I've just spent five days on the Grand Pacific Drive starting in Wollongong. I would highly recommend this for a road trip as it passes through the cutest little towns; Kiama, Shoalhaven, Shellharbour and Southern Highlands. Make sure you grab a feed at the Hungry Monkey in Kiama, visit Bombo Quarry, waterfalls in the Highlands and Greenfields Beach is adorable! Oh, and Pilgrim cafe and Diggies cafe. So much to see, do and eat!

Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

Golf Place Inn

8/10 Good

"Yes"

Cronulla Motor Inn

6/10 Okay

"This place was fine. If you are going to stay here, understand that the property is old, so the taps leak, the toilet seat is pealing, but the beds are comfortable, the staff are nice and it is very close to the beach. I honestly wouldn’t stay here again as I don’t think it was worth the price. I would stay in Sydney (Edgecliff Motel) and come to Cronulla Beach for the day."
