With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Nowra, 16 miles away, has to offer. Stockland Nowra, Nowra Golf Course and Shoalhaven Zoo alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals are also likely to point you toward Bowral, 20 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Mount Jellore Lookout. (But we’d also highly recommend Centennial Vineyards and Bendooley Estate Book Barn.)
