Nowra to Wollongong road trip: Distance, drive time & stops
Nowra to Wollongong road trip: Gerroa, Gerringong and Kiama
After Berry, the Nowra to Kiama section of the road trip route continues towards Gerroa. This is where you’ll find the surfer-beloved Seven Mile Beach.
Before entering oceanside Gerringong, you can get merrily lost at Granties Maze and taste locally-made wines at the Crooked River Winery. But the fabulous Werri Beach is understandably the town’s focal point.
Where to stay in Gerringong, NSW?
The best Gerringong accommodation options are:
- For two pools and a restaurant: Mercure Gerringong Resort.
- For a holiday park that the kids will love: Werri Beach Holiday Park.
- For overall quality: Park Ridge Retreat.
Just up the road from Gerringong is Kiama, famed for the Kiama Blowhole. Here, the ocean smashes into a cave, then explodes upwards through a hole in the rocks.
Nearby, you can go swimming in the Blowhole Point Ocean Pool or at Kendalls Beach. The Bombo Headland, with its strange basalt columns by the moody coastline, is also well worth a visit.
Kiama accommodation picks include the usefully central Nova Kiama, the swish Sebel Harbourside Kiama and the considerably cheaper Surf Beach Holiday Park.
