Driving South from Sydney, from Sydney the magnificent Pacific Ocean is revealed as you descend the Illawarra escarpment just prior to reaching Wollongong, at Bulli Pass. A hint at the beauty that lies ahead is further revealed just before Kiama with the first glimpse of Bombo Beach with the iconic Kiama Lighthouse in the distance.

A really ‘wow’ moment comes about 5km south of Kiama when the highway winds around a section where the mountains meet the coast – the Kiama Bends – and the beauty of the Southcoast is revealed at Mount Pleasant.

Gerringong is a picture postcard coastal town located on the NSW Southcoast about 1.5 hours south of Sydney. While most of the NSW coastline is being over developed, Gerringong is one of those places that retain the elements of a true coastal idyll. Set off the main highway, the town has maintained a layback country style and sense of community that it is the envy of many. Add to that the fact that its beach, Werri Beach, is renowned as the best surf beach on the NSW South Coast. Werri (originally known as Ourie Beach) is a beautiful classic Australian beach with its pristine sands stretched out between two rock headlands with a magnificent rock pool on the rock shelf of the southern end and a wonderful lagoon at the northern end.
