Taste of the country

The Pacific Highway winds its way along the spectacular coast to the great conference options of the NSW South Coast.
Extending from just south of Sydney to the Victorian border, the South Coast packs in an amazing range of locations and experiences.



Wollongong, 90 minutes drive south of Sydney, was once an industrial powerhouse, best known for the massive steel-works and smelters of neighbouring Port Kembla. These days, it has established a reputation of a completely different kind, with modern and well-appointed hotels and resorts, fine restaurants and cafes, a thriving nightlife and a well-established arts community. Its beaches are clean and family-friendly, and the villages that hug the dramatic coastline north towards Stanwell Park are treasures in themselves.

The highway that threads along the coastline and inland south of Wollongong passes through some of the richest farming and dairying centres of the state. Towns like Shellharbour, Kiama, Berry, Nowra, Ulladulla, Batemans Bay, Narooma, Merimbula and Eden each has its own distinct personality.

Considerable choice
Conference groups have much to do and see on the South Coast. Meetings facilities range from seaside resorts and hotels to charming rural retreats. The golf courses are some of the best in the country, offset by wildlife and the thrill of birdcall. The many national parks are great for spectacular scenery and whisper-quiet seclusion.

Teambuilding activities are especially popular, while conference groups can take part in bushwalking, orienteering, horse riding, swimming, surfing, canoeing, skydiving, gliding, parasailing and many other thrilling pastimes. Wine-tasting and winery tours can be arranged, while the region’s dairy industry is best experienced at the rustic cheese factories of the lower South Coast. Road access for delegates from Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne is via the Pacific Highway. The scenery throughout the South Coast always offers something new and exciting just around the next bend. At the end of the journey, delegates can be assured that an exciting conference experience awaits.
