We got lucky as we were staying mid-week outside of holiday times and landed probably one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. We booked “The Bower” at Broulee for nearly half price (we normally wouldn’t splurge full price for accommodation at the rate The Bower commands, but we will be going back, even if at full price which is cheaper than any 5 stars in Sydney and far better). That’s how good the place is.

The Bower has about 10 or so private cabins set in a nature reserve, a spa in every cabin, kitchen, and laundry but the highlight is the wildlife that comes right up to your door, all manner of birds, possums, sugar gliders and wallabies.
You’ll turn up and there’ll be goodies in the fridge for breakfast, birdseed to attract the birds and even a spotlight to find the nocturnal animals getting about outside your cabin. The place is spotless and you’ll be lucky if you see other guests at all.

BLESSING OF THE FLEET FESTIVAL – ULLADULLA
If you’re on the South Coast during the Easter long weekend be sure to visit Ulladulla for The Blessing of the Fleet Festival from Good Friday through to Easter Sunday.
There are fireworks a Scottish Tattoo, tug-o-war, the famous Greasy Pole, beach games, a street parade with wild floats, stalls, exhibitions and the actual blessing of the fleet on Easter Sunday, a tradition that is centuries old originating in Italy which is continued on by the descendants of Ulladulla’s Italian fishing community.
