design.
As you make your way up the winding path to the lighthouse, you'll be struck by the beauty and tranquility of the surrounding landscape. The crystal-clear waters of the Pacific Ocean stretch out before you, while the sound of waves crashing against the rocks below creates a soothing and calming atmosphere.
Once you reach the top, the views are simply breathtaking. The panoramic vistas of the ocean, the city, and the surrounding hills and cliffs are simply stunning. You'll feel like you're on top of the world, taking in the natural beauty of Wollongong from a bird's-eye view.
The lighthouse itself is a marvel of engineering and design. Built in the late 1800s, it is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the engineers and workers who built it. The lighthouse's bright white exterior and red roof stand out against the blue sky and sea, making it a striking and unforgettable sight.
Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply looking for a peaceful and serene place to relax and unwind, the Flagstaff Point Lighthouse is an absolute must-visit. It's a true gem of Wollongong that will leave you feeling inspired and rejuvenated.

Beautiful place 😊 you will fall in love with the beautiful scenery around. A well placed lighthouse we stopped there just to take a break and realised this is one of the nice cities in Sydney. I think around 1.5hrs drive from Sydney but well equipped with all the amenities. We were not able to roam around much due to hail storm but would definitely like to go again.

Has some great free diving off the point when the seas permit.

Wollongong, Australia boasts a unique coastal feature: two lighthouses. The Breakwater lighthouse, though inactive since 1974, stands 40 feet tall with a tapered wrought iron tower and lantern. Contrastingly, the Flagstaff Hill lighthouse remains active and is characterized by its all-white structure. Nestled on Wollongong Harbour's Flagstaff Hill, the location holds historical significance as a point Captain James Cook passed in 1770. The serene atmosphere and tourist-friendly appeal make it a must-visit spot. The juxtaposition of the two lighthouses and the rich historical narrative add to the charm of this peaceful destination.

Flagstaff Point Lighthouse is a popular tourist destination, offering stunning views of the Brisbane River, Moreton Bay, and the surrounding city skyline. The lighthouse is also home to a small museum, which tells the story of the lighthouse and its keepers.
The lighthouse is open to the public on weekends and public holidays. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower for panoramic views of the city and surrounding area. The museum is also open on weekends and public holidays.

Flagstaff Point Lighthouse is a beautifully maintained lighthouse, and the area is so peaceful compared to back in the early days...
The Lighthouse was construction in the mid 1930s by the department of shipping and transport to guide maritime traffic into Port Kembla Harbour and was the first fully automatic flashing lights White and Red...
This area of Wollongong was the site of military barracks in 1829 to 1834 with 300 convicts constructing the first harbour at Wollongong, which was housed in a stockade on the headland...
In 1890, the concrete hole used to house a 5.3 tonne 6" gun that was mounted above an underground fortification
next to Flagstaff Lighthouse...
Here, these days are lucious green grass with great picnic seating while you relax with the beautiful views over the Tasman Sea. Well worth your time to visit this area of Wollongong.

The lighthouse and the views from the hill are pretty cool, except for the fact that you can see many factories next to the beach. If you are at the lighthouse, you can take a quick walk down a rocky staircase, the larger beach on that side of the hill is where you want to be.

A serene heavenly Mahayana temple. This place is really beautiful and calm in every way. There’s few places of worship inside.
Wearing long clothes advised as people with short tops or shorts are not allowed inside the worshipping places.
You can buy incense, flowers,
Candles, fruits as offerings.
It’s just beautiful place, a must visit.
Some of the stairs are under renovation.

Beautiful Temple!
Helpful team to answer questions on making offerings and rituals.
We took fruit that we washed and made offerings, we were told we can either leave or take to eat for blessings. We decided to eat as snacks while enjoying a walk through the gardens.
You can also purchase small gift sets of offerings to take home. Personally we loved the bracelets and the water in the sets, there was also some rice grains we will cook and eat.
Must visit this beautiful Temple, allow time as it can get busy on weekends.

This Buddhist temple complex in Berkeley is a serene and culturally rich place to visit. It has beautiful Chinese-inspired architecture with a palace, a museum, and prayer halls. The Japanese-style gardens are a lovely addition, and there's also the Nan Tien Institute of Higher Education on the premises.
If you're looking for a bite to eat, there's a Chinese cafe that serves traditional food. Don't miss trying their avocado drink; it's a unique treat.
This complex offers a peaceful and clean environment, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and contemplation. Just remember to dress appropriately as it's a religious place. It's a great destination for a meaningful and peaceful visit. 🌳☸️🏯

Great place to be, it's what you expected. The food are really good, if you're vegan or vegetarian, the choices will make you go crazy!! Highly recommended. Having said that, it's 4 stars instead of 5 because the quality of the services at restaurants are not great. They can't even tell what ingredients in the food. If you tell them your kids have allergies in certain food (for example peanut), their response was simply "it's best you don't have ANY of their food". This actually happened last week. One of the stall staff during the lunar new year event even just says, "if you're having Asian food, you should expect peanut in it!", which I also strongly disagreed. Anyway, hopefully there'll be improvement in the future.

The largest Buddhist temple in Sydney. Found in the beautiful suburb of Wollongong, you'll find yourself in a place that promotes stillness and silence.
It's quite a large property you can roam freely on mindfulness. Visit the large pagoda where you can take calligraphy classes or make an offering to the Buddha. Walk up the grounds to the mindfulness bell and ring a sound for peace ✌🏾 nearby the Shakyamuni statue that sits above. Done at the Dew Drop Inn, eating light and refreshing vegetarian food full of love and flavors. All in all, be in the present moment and enjoy the surroundings, nature, and the presence of those you are with. Light and Aloha 🙏🏽🤙🏽

A must see... The whole place is so serene and the people are lovely. Word of warning if you wish to enter the temples, no thigh high skits or shorts that don't cover the knees. Also must wear closed toe shoes. Photos are not permitted inside the temple but the surrounding grounds are great for some beautiful pictures ...I bought a tea cup and some literature paraphernalia and my friend bought a partial tea set.. the latter can be cheap or expensive depending what you like but they have some beautiful pieces and teach you the art of tea ceremonies. I think they accept volunteers...maybe I'll see you there one day ...make a donation to support help support these lovely people

The festival featured especially vegetarian food options 🍜, captivating performances—mostly traditional Chinese dance—and an opportunity to explore different parts of the precinct. This included the Chinese gardens, the gratitude bell, the calligraphy hall, and the pagoda, among others.

Beautiful place, so peaceful and vibrant. The peaceful temple is surrounded by beautiful gardens and stunning grounds.
From the lookout we walked up to the start of Hoddles Track. It can get very misty up there as the nor easter blowing up the mountain condenses into cloud. Thankfully we had a sunny day.
The Track is very steep to begin with and the western end is a very steep climb up but it levels out in the middle. Beautiful forest environment awaits the eager walker for about 6kms return. Take food and drink. Very good new toilet facilities.

The most striking aspect of Clover Hill is its panoramic views. On one side, the majestic mountains stand tall, their peaks often kissed by clouds, offering a sense of grandiosity and awe. On the other, the serene sea extends to the horizon, its rhythmic waves providing a calming soundtrack to the area’s natural beauty. The contrast between the imposing mountains and the peaceful sea creates a harmonious balance that is rare and enchanting.
Equally charming is the sight of cows grazing leisurely on the lush green fields of Clover Hill. The pastoral scenes are a reminder of the simple, unhurried pace of life here, far removed from the bustle of urban settings. The cows add a touch of bucolic bliss to the landscape, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking to reconnect with nature.

Beautiful lookout, parking is close by and the views are spectacular.
Came here with a group on motorcycles and was able rescue a young lady who'd gone through the parking barrier and was teetering on sliding down into the bush off a cliff. Luckily we were able to push the car back uphill and everyone left happy. We tried to put the barrier back but could only do so much.
Long story short, be careful in the parking area as the soft ground means you will push through barrier if going the wrong way.
Otherwise a very lovely lookout with some nice nature surrounds.

It's free, peaceful and beautiful.

Hidden adventure here for older kids!
Turned up after reading the reviews expecting a nice time but less excitement with teens.
However there are two "walks" that are much more adventurous than a paved path as you climb up through rock crevices, into caves, up and down ladders and it was great! Although not animal related it is a great extra to this entry. Definitely come wearing good shoes. Everyone loved it. Not suitable for small kids so perhaps why this hadn't been mentioned in other reviews.
The zookeeper chats were all fun and we all enjoyed getting to touch various animals.
Really worth a visit.

They made my son, who was a bit wary of heights (9 years old) feel so at ease and completed stages of the course I don't think he would have if they weren't there. Check in was so easy as well as we had booked online. We will definitely be going again.

Lovely family zoo. Make the effort to attend one of the animal shows so you get an opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the animals.....touch, hold and even have personal photos with the animals for $10 each animal or $30 for photos with 4 different animals. We had family photos with a baby alligator, koala, python snake and a small possum.

We were so lucky to find this place. No one around us knew this place and I wasn’t so sure about it. It was amazing!
Not too big and not too small for my kids, the age btw 5 and 10yo. The entry fee was reasonable plus we were able to use discovery vouchers. Some of parts were under construction but still a lot to see. It will be even more fun for tree top adventurers.

I loved that unlike other zoos this one is not over crowded, a vast number of animals and a beautiful location next to the lake.
The place itself needs a bit of pampering, but the animals seem very happy and well looked after.
All the staff was friendly and the reptile show was educative and fun.

What a great Zoo. Such beautiful surroundings for the many animals. Wonderful koala, snake and lizard encounter. But make sure you take plenty of $1 coins to feed the tiny monkeys a nut. The zoo is situated in a very beautiful and natural setting. The adventure park next door looks fantastic. We had a great time here.

Great zoo with friendly and informative staff, easy to get around and lots of interesting animals. Particularly loved the lions, the monkeys (And the option to feed them a nut through the little dispenser) and watching them crack it open, as well as the petting zoo (baby bunnies) and the meerkats.
We were fortunate enough to see the keepers feeding, cleaning and interacting with the animals. All the animals appeared to be relaxed, clean and well cared for with big open spaces. The kids had an amazing time.

This was our second visit to Shoalhaven zoo. Such a great regional zoo. We saw lizards, koalas, crocodiles and lions among many others. Really great keeper shows also. The cafe has a great range of food and drinks. Highly recommended.

An amazing zoo to visit to pass 1-2 hours easy! A great spot for the whole family, a great cafe and spot for babies/toddlers to play and be secure. The zoo also had a decent amount of animals to see and touch. Highly recommend this zoo!

Had such a great time at shoalhaven zoo over this Easter holidays. We decided to do the VIP tour and the Aussie tour and they where both so amazing. Would definitely recommend doing them both and spending the day at this zoo! The staff are super nice, knowledgeable and helpful also!
I actually had to cancel my booking because of a personal matter and no longer needed the Cabin. The staff were so helpful, they replied to my email very quickly and they gave me a full refund.
It was so helpful as I was already under a lot of stress, Narelle made me feel so calm and she was very happy to help and answered all my questions. If I ever need or want to stay in Kiama, this is where I will be booking. Highly recommend!!

It was great. We had the beachside cabins and it was gorgeous. But missing one star because of how close the unpowered site was near us and couldn’t sleep coz we could hear everything.

I stayed at these cabins for 2 nights and boy was it the most amazing experience ever !
I have had the most amazing time with my family and amenities were top tier. I couldn’t have asked for better staff and the commitment they make to go over and beyond to make your stay 100/10.
These individual who work here deserve an applaud for all their hard work and amazing memories they provide. Couldn’t ask for a better team of individuals.
I couldn’t recommend this place enough so get onto their website and book you amazing holiday !

Would Recommend
Just stayed for 3 nights over the busy Summer December period and it was very enjoyable compared to reading previous reviews from visitors.
Slept like a seaside baby with no issue of noise coming from the looped road. Our cabin was right at the road point for the rock pool and I couldn’t hear cars driving past with the window closed.
There was an air conditioner unit in the main area and a fan in each of the bedrooms and one in the main area, all items working together kept us cool.
The self serve/clean style of the cabin on checkout was easy enough to follow. They supplied us plenty of fresh bedding , towels, bath room supplies and toilet paper. The kitchen also came stocked with cleaning items and products.
Downside
The door was a bit heavy and tricky to close, but reception said they had a locksmith coming to fix.
Upside
They have a very nice BBQ attached to the deck which is modern and easy to operate.
All in all would recommend, and definitely will be booking again come next summer.

For years, coming down to Kiama.
I always said.... I'm going to stay in 1 of them cabins one day... Well I'm here.... I really do love the location it's great, our cabin is spacious. But there are a couple of things that really stood that I didn't like.
1. The fly screens in the rooms only half covered the windows, which meant we couldn't have the windows open
2. The amount they charge, I really didn't mind paying, but the least they could do is supply guests with something better then 1 ply toilet paper
Last but not least,
Now I understand that these are clean it yourself cabins.
But someone that works here really should be going through the cabins at least once a week to dust. The photos I posted are the blinds in my room. And windows with cobwebs
Even though these are only minor details,
These are the things I noticed straight away
BUT..... Other than that, I really enjoyed my stay. I would come back again

Stay here for 3 night . Great location and great cabins. Clean, all the amenities you need great set up . Only down fall
Is the road that runs i front of the cabins Rw used as a drag race at night by the most noisy cars and bikes . So nearly impossible to get a good nights sleep. As the park owned by council they could fix it with speed hump or something to reduce the noise . Other than that a great place to
Stay , and we'll set up to be able to cook etc .

Loved the location. Most (but not all) cabins have great views. Can walk up to diggies for a morning coffee or afternoon cocktail, the ocean pool is also close. The walk into town isn't too bad, although we mostly drove. The wi fi here is terrible. They promote netflix but the internet is so poor it doesn't work. Don't rely on the internet for anything! We bought our own toilet paper, the supplied toilet paper is terrible. The cabins have most things you need, eg a variety of plate sizes, bowls, glasses etc. No dishwasher. The spa bath and shower were separate which I was grateful for. The washing machine and dryer were in the bathroom. Toilet was separate. We stayed 8 nights and while we know there isn't daily service I would have thought after maybe 4 or 5 nights new linen, towels especially, would have been offered. We found the living area really needed a lamp. Enjoyed the deck and own BBQ. Found the cabins to be quiet. Overall, id stay again.
emma jones — Google review
My husband and I stayed here recently. The cabins are in a great location and equipped with everything you need and the grounds were lovely, and well maintained. We had a beautiful water front view. Whilst the cabin we were given was reasonably clean, I was disappointed with the following:
* There were about 1/2 dozen floor tiles broken/cracked and very grubby on the verandah and just inside the front door as you enter the cabin.
* Unfortunately the lock on the screen door couldn’t be locked.
* The lounge has seen better days too. It was quite uncomfortable and very dirty and smelly.
These above issue are so easily rectified, which would have made our stay more enjoyable.

We had a wonderful stay here. Our cabin was huge and well-laid out. The use of space was very well thought out and perfectly-appointed; anything and everything you could need was there for you. We had an incredibly comfortable and relaxing stay here. The staff were lovely - friendly, upbeat and helpful :) Would highly recommend staying here while in Kiama. We would stay again and for longer, too!
Katherine Cateris — Google review
Great location, clean and well maintained. Easy access to gorgeous walks and views, the blowhole,
the Main Street just 10 mins easy walk and also the station. Amazing rock pool across the road. A tad disappointed with the motel like room we got appointed.
This was a tiny motel like cabin but priced the same as the larger accomodation which was a bit unfair. Receptionist cold and unsupportive.
Lighting made the property look cheap and not warm and inviting
No soft lighting ! All white tube lights
This popular blowhole along the coastline at Kiama Harbour can spray water up to 25m in the air.
This place is a common tourist attraction in south coast due to its historical background.
The local council in Kiama is doing a great job to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of the environment in this area.
I visited this place many times bringing relatives and friends from overseas.
The blowhole is a unique type of natural phenomenon that only the gravitical science can explain.
Its beautiful to watch during high tide.
If you are new to Sydney, don’t miss to visit Kiama lighthouse.
Kiar Muri — Google review
What a lovely spot. The blow hole is here too. You can see all up and down the coast from here. There are toilets, really good visitor centre with souvenirs and a cafe. I was here in off peak so wasn’t busy but imagine it would be in the holiday season.
Shez H — Google review
A beautiful scenic spot with a fabulous lighthouse and the added bonus of a famous blow hole!
The views from Kiama lighthouse are truly breathtaking, and they get even better if you're lucky enough to be there for sunset. You'll also see whales depending on the time of year (though you'll need binoculars).
There is loads of green space to sit on, as well as countless rock areas to crawl around and explore, and numerous benches to sit.
The blowhole is fun, but not that much of an attraction unless you're lucky enough to be there on a day where the sea is rough and active enough to get it off big and often. All of the areas around the blowhole are fenced off for safety reasons.
There is loads of parking available for free, which is a huge plus.
Duncan McArdle — Google review
I visited here on a weekday during the school holidays. It's a tourist spot. Parking is always full, but the wait time isn't that long to get a spot. There is plenty of green space too if you want to enjoy a picnic with spectacular views. There are toilets and a couple of places to grab something to eat. All within walking distance. The blowhole was shy the time I went, but from the previous times, it always puts on a show. Go on the rocks at your own risk.
Miss Chanel — Google review
Kiama is such a beautiful tranquil place to visit. As an early 80's baby I was born in Kiama hospital so I have a special bond with this gorgeous coastal town.
From the iconic terrace shops, to the Pink post office, Kiama lighthouse and the Kiama blowhole... it's the ultimate coastal town to visit.
While you are in Kiama ensure that you visit The Kiama Lolly and Gift shop plus the Visitors centre.
If it's good food you are after the Hungry Monkey never disappoints!

Beautiful location for a picnic. It’s got something for everyone from kids to families to youngsters to couples. Loved the walk to the waters edge through the rocks (closed toe shoes with good grip highly recommended). The blowhole was mesmerising. The area has ample parking and restaurants. Can easily spend a day walking around the area. Best done on a sunny day.
Jimit Patel — Google review
The Kiama lighthouse mountain area is a perfect winter getaway. The sunny days and clear skies make for stunning views of the mountains and the ocean. There are not much activities to enjoy, A small town atmosphere is charming and inviting.
Pros:
Amazing views
Perfect sunny winter weather
Plenty of activities to enjoy
Charming small town atmosphere
Cons:
Can be crowded during peak season
Some activities, such as hiking, can be challenging
Overall:
This is a great place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. If you're looking for a winter getaway with stunning views and plenty of activities to enjoy, this is the place for you.
Abhishek Sahu — Google review
Very fun place. There are just infinite things to do. You can walk on the towering rocks near the cliff and be amazed at the amazing scenery, you can go to the blowholes and watch the absolutely breathtaking water go up in a massive gust, or you can go on a walk on the rocks and go to the lighthouse, and get an astonishing view and some cool photos! I've attached some photos and videos below.
As a bonus, you get a photo of my cat 😺

Sadly, only visiting and viewing from the outside is available at The lighthouse.
The view from Kiama Blowhole point is stunning year around. Also aligned directly adjacent to the big blowhole which can provide entertainment to the public.

A must see. Kiama is well worth the trip from Sydney. Very windy at the headland but the walkway to the blowhole and around the lighthouse is very well maintained. The deep boom sound of the spray from the blowhole was unexpected and loud. I arrived on a Friday and found parking easily and was free. There is a toilet next to the information centre.
John Kyle — Google review
This landmark is a wonderful vantage point in Kiama. If you are ever in the area you need to make sure to stop by. Just below the lighthouse you can also find the blowhole which is quite a spectacle. There are toilets nearby, gentle slopes with beautiful views -suitable for picnics- and it's close to waterfront restaurants.

We were there on a rainy afternoon. It was a pretty place but quite crowded. There were lots of people around. The view is lively looking across the rocks and coves.
The lighthouse is quite small and closed. If you are an avid lighthouse chaser it is worth a visit.
There are facilities and a kiosk close by and some parking.
As part of a visit to the town and blow hole it is a. Nice addition.

It was a little bit disappointing that I visited during a drizzling day and couldn't see the beautiful view of Kiama Lighthouse area properly.
Centered around the lighthouse, the waves on both sides of the beach and the beautiful trees were spectacular.
Moreover, the waves coming from the blowhole were beyond imagination.
Parking is easy and there is a restroom at entrance.
Jae Jung Choi — Google review
We didn't originally intend to stop here. It was on our travel planner as a "if you have time, try and see this sight". However, I am so glad we went 8 minutes out of way from the highway, and would highly recommend stopping here. The views were incredible and, unlike many lookouts, there were several points and heaps of space from which to enjoy the view. Even though it was super busy when we went there, at no point did it feel crowded. The blowhole itself was also fantastically entertaining, and honestly really consistent! If you're really wanting to get that picture-perfect photo or slowmo video, you really only have to wait every 7-10 swells for a big one to come along.
While we didn't partake in these, there were heaps of walking tracks and picnic spots if you have time for a longer stop. And the main street we drove down to get to the lookout was bustling with parks and cafes and shops.
There was also a cafe at the top of the hill right near the lighthouse, and the public toilets there were some of the most clean and well-kept I've ever seen. Perfect if you need a moment on a long journey.
Highly recommended, and would absolutely tell friends and go back myself.
Had a great afternoon of wine tasting with Robbie who explained each selection very well. Lovely location. Fantastic views. Enjoyable cheese platter. Came away with a lovely selection

My partner and I booked a tasting here on a Sunday on the recommendation of friends. We did the premium wine tasting ($25 pp) with cheese board. Easily the best tasting experience in the Southern Highlands for us this weekend. Robbie hosted our wine tasting and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed the Rose, Sunday Afternoon, Shiraz Cabernet and Barrel Select. The white Fortified was also excellent. We bought a case of wine and would definitely return. Worth the visit!!!

Absolutely gorgeous property. Amazing views and super friendly staff. We didn’t have a booking for tasting but they were so accommodating. I was served by Ted and an Irish guy ( sorry can’t remember the name) both very friendly and professional and very knowledgeable. I tried all the wines and absolutely delicious! The viognier wine really stood up for me especially because I always prefer reds. Truly aromatic and lovely body wines!

We booked a tasting here on whim and we're so glad we did. The property is gorgeous with stunning views and plenty of parking is available on site. The staff were friendly, helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. We also had a cheese platter which whilst simple was very tasty and paired well with the wine. The wine was stunning, so smooth and flavoursome. We've done tastings at wineries all over Australia and whilst we've purchased bottles here and there, we've rarely felt compelled to actually join any kind of club. We did here though, we are now looking forward to another 6 bottles every three months. Highly recommended.

Nice views, it was late when we got there and only one man doing tasting , so he was flustered with 3 couples, but yet still nice. He was knowable about the wines. 10$ each for tasting and that doesn't or even particial come off bottles purchased. (Which I find bad business, as we go to many wineries, and if you make purchases, it comes off.. I understand why they do it and don't complain when charged...but even $5 off a bottle good!)
It is dog friendly!!! Big YES!!
Only the rose is from the grapes grown on site...bloody delicious though!

Two of us had the best time here! We stopped off on a road trip from Melbourne and the staff were so friendly and chatty. The wine was delicious and the cellar door was a delightful light filled room sheltered from the cloudy weather with a gorgeous look out onto the vineyard and the water. Will definitely stop by again the next time we’re in the area. Thank you for a lovely visit

We first visited Two Figs winery in 2012 and were stunned by the beautiful views of the Shoalhaven river from their cellar door. We were also very impressed by the quality of their wine and the friendliness of the staff. We joined their wine club immediately and have been regular customers ever since. We have never been disappointed with their wine and highly recommend it. It is also well worth a visit to their beautiful cellar door.

One of the nicest views at a winery as it overlooks Shoalhaven River. The staff were very friendly and its always good having passionate staff that love their wine too. Lovely wine and we had such a good time that we also signed up to their subscription, for 6 wines every 3 months. Would recommend.

This was a last-minute decision that became a beautiful wine and sunset experience. The location is stunning with views of the Shoalhaven River. Timing it for the sunset ensures stunning scenery pics. The wine is very good, I loved the Rosé we had a tasting experience with cheese platters, which we really enjoyed. Staff were lovely, and wine descriptions were great. We purchased some wine and went outside to enjoy the view from the benched seated area. I would highly recommend it.

I went here with my boyfriend. We got the premium wine tasting - which was amazing. We even tried some extra wines because it was a quiet day. We had the cheese plate which is 32 dollars.

My partner and I really struck the jackpot, what a beautiful day, no winds, blue skies, calm seas and a happy crowd. Dolphins would be the bonus. The vessel was roomy and had great seating and viewing areas and was very comfortable as we started our search for Dolphins. The cruising was great very relaxing, after about an hour we found a pod of dolphins and again we were blessed. A large pod had mustered up a huge school of fish and as the fish boiled the water surface dolphins took their turns at getting their fill. We stayed and watched for a while and then started heading for Huskisson harbour, our vessel was quickly escorted by several dolphins for ages, a pleasure to watch. Even our puppies were able to join us for the outing. Good value for money, the other cruises also look fun.

We did the 2 hour bay passage tour, smaller crowd but so much more to see and learn about around the whole bay. We went in afternoon and even with a a bit of swell, the smaller boat was able to venture into the smaller beaches and hidden bays all the way around to the Navy base. Dean and Jack were relaxed, professional and informative. We saw a huge pod of dolphins without having to compete for space around the boat aswell. Not sure its for smaller kids as they might get bored easily not appreciating the landscape and being on the confined surroundings for 2 hours. Glad we chose to do this cruise instead of the huge crowded dolphin one. Take a bottle of water to quench your thirst and the undercover is brilliant to still feel the sea spray on your face.

Great adventure and such adrenaline rush. Wonderful and friendly crew. The captain was great and all other staffs. You enter with your booking details and it’s pram friendly as well since we had an infant with us. Some food options too but food will be the last thing in your mind while on sea. Great facilities if you feel sick and ample number of life jackets. Sadly for us, the sea was very rough that day and we couldn’t find any whales. The captain couldn’t risk to go further into the sea. Great experience with no result but will definitely go back with the team❤️

From start to Finish just superb
Was a very windy day but staff were very reassuring and cared for us
Winter time and we seen 8 whales
2 close enough for pictures but honestly you need to watch with your eyes not through your camera lenses.
Ride back was fab!!!
Assured us we were safe so we stayed in top deck and was magical….

Oh my goodness! Excellent experience in everyway on our whale watching cruise.
We saw 4 whales, dolphins & a random seal. We were a family of 5. With kids 10 y.o; 3 y.o and 4 months. It was a very large boat with places to sit inside in the shade and two levels to sit on up top. Bring a hat for all! Also Recommended taking a baby carrier for little ones; so your hands are free to help you move around the boat.
The staff are absolutely amazing. Kristy is a legend and so was our skipper of the day. All lovely people. Can even enjoy a beer on the boat.

High quality dolphin watch cruise and drift netting experience 🐬. This cruise offered breathtaking views of the Jervis Bay coastline and we were lucky enough to have many dolphins join us during the cruise. The drift netting was fun and something I'd strongly recommend to complete your Jervis Bay Wild experience 🙂

Enjoyed our afternoon out on the water.
Friendly and cheerful tour guide/captain who shared some tidbits about both whales and dolphins and managed to find a couple of each for us to appreciate out in the open water.
Took us back in along the shore line and pointed out afew of the local beaches and shared some local knowledge as well in regards to the area.
My only regret was not being quick enough to capture the wildlife in film.
Thank you for the experience 😊

It was an amazing experience, hands down one of the best things I've done. Our viewing was severely restricted due to an ongoing naval exercise in the area, however the effort and passion of the captain & crews were amazing and in the end we did manage to see some Whales.
The captain even exceeded the tour timing just so that we could see the whales longer, since the whales only came out nearing the end while we were heading back. We were all really appreciative of his gesture.
On top of that, the captain's commentary is really funny and he has a great sense of humour. We were enjoying the boat ride thanks to him even though the first part was wet and gloomy due to the weather and not being able to see any whales.

We went to the passage tour as it is not a whale season ATM. This tour is a smaller group than dolphins and whale watching tour but it was nice and not crowded.

Chill weekend place. Better go with family time watch dolphins and boom netting. Boom netting is just for 10/15min, and rest we watch Dolphins and enjoy dolphins cruiser
Dolphin Watch Cruises Jervis Bay offers a 90-minute cruise that takes visitors into the heart of Jervis Bay to search for its 100 resident bottlenose dolphins. While dolphin sightings are not guaranteed, the chances of spotting them from a boat are higher than from the shore. The tour provides educational value as well, with informative commentary about Jervis Bay from the captain. Additionally, passengers can enjoy fantastic ocean views during the cruise.
Great cruise, nice and slow to allow us to enjoy the view of the bay. Captain was informative. We didn't see the dolphins on the first trip and was able to return 2 day later and saw the dolphins then. The dolphins swam right up to the boat for great photos.

We had a great time on the dolphin cruise. Unfortunately, there were no dolphins out and about on the day we went, but mother nature is impossible to predict. Please ignore any reviews that complain that there are no dolphins. It's a great outing whether the dolphins decide to come out or not. The boat trip with commentary around the bay is a great outing in its own right.

Cruise is good, we have done it twice now and both the times We were lucky enough to see a big pod of dolphins. At least for an hour time they keep spotting and following dolphins. Only thing to keep in mind is, reach the venue to start cruise atleast 30 minutes prior because pier from where cruise leaves is little walk from the booking shop.

A very entertaining boat ride, with a very concise commentary by the captain about the dolphins, also the knowledge of the habits of the dolphins. It was very entertaining with the lowering of the net on the rear of the boat so people can get refreshed from the waves. A very good boat ride.

We had an advance booking, came here, waited for half an hour at the site where it had a big fat board that said cruise at 11.30 am.. only to learn at 11.30 that it departs from another Wharf. Had called them twice before but they never attended to the calls on 4441 6311. Visited their office at 50 Owen St which DOES NOT EXIST, only a board that says Dolphin and Whale watching. To add to the woes - we managed to reach the right place 10 minutes before boarding only to find an unorganised queue waiting to get in. Bunch of rude crew who didn't seem to understand how to assist us. We had a booking confirmation for Dolphin watch cruise. The crew member told us the company had merged with another company and instantly I foresaw that this is going to be worse than I thought. They couldn't find our booking number and kept blaming Adrenaline for some technical issue, apparently not realising it could have something to do with their system. A lady crew member offered us a spot with the next cruise 2 hours later. But what I fail to understand she could have let us in with this one too.. like she did let another couple get in!! Double standards much? Such an unhappy experience after making an advance booking and driving all the way from Sydney just for this.

We had an awesome time on the passage cruise! Henri is as much a skipper as a comedian! It's fresh on the boat but luckily the wind&water proof jackets provided kept us warm. Many thanks to the lovely crew, you made our day!

Great experience! It'd be even better if everyone gets a seat on the ship. Standing for 2 hours straight was a bit much for me, but catching a glimpse of the dolphins made it all worthwhile.

It was a great experience, we enjoyed it and my 3 children were so excited to find many of dolphins, the weather was awesome and the trip took more than 2 hours.

Saw so many dolphins that were also swimming right next to the boat. Great staff on board. Smooth sailing

Fun day out in the cruise to spot some cute dolphins! Tickets are sold online or you can also get tickets directly in the shop. Once purchased, they will sent an email confirmation of the tickets. Just tell the name of the person who purchased the tickets in order to board the ship. The dolphin watch cruise is one an a half hour's time. We didn't manage to get the morning session 1030am tickets so we got on the 1pm cruise. We manage to spot just s few dolphins so I guess the dolphins are less active in the afternoon. Food and drinks are welcome onboard so do pack some light snacks if needed.

Thank you Paula and Saffron for your extra special attention for my friend with mobility issues. You went out of your way to make sure she saw all the dolphins and that she felt safe and attended to!! Great day out! 💜

BE ON TIME! If you are late from boarding time, the sailor WILL LEAVE YOU! We watched as the sailor left people behind because they arrived at time of leaving instead of 15 minutes early.
The cruise itself is nice, the caption tours you around and tells you cool information. The net bed is also cool and fun with family and friends.
Also, if you don't end up seeing any dolphins, like we didn't despite being on for two hours, they give you credit to come again which is good.

We were unlucky as we din't see any whales nor dolphins, but the crew was extremely good and overall it was fun, very high waves and all together a different experience.Avoid eating anything before you board as you may feel sick on wharf as its kind of sea sickness overall good experience.

Too expensive when you are not guaranteed dolphin experience. The cruise do not have any food for dolphin to come close to ship. You can go to Murray beach and view dolphin from very close when they pass from there after some time

We had such an unpleasant time on the dolphin cruise today. We didn’t see any dolphins and were told they hadn’t seen dolphins for the last few days. Why do they call it a dolphin cruise if they miss them more often than not? They didn’t seem like they had any idea where to look for dolphins or like they were even trying to find dolphins. Do they not have any tools to locate the dolphins? I’ve been on plenty of these dolphins cruises in other countries that always found dolphins and seemed to know what they were doing.
On top of the lack of dolphin sighting and perhaps even more disappointing was the poor attitude of the captain named Richard. He was unhappy from the second we boarded the boat. He started the cruise with a negative announcement about how we probably wouldn’t find any dolphins today and they couldn’t leave the straight line that we cruised in and out of because of the waves (the water conditions were fine). Then he came out of his cabin twice to tell off the people standing above him for stomping. They weren’t; they were just standing there, not even moving around. They slowed down the cruise for around 30 minutes to allow the people who paid extra to use the boom net to go in. Why are they combining a dolphin cruise with boom netting? We are meant to be cruising to looking for dolphins. At the end of the cruise, he continued blowing the horn at kayakers who were trying to cross. Generally captains give information, make jokes, and have a positive demeanor. He didn’t do any of those things.
It was easily the worst cruise I’ve ever been on. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone even if we had seen dolphins. An absolute waste of time and money.
