Today we drove about three hours from Sydney city to Berry, a very cute and peaceful regional town in the Shoalhaven Council area that feels wonderfully untouched by time. One of the highlights along the way was stopping at the famous Berry Donut Van by the roadside. This local icon was established back in 1974. It originally started as just a van parked next to a petrol station. About 30 years ago, a friend of mine lived in this region, and even back then people would already make the drive just to enjoy coffee and donuts here. Today, the van has grown into a small kiosk, but the charm remains exactly the same. There are still long queues of people waiting patiently for freshly made donuts and coffee, which says everything about how special this place is. Don’t forget to take a perfect Instagram photo while you’re there — especially next to the multiple road-direction sign beside the kiosk. 📍 Address: 73 Queen Street, Berry NSW 2535 🚗 Getting there: From Sydney, drive south via the Princes Motorway (M1) and Princes Highway (A1). The journey takes around 2.5–3 hours, and the kiosk is easy to find on Berry’s main street. A nostalgic, joyful stop that makes the journey to Berry even more memorable.

🌼 For anyone planning a scenic getaway to Berry, The Berry View is a standout choice that blends convenience, comfort, and fresh style. Perfectly located just minutes by foot from Berry’s charming town centre, this renovated boutique spot puts you right among the best cafes, artisan shops, and country scenery the area is known for—plus, the rural views are ideal for a sunny morning coffee or a moody, cloudy afternoon stroll. 🌿 Step outside for insta-worthy moments at nearby rivers, daisy-dotted paddocks, and tree-lined lanes. Berry is “Nature-Vision” all around, with photogenic indoor and outdoor cultural scenery. If you’re up for a bit of adventure, wander to one of the town’s historic buildings or pop over to local lakes and ponds for peaceful nature breaks. Don’t miss the local pies and markets! The Berry General Store is an especially charming breakfast or lunch spot. This town puts everything at your fingertips. #Berry #BoutiqueHotel #NatureGetaway #CountryStyle #Tripcom

Heard everyone talks about Berry town. Finally we made it and visited the place. It was a small town but there are quite a lot of shops here. Lone the public toilets here, clean, big and so many. #Berry

Go out to sea to watch wild dolphins🐬. Jervis Bay, located 150 kilometers south of Sydney, has a wide blue coastline, and the sand on Huskisson Beach is white and soft. Here you can take a boat out to sea to watch wild dolphins chasing in the clear water, which is rare! Winery tasting cellar wine. Coolangatta Winery, built in 1822, is the second oldest winery in Australia and has won multiple wine awards. The special seaside climate here and the unique hand-picking process have created a unique wine flavor. Visit Wollongong (Wollongong) Blue Coast. Driving on the F6 scenic road Wollongong Blue Ocean Road, the entire road is built along steep cliffs, with steep cliffs on one side and the boundless Pacific Ocean on the other, which is spectacular! Main attractions along the way: the 665-meter-long Sea Cliff Bridge, the ancient lighthouse on Flagstaff Hill, and the natural water column up to 60 meters high in the ocean (Kiyama).
