Coolangatta Estate

South Coast NSW


Staying on this venerable wine-producing estate can be a treat if you choose wisely. Spread across different buildings, the rooms vary widely, from a cute convict-built timber cottage with a high bed and a historic feel to cramped rooms in the servants' quarters or a fairly drab lodge building.

A buffet breakfast is included at weekends. Book well ahead, as it's a popular wedding venue.

The estate, which offers wine tastings and flavour-paired lunches, is 13km east of the Bomaderry Princes Hwy junction.
