Things to see and do

Kangaroo Valley is described by many to be ‘The most beautiful valley in Australia’.
This valley is surrounded by magnificent escarpments, lush rain forest and has rich pasture land that was settled by early pioneering families.

It is home to an incredible variety of native fauna including wallabies, lyrebirds, wombats, kangaroos and spotted quolls.

You’ll find an abundance of things to do including some of the best kayaking and canoing to be experienced in Australia. Mountain biking can include steep bush tracks or gentle winding lanes and you can hire bikes locally. Or you can simply walk along the back roads and long lanes into the hinterland that meets the floor of the valley. The higher country becomes Morton National Park and walking trails will reveal splendid views into the nearby gorges with waterfalls, tributary creeks and lakes. It’s a bush walker’s paradise. Tallowa Dam is a perfect spot for a picnic and the banks on either side have meandering walking tracks and vantage points to appreciate the beauty of the river and riverbank forests.

Horse riding treks are also popular and the hiring of horses and ponies for scenic trail rides is a great way to take in the rain forest and pastoral scenery.

Swimming in the Kangaroo and Shoalhaven Rivers with dense forest on both sides is always a most memorable experience for visitors.

Kangaroo Valley has a variety of Art and Craft Galleries a thriving café and restaurant scene with a famous pub in the centre of town. You’ll find interesting shops with collectibles, a bakery, nurseries and quaint shops with beautiful handcrafts and artworks.

If you drive west up Barrengarry you’ll enjoy the famous Fitzroy Falls on the way to the Southern Highlands. To the east is the coast via Mt Cambewarra with a wonderful lookout perched above the escarpment and coastal foothills. The view spans all the way from the Illawarra in the north to Pigeon House Mountain in the south. The drive takes you to the historic township of Berry or to Nowra and Jervis Bay and some of the county’s most beautiful beaches.

Stop along the way at a winery and enjoy the famous attractions that the Kiama region has to offer.

Having Kangaroo Valley Golf and Country Resort as a base to play golf and experience the vast array of outdoor pursuits on offer makes great sense. You’ll want to keep coming back to this ‘beautiful valley’ to discover all the treasures that include so much grandeur and tranquillity.
