If you happen to be visiting the South Coast of Australia, you must make time to see Kangaroo Valley. Kangaroo Valley is the name of the township within Shoalhaven and the name of the valley that lies along the Kangaroo River. The town was established by European settlers in 1817 and its first industry was the exporting of cedar trees and butter. Today, the small village is a haven for artists and contains a number of arts and crafts stores, restaurants and a hotel.
Spend a day fishing or boating on the river, or rent a kayak to glide along the currents to the Tallowa Dam. If you want to see some local wildlife, be sure to visit Bendeela Camping and Picnic Area. If you don’t have your own kayak or canoe, hit up Kangaroo Valley Safaris and they can hook you up. They offer rentals, as well as tours, like the kayak glide from Hampden Bridge to Bendeela. When it’s time to get off the water, go and check out the Man from Kangaroo Valley. The farm is owned by a husband and wife team who have tons of knowledge of the area and horses. Enjoy a three-hour ride through bushland and rainforest, up Mt. Moollootoo. When visiting, you will need a great place to stay, so check our list below of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in the area and book a stay today.
