Nrma Tathra Beachfront Holiday Park

Drove from Lakes Entrance to Tathra and checked in with friendly staff to Beach House 3 which is at the far end of all of the accommodation. There were very few tent people so the house was quite private and peaceful. A short access path opposite the deck of the house takes you to a beautiful and virtually deserted beach. You can see the water from the deck which has a bbq area with a table and 6 chairs. Inside is a living area with uncomfortable seating like most places we stayed at during this trip. There is a very well appointed kitchen and a dining area with another table and 6 chairs. Towards the rear are 3 bedrooms - one with a king bed and ensuite, one with a queen bed and one with 4 bunks. These share a bathroom. Overall, it's quite comfortable accommodation and could suit 2 couples with kids. The house has it's own parking space which could comfortably fit 2 cars. However, the code system and boom gate for entry to the park would probably mean that a 2nd car would have to be parked out in the street. Across that street from the park are a few shops, a couple of cafes and a pizza place called Drift. We ate there on our first night and the meal was just okay. Another reviewer advised that the pub is walking distance. I guess it is if you're a mountain goat and very fit. Alternatively, it's a 2-minute drive up an extremely steep road with an interesting hairpin bend. The town also has a small supermarket/newsagency and a bottle shop. There's not much for us in Tathra so we're unlikely to stay there again. Later in this trip, we stayed for 4 nights in the only Beach House at the Merimbula NRMA and enjoyed that and Merimbula township far more. The Tathra park offers a range of accommodation options including Beach Villas and glamping. Both options are in the busiest sections of the park and all are very close to each other. We were glad to have the relative peace and quiet of Beach House 3. Further afield from Tathra, we had great lunches at Octopii at Bermagui and at the Dromedary Hotel at Central Tilba (a very old town with lots of quaint shops. The leathergoods and jewellery shops were particularly good). The drives to both places are picturesque (40 mins to Bermagui along the coast and around an hour to Central Tilba if you bypass Bega by taking the turnoff to Princes Hwy at Kerrisons Lane. Blink and you'll miss it.)

We had a wonderful time at Tathra Beachside. The staff were very friendly; checkin was easy; the site and ensuite were clean; the facilities were excellent, including the camp kitchen, water park and pool; right on the beach and in the centre of town; fantastic entertainment on Sunday evening

Upon arrival, the staff were friendly,courteous, and very helpful, as we arrived prior to our check-in time. The ensuite sights we were allocated we very clean and mowed. The ensuites were in immaculate condition. Camp kitchen an amenities were also immaculate. There are plenty of activities for kids. Family entertainment on selected nights. Our little Coco was welcome, she was given a dog treat on arrival. The facilities for pets to wash are extremely clean and easy to use.
