Steeped in charm and history, the twin towns of Bowral and Berrima are jewels of the Southern Highlands — and both are just a short drive from Moss Vale Holiday Park.
Start your journey in Bowral, the Highlands’ elegant heart. Here, wide streets are lined with boutiques, bookstores, art galleries, and inviting cafés serving everything from fresh scones to locally roasted coffee. Stroll through Corbett Gardens, famous for its spring Tulip Time Festival, where thousands of tulips bloom in a riot of colour.
Sports lovers can’t miss the Bradman Museum and International Cricket Hall of Fame, which celebrates the life and legacy of Sir Donald Bradman, Bowral’s most famous son.
From Bowral, take a scenic 10-minute drive west to Berrima, one of the best-preserved Georgian villages in Australia. Wander its cobblestone streets, visit the Berrima Courthouse Museum, and step back in time as you explore charming sandstone buildings dating back to the 1830s.
Stop for lunch at the Surveyor General Inn, the nation’s oldest continuously licensed pub, or browse the local antique stores and craft galleries. With its old-world atmosphere and slow pace, Berrima feels like a living postcard of Australia’s colonial past.
Local tip: Visit midweek for a quieter experience — you’ll have more time to chat with locals, explore hidden laneways, and enjoy a long lunch without the crowds.
