12 Holiday Haven experiences on your doorstep!

Holiday Haven
11 Mar 2022

 

There’s nothing quite like that holiday feeling – settling in and having everything you could possibly need for the perfect South Coast escape at your fingertips. And at Holiday Haven’s 12 stunning parks, this is totally possible. However, with so much to see and do outside the boom gates, we can’t help ourselves tempting you to stretch those fingertips a tiny bit further.

We get it – you’re not in the mood to spend hours in the car. So, instead, allow us to present a selection of “adjacent attractions” located no more than a short drive from your Holiday Haven Park. You’re welcome!

 

On the doorstep of HOLIDAY HAVEN BENDALONG:

Monument Beach Ride - Nerringillah Road, Bendalong

This is one of many cycling routes weaving through Conjola National Park, with a route that takes you along unsealed roads through turpentine and blackbutt forest, wildflowers, wattle and banksia to Monument Beach picnic area where there are scenic views of the rocky coastline and vast ocean. Bird watchers will also want to have their binoculars handy!

 


The Fish Shop

 

On the doorstep of HOLIDAY HAVEN BURRILL LAKE:

The Fish ShopLagom Bakery - McDonald Parade, Burrill Lake

Literally a short five-minute stroll out of the park, this unassuming venue has some of the freshest, finest fish and chips not just on the South Coast, but in NSW. In fact, people travel from miles to enjoy these tasty treats – and you have them on your doorstep. And why not start your day next door with fresh coffee and small batch sourdough at the Lagom Bakery. For a location that’s “away from it all”, you’re very spoilt at Burrill Lake!

 


Burra Bike & Board

 

On the doorstep of HOLIDAY HAVEN CULBURRA BEACH:

Burra Bike & Board - Prince Edward Ave, Culburra Beach

Fitting equipment on the back (and top) of the car can be a struggle – as can buying the equipment in the first place for it to gather dust most of the year. Enter Burra Bike & Board – where you can pick up all kinds of bikes (including fat-tyred bike for cruising the beach), kids bike trailers, beginner foam surfboards and SUP paddleboards for exploring the beautiful waterways that surround Culburra on all sides.

A pleasant and well-signposted walk from the Abraham’s Bosom Reserve amongst the shrubbery of Point Perpendicular will bring you to this spectacular natural feature. The hole and 20-metre-long cave in the rocks is big enough for an adult to crawl through and your reward as you pop out the other side is a breathtakingly beautiful stack of sea cliff shelves.  Be sure to bring your camera!
