We wanted to try and find authentic Australia and we think we did! Traditional Ozzie pub with rooms and great food. Fascinating heritage and a must for any travelling football fans. Lovely little town with very friendly folks living there. Beautiful surrounding area and nearby Minnemarra Rainforest and Waterfalls worth a visit if you need to work off your time at the pub!

Stayed here about two years ago it used to have a main pool and hot jaccuzzi... Now they have put a child's fun swim area... But also changed the jaccuzzi area to a child's play area...

Arrived late less than 20 minutes before the restaurant closed. Reception rang and asked if we could still be served. They agreed to wait and after dropping our luggage in the room we rushed down. We were offered the full menu and were served with an excellent meal.

The hotel was excellent, very clean, comfortable and perfect for what we needed. The location was also spot on, a five minute walk to everything. Having a pool was also great.
A big thank you to Julia, the lovely receptionist who was friendly, informative, and had a big interest in 80’s music 😎. Five stars all round 😊

The best time to visit Tongarra is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.
Autumn in Tongarra offers reliably sunny days with comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 18°C to 25°C. This makes it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region, such as hiking in the nearby Illawarra Escarpment or enjoying the coastal walks around Kiama. The ocean temperature is still warm enough for swimming, and you'll find fewer visitors than in the peak summer months.
Spring provides similar lovely weather, with temperatures between 17°C and 24°C, and the landscape is particularly lush after the winter rains. It's a great time for outdoor activities like cycling along the cycle paths or visiting local markets in nearby towns like Berry. You'll also find the wildflowers in bloom, adding to the scenery.
While summer (December to February) has the warmest weather, often reaching above 28°C, it's also the busiest time, especially during school holidays, meaning higher prices and more people at popular spots.
