Bush trails, briny oysters, and beach swims in Eurobodalla’s easy rhythm this Winter.

Whether you’re craving a weekend of saltwater, slow breakfasts, or trails through towering gums, Malua Bay makes an ideal base. From Kurrajong Malua Bay, everything feels close — the waves at Broulee, the oysters of the Clyde, the hidden tracks at Mogo. In just 36 hours, you can plunge into the best of Eurobodalla’s coastline and come away feeling like you’ve stayed much longer.

7:00 a.m. — Cold Plunge Wake-Up
Start your coastal escape the way locals do: with a quick, heart-thumping dip at Broulee Beach. Even in warmer months, the water is brisk enough to jolt you into the present. Watch the surfers paddle out and pelicans skim the tide as you emerge, salty and awake.

8:00 a.m. — Smashed Avo and Small-Town Charm
Just up the highway, Three66 Espresso Café off Mosquito Bay offers a casual, community-hearted breakfast. Grab an Ona flat white and the kind of smashed avocado toast that proves the classics endure for a reason. Sit outside near the fire pit, and feel your heart rate settle, and maybe spot a ray in the water nearby.

10:00 a.m. — Ride the Mogo Trails
Drive 10 minutes south and trade your sandals for trail shoes. The Mogo Mountain Bike Trails offer a network of smooth-flowing loops and forested climbs, suitable for every level of rider. Cruise through banksia scrub and eucalypt shade, or push for a burst of adrenaline on the steeper descents.

12:30 p.m. — Lunch at the River Mouth
Head east to Mossy Point Café, tucked into the sleepy community of Mossy Point. Grab a table under the gums and dig into a fresh, earthy lunch — think burgers, halloumi salads, a milk shake or something from the specials board that always seems to suit the day.

3:00 p.m. — Bubbles with a View
Ready for a little indulgence? Follow the river south to The Oyster Shack at the Clyde River’s edge. Order a dozen local oysters and a glass of crisp bubbles. The shack’s deck faces the water — no agenda here but slurping, sipping, and watching the tide drift by.

6:00 p.m. — Old-School Dinner, South Coast Style
Back in Malua Bay, Raymond’s Chinese Restaurant offers something wonderfully nostalgic: battered honey prawns, sweet and sour pork, sizzling Mongolian beef. It’s a local favourite, especially for families and Friday night regulars. Order a mix and lean in.

8:30 p.m. — Fireside Finish
End the day the way it was meant to end: tucked up near the fire with a glass of red in hand. Staying at one of the local cottages like Kurrajong Malua Bay, nestled among the trees, the night here is dark, quiet, and deeply still. The stars above are pinprick clear.

As the cooler months roll in, there’s something special about the South Coast’s slower pace — no crowds, crisp air, and still-warm sun during the day. Kurrajong Malua Bay is perfectly placed to soak it all in, with the fireplace ready, the ocean nearby, and all of Eurobodalla on your doorstep.
