📅 Itinerary Day1:Straight to the golf course to stretch the legs immediately followed by a complimentary beverage at the club included with your (very reasonable) green fees. Day2: well if the Club didn’t steal your heart with its great selection of eateries, championship sized snooker tables or casinoesque poker machine area then you’re doing it wrong. We had an over cast day so rather than sit around feeling sorry for ourselves, we went for another round of golf before heading back up to Sydney. 🏨 Accommodation Stayed at the Bay and Basin near the golf course. It’s a quaint establishment which I’m sure I could rate higher once the musty smell in the lobby is taken care of. The rooms were fine tho for the price. 🍴 Food Recommendations The golf club has a classic bistro and a succulent Chinese restaurant with really tasty food. If heading back through Nowra make sure to stop for a gourmet pie or pork and fennel sausage roll at Earnest Arthur’s next to Bunnings south Nowra. 📌 Tips Turn the phone on silent. See the old castle and grab some gelato from Huskies.

After driving from Sydney to Melbourne, after visiting Kiama, not wanting to rush, chose Naura Nowra, an Australian town, to stay for one night. Checked into the Marriott park motel and chose this Indian restaurant they are three minutes walk from. Because I noticed that there are many Indian restaurants around, my motel is run by Indians. There should be a lot of Indians living in this town, and eating an Indian dinner should be more authentic. As expected, I didn't make the wrong choice. The three curries tasted very good, and the fish in the starter was fresh. The whole dining experience was great. #NauraSlowTour #AustralianFood #TownAccommodation #AuthenticIndianMeal
