Beach towns, river villages, national parks and country stops spread between the coast and hinterland.
Your guide to the Shoalhaven Region
Shoalhaven sits on the NSW South Coast, starting around 2 hours south of Sydney. A Shoalhaven holiday can move between Berry, Kangaroo Valley and Milton for a slower country weekend, Huskisson and the Jervis Bay area for beaches and wildlife boat tours, then Mollymook and Ulladulla for coastal walks and relaxed seaside stays. Nowra sits near the centre of the region, with smaller towns and villages spread along the coast and inland.
