It's a south coast gem - offering visual and practical comfort in terms of space, natural light, simple pleasures and location.
My Cunjurong Point/Manyana/Green Island/Bendalong highlights:
*GREEN ISLAND
*THE LOOKOUT in the Conjola National Park, enter via the top end of Ottawa Street
*MANYANA BEACH
*LAKE CONJOLA INLET enter via the bush track (intersection of Ottawa St and Cunjurong Point Rd). NB. When a southerly wind is predicted or hits, this tranquil inlet area turns very windy, so head to Bendalong which is only a 5-minute drive.
*EXPLORE by foot or bike the many bush tracks. Head down Austen Street (opposite the house) into the bush and out into the Manyana township to play tennis, basketball, or soccer. All located on Manyana Drive.
*Discover INYADDA BEACH off Sunset Strip Manyana. Inyadda Beach is linked to Bendalong via an excellent, long sealed fire trail.
* Rock Hop from Manyana Beach to Inyyada to Bendalong (last leg depends on the tide).
*BENDALONG has a good shop, an ok café but do great wood fire oven pizzas on a Friday night, fantastic swimming beaches and walks. Definitely worth a visit! *Look out for One Tree Beach, Dee Beach and Monument Beach.
*Also, there’s an excellent sealed fire trail from Bendalong (enter via corner of Bendalong Road and Maple Street) to Inyadda Beach (near the toilet block) in Manyana. Great on foot or on bike.
Other favourites:
* National Park Walks - Pigeon House Mountain and Mount Bush Walker in Morton National Park (my favourite, a great drive in, fab for young kids because its flat and the closest of the two). For Mount Bush Walker details refer ti the website below.

*Milton (20min drive) - Pilgrims Cafe, The Guild (great Italian food including pizza), the IGA and bottle shop (very well stocked) and the bakery/deli.
*Ulladulla Cinema (30min drive) – great for a rainy day.
