In Australia’s east, Sapphire Coast in New South Wales entices the vacationers
Arrive from Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne or just any city within Australia to spend a relaxing week or weekend at Sapphire Coast. The Merimbula Airport is the gateway to natural paradise and niche experiences. Doesn’t matter what type of travel you prefer, there is something for everyone.
Family travelers can enjoy themselves at NRMA Merimbula Beach Holiday Park, a resort with heated pool, tennis provisions and even a fun sand volleyball arena. There is a dedicated kids club to keep the most important members of the family busy! Family or group travelers seeking solitude and nature view can stay at The River Mouth Beach House in Pambula or Bumblebrook Farm in Bega Valley.
Luxury seekers can put up at Coast Resort which is a collection of private apartments, penthouses and townhouses around the ocean and waterways. Glampers can have the pleasure of enjoying a private deck with bathtub and a panoramic view at Currajong Retreat in Towamba Valley. The independence seekers can go caravanning as there are plenty of powered campsites like Eden Beachfront Holiday Park, Wonboyn Cabins and Caravan Park and many more. This is also the best option if you are on a tight budget.
Why should humans have all the fun? At Sapphire Coast, pets are welcome too. Bermagui Holiday Letting which is comfortably close from every amenity is built with the needs of pets in mind.
Sapphire Coast Travel : Activities galore
Explore the ocean world by scuba diving, snorkeling or surfing. Interested ones can sign up for lessons at Dive Eden and Bermi Surf School where scuba diving and surfing would be taught from scratch, respectively. Go on a fishing trip in the waters with Fishpen Charters or leave the water alone and explore the wilderness of land. Feel the nature up and close on a short walk or multiple days hike in Ben Boyd National Park with Light to Light Walk, Sapphire Coast Guiding Co. or Life’s An Adventure.
Animal enthusiasts can pay a visit to the Potoroo Palace— a hub of koalas, kangaroos and various other native Australian animals. Magic Mountain Amusement Park would keep children from being bored. Meanwhile, adults can go for a walk in the town of Pambula, tasting pies, checking out surfboards and homewares.
Learn how the oyster comes on your plate at Oyster Barn by Merimbula Gourmet Oysters. For locally sourced hot seafood head to Fry Daze Food Truck and for a lesson in gin, sign up at North of Eden distillery. Visit the Cranky Café in Merimbula— a place that extended the much-needed support every day during the 2020 disastrous bushfire.
At Banksia Restaurant run by chef Huw Jones and Renee Loftus treat yourself to a three-course set dinner that focuses on local produce. Next day visit the Valentina Restaurant for a dining experience with Merimbula lake view. For a combination of drinks and music head to Longstocking Brewery.
Happy planning!
