What Makes This Area Unique

South coast paradise — Jervis Bay white sand, Berry village charm, and coastal wilderness

Shoalhaven covers Nowra, Berry, Jervis Bay, and the south coast from Kangaroo Valley to Ulladulla. Jervis Bay has some of Australia's whitest sand beaches, Berry is a charming village destination, and Kangaroo Valley offers dramatic escarpment scenery.

Living here: Shoalhaven offers spectacular natural beauty at south coast prices. Berry and Jervis Bay are increasingly popular for tree-changers. Nowra is the service centre. Distance from Sydney (2+ hours) is both a drawback and a feature.
