Jack’s Garden at the Royal Hotel Grenfell

Royal Hotel Grenfell

Jack’s Garden is a ‘MUST SEE” when visiting the historic Grenfell area.

Highly recommended, sitting outside at the rear of the Royal Hotel in Jack’s Garden and enjoying a beer and/or meal.

Jack has incorporated a lot of Grenfell’s wonderful history into his back yard garden setting at the Royal Hotel.

You may even be able to play with his pet ‘Blue Tongue’ lizard. (Click on pics to enlarge)

Emerson’s on Main Thai Restaurant Ulladulla

Address: 391 Princes Hwy, Ulladulla.

Emerson’s on Main, Thai Restaurant, Ulladulla.

For a delicious Asian style cuisine with a diverse large menu of mouth watering seafood, meat and vegetarian dishes, I recommend you try this restaurant where many locals go. Fully licensed.

A review posted on TripAdvisor: What a surprise! “We love eating out in the local Mollymook Milton Ulladulla area, however we had not ventured to south Ulladulla to try this restaurant. By chance, I overheard various people waxing eloquent about ‘Emerson’s On Main’. We were not disappointed. On arrival we were met by the hostess (friendly and attentive to our needs) who took us to a table that captured the outside breeze due to it being such a hot day. She was extremely polite. I chose ‘Salt & pepper Calamari and King Prawns’ and my wife chose the ‘Thai Duck Salad’. I can honestly say that this was the best Thai food we had tasted in a long while. An absolute surprise. Highly recommended for those who love Thai food”.

This Thai Restaurant has a Licensed Bar. At the rear of the premises it sells Bali/Asian Homewares, Outdoor/Indoor Pots, Water Features, imported direct from Jakarta Indonesia.

Trading hours are seasonal: Currently Lunch, Thurs. to Sun.

Bookings: Phone – Mob. 0405 059 634 or (02) 4454 3353

TANOSHI B.Y.O. Japanese Restaurant – Ulladulla

Tanoshi Restaurant: Location – Directions – Contact details

.

A MUST VISIT. Since opening in late 2017 this Japanese restaurant has enjoyed incredible patronage. By ‘word of mouth’ locals have come out of the ‘wood work’ so to speak to enjoy a wonderful dining experience operated by a very professional team of Japanese chefs supported by knowledgeable staff. Play it safe and make a booking rather than take your chance to just show up. It is a very popular restaurant, just ask the locals. PLUS its BYO!

Tanoshi Facebook reviews include: (Link to their Facebook page TANOSHI)

Absolutely beautiful food! I have been to heaps of Japanese Restaurants and this is one of the best I have tried. Michelle
Best sushi experience I’ve had, the spider roll soft shelled crab was the best way I have ever eaten soft shelled crab in my life a must go to, I’ll b back. Dan
Delicious food every visit so far. Reasonably priced and staff are fantastic. The one downside, if you can call it a downside, is that it is so busy, but having said that it deserves to be. A great addition to Ulladulla. Julia

John and Jacqui’s 70th Birthday Gift

John and Jacqui’s ‘Getaway’ to enjoy their 70th Birthday Gift from Family & Friends

Bangalay room with golf course view

John and Jacqui enjoy their 70th Birthday Gift at ‘Bangalay’ Luxury Villas

John writes: “Jacqui and I arrived at Bangalay Luxury Villas on Sunday afternoon and it certainly lives up to its reputation. Villas have lovely modern design features and our patio looks out onto the golf course. Surf beach is a few minutes walk. We are having such a good time and would like to thank all our wonderful swimming and walking friends for our birthday treat. Our 3 day package included:

Complimentary wine and choc treats on arrival
In room continental breakfasts with yummy pastries, cereal, rhubarb compote and yogurt.
Delicious dinners both in room and in restaurant. Owners and staff here are very friendly and helpful.

Only downside is I had to have an emergency tooth extraction Monday morning and was instructed to avoid alcohol for the next 3 days so you’ll see the restaurant picture has me holding a mock-tail while Jacqui was enjoying a glass of bubbly.

Off to Jamberoo and Saddleback Mountain today so will get a chance to check out the views and the final hill climb leg of the Le Tape. Back home Wednesday and looking forward seeing you all”. Regards,John & Jacqui.
