SWIM and SURF
Obviously, if you're booking a holiday house for a beach vacation then swimming and surfing are generally your go-to activities. Mollymook and Milton are renowned for the most gorgeous beaches. Perfect for swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, sandcastle making or just lying in the sun (with your rashie and 50+ blockout, of course).
BEACH WALK
The Mollymook area is renowned for its white sands and pristine waters dotted along the coast. Take a long beach walk, kicking the waves at your feed and breath in the fresh air. While Australia boasts many spectacular surf spots, Mollymook Beach, Narrawallee Beach and Jones Beach are some of the finest. Find holiday rentals at Mollymook Beach, Narrawallee Beach and Jones Beach on Search and Stay.
CHAMPAGNE AND OYSTERS
No beach holiday is complete without oysters. There's no better way to feel the vacation vibe than with freshly shucked oysters and a glass (or two) of your favourite bubbly. When in Mollymook or Milton head to Rick Stein's restaurant and take in panoramic ocean views as the sunsets from the deck. Instant beach holiday, tick!
TEE UP
I believe that like wine, golf is an acquired taste but for those who have a taste for it – no golf is ever enough. Mollymook boasts two unique golf courses. Mollymook Beachside Golf Course is a 9 hole 33 par course overlooking a picturesque stretch of coastline. Perfect for leisurely paced play for both beginners and accomplished players. And for the diehard golfing enthusiasts, The Hilltop course provides more of a challenge, the course is 18 holes settled amongst bushland beauty. Amble along the tree-lined fairways and rolling greens as you and your other half put your skills to the test. If golf's not your thing enjoy the beach view while you grab a bite and beverage in the bistro.
WINERY CELLAR DOORSIt's not generally considered a wine area but surprisingly NSW South Coast is home to some fantastic wineries, including Cupitt's Estate, Two Figs Winery, Coolangatta Estate, Silos Estate and Cambewarra Estate. Grab a glass and get tasting. Keep room in the back of the car to take a couple of boxes to enjoy at your holiday home.
HIGH TEA
Love cake and a cuppa? Then High Tea at Cambewarra Estate is for you. Start with wine tasting at the Cellar Door and finish with a selection of sweet and savoury treats and a glass of bubbles. Prefer a High Tea party at your holiday home or beach front bungalow, booked on Search and Stay. Have a selection of savoury quiches, ribbon sandwiches, scones with homemade jam and cream, tarts, cupcakes and macarons as well as a packet of tea in your holiday house in Mollymook, cottage in Milton or pick-up is from Cambewarra Estate or if it is a party of 6 people or more they'll deliver to your holiday accommodation.
CLIMB PIGEON HOUSE MOUNTAIN
If you love a challenge then a hike up the iconic Pigeon House Mountain trail is a must. The trek to the top of Pigeon House includes making your way up a series of ladders that lead to the summit but not before you encounter forest, heathlands and age-old sandstone. You'll be rewarded for your hard work with a well-deserved rest, perhaps even some lunch and the most spectacular panoramic views. Stay in a mountain cabin or bush retreat holiday home that you can find on Search and Stay to really be at home with nature.
STAND UP PADDLEBOARDING
Whether you have your own SUP, hire one or maybe there's one at your holiday house in Mollymook. Stand up paddle boarding is an awesome way to spend the day and explore the Mollymook coast. Look for the clear day and some calm water and you'll be set.
BROWSE THE MARKETS
Shell Jewelry and fashion accessories, homewares, Australiana, cushions, crystal, kites, cakes and more, the markets are a great way to spend a morning. Every fifth Sunday Mollymook markets are held on the reserve overlooking Mollymook Beach. Grab something special and if you're lucky get a glimpse of the local dolphins.
BANNISTERS DAY SPA
Time for some holiday indulgence, the Day Spa at Bannisters has an extensive spa menu that will fulfil your every need. Making the most of the clifftop location and proximity to the ocean, try the alfresco cabana complete with the lulling sound of waves.
