We were there for a wedding and a post wedding barbecue in nearby Berry so didn't do a lot of touristy things during that time except visit Shoalhaven Heads and look around Nowra briefly one morning, Said that, Nowra is the gateway to the NSW South Coast and there are many attractions in the surrounds. We came through the stunning Kangaroo Valley and went home via the South Coast with its magnificent locales and scenery.

We really liked staying in Nowra as we were only a 20minute drive from Huskisson and Berry which are places we love. We didn’t spend much time in Nowra itself but if you have a car it’s a great place to stay as you can explore so much of the south coast from there. Ponte Bar and Dining is a must go to place for dinner when in Nowra, the food was amazing. Nowra Fresh and Nowra farmers market are a great place to do your grocery shopping as they have amazing fresh and local produce, deli items and grocery items.

Nowra is a great place to visit as a stop over or to stay for a break. Nowra is conveniently located close to surrounding beaches, the countryside and vineyards. Nowra has all the conveniences of a modern location with a bustling town centre, shopping centres, restaurants and loads of accommodation to choose from.

Nowra's a place on the move. The looming (and slightly disruptive) 'Bridge Project' is evidence of that. If you have a car, Nowra is not a bad place to visit. If you're a no-car hippy like me (and my long-suffering wife), then the bus system is less than user-friendly. Local businesses would benefit from more accurate visitor info and some sort of tourist infrastructure would go a long way to making this beautiful part of NSW much more viable as a tourist destination.
