Booking tips

Staying for whale season
In spring, choose accommodation with bay views and stay at least two nights so you can watch for whales at different times of day. Mornings are often calmest for spotting blows from the headlands.
Nearby alternatives
Merimbula is 25 minutes north with more choice. Pambula and Pambula Beach sit in between. Green Cape cottages offer a remote option in Beowa National Park.
Eating near your stay
Eden has pubs, cafés and seafood takeaways along the main street and at the wharf. Hours can be limited in winter, so check ahead or self-cater.
