One Hundred Banksias, Pavilions, Two Couples & Culburra Retreat Guidebook

Essentials

There's only one supermarket, one butcher (and one bottle shop and pharmacy) in Culburra, but if you don't mind the 18km drive to Nowra, Nowra Fresh stocks excellent produce, cooking ingredients and great seafood.
Local supermarket a block behind the main strip.

Drinks & Nightlife

There's not a lot happening in Culburra in the evenings. You'll need to head into Nowra for anything more stylish than the bolo.
Inexpensive dinner, cheap drinks. If you're looking for Chinese food though, I'd recommend the local Chinese Restaurant (see below) rather than the Chinese at the bolo.

TripAdvisor says: Bottlerocket Bar & Cafe is the Shoalhaven's only boutique cocktail bar and cafe. Step inside and you will delight at the impressively stocked bar, musically inspired decor, French oak wine barrels, retro chandeliers and booths that beckon. The friendly and relaxed atmosphere is complemented by the happy and helpful staff who are very passionate about cocktails.

Food Scene

Here are the best places for local eats. For lunch, there's an unprepossessing Hot Bread Shop in the main street that does great Vietnamese salad rolls. Not listed here because they don't have any web presence.

Friends highly recommend this place. A 14-minute drive from the house but apparently better than the Culburra pizza joint so perhaps worth it.

I don't know if this is your kind of thing, but its just 12 minutes drive from the house, on the road to Nowra, so you might like to drop in on the way to Culburra Beach or on the way home. Shop local and handmade products in historic surrounds and you can comfortably take the hound along.
