Absolutely stunning property, beautiful breakfasts and wonderful people. Already recommending to family and friends.

Bradley Australia

What a beautiful place to stay. Breakfast was restaurant quality (and plentiful), the standard of the house respected the history of the property and being hosted by Simon, Darryl and Daisy was a beautiful way to spend a weekend.

Rick Australia

Location was perfect - close to Kiama and other Reserves and parks Home cooked breakfasts was fantastic and plentiful The gardens were beautiful and peaceful The hosts were superb - friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble for them

Steve Australia

These guys go to the next level... whatever you think is a good b and b...these two will make you think you were living in a cave. Perfect facilities, food and drinks were as good as 5 star or better. Hospitality at its finest... I have already started recommending them to anyone who will listen.

Rodney Australia

Great B&B, Darryl and Simon are really welcoming and have done a wonderful restoration - the property is very impressive. I would highly recommend staying here.

Adam Australia

Despite the wet weather, we had a wonderful time at Terragong. Our hosts, Simon and Darryl, could not have been more welcoming. The house has been beautifully restored and is extremely comfortable. It is a relaxing place to spend a weekend, wet or otherwise.

Less than a two hour drive south of Sydney, Jamberoo is indeed a place of outstanding beauty. The valley of rich pasturelands is located a ten minute drive from a selection of beautiful beaches in one direction, a ten minute drive in the other to native rainforests. Established in 1820 to harvest the rich cedar forests that built much of colonial Sydney, Jamberoo is renowned for being some of Australia’s best dairy farming country and is also the home of Australia’s first cooperative dairy. The original Aboriginal people of this area are known to be of the Wadi Wadi tribe, and Yuiu tribe. Traditional stories say the Dharawal people brought the Dharawal (cabbage tree palm) with them on arrival at Lake Illawarra, back when their ancestors were animals. Possible meanings in the local Aboriginal language for Jamberoo are "track or meeting place".
