Where to Stay in New South Wales – South Coast
Resorts, hotels, and accommodation options in New South Wales – South Coast
Accommodation Overview
The South Coast offers a good range of accommodation from budget motels and holiday parks to quality resorts and beachfront apartments, with options concentrated in the main coastal towns of Narooma, Bermagui, Merimbula, and Eden. Narooma is the most popular base for divers, with motels, apartments, and holiday parks providing convenient access to the Montague Island dive operators. Bermagui offers a more intimate coastal experience with boutique B&Bs, holiday houses, and the iconic Bermagui Country Club. Merimbula provides family-friendly resorts, apartments, and holiday parks, while Eden offers affordable motels and holiday houses with good access to the Twofold Bay dive sites. The region's holiday parks are well-maintained and provide excellent value, particularly for families and groups. Many properties offer weekly rates during the quieter months, and the absence of large chain hotels gives the South Coast a more authentic and personal accommodation experience.
