A Great Hotel

[pawsandclaws1]

For anyone looking for a a great venue for lunch, function or a romantic destination to take your partner, the Mt Kembla Hotel is terrific. It's a comfortable one hour drive from Southern Sydney. The staff are friendly, the variety of beers excellent, the menu innovative such as Surt and Turf without the Turf. Best of all it was formerly owned by ex Balmain centre and Balgownie native Ron Mack.

It's just a great hotel in a village near Wollongong. For those looking for another destination in the near future, the Clifton Hotel just up from the Seabridge is undergoing a substantial renovation. It looks as though accommodation will be part of the facilities. There is nothing more romantic than a big southerly storm hitting the coast at Clifton late afternoon or night. I have heard mixed revues about the Scarborough Hotel but it was okay last time we dined.

Been a looonnng time between drinks at the Clifton Hotel. We used to travel there for Sunday drinks when all the pubs near us in Liverpool were closed back in the mid 70's. I think there was a 20km rule for "travellers" You had to sign in like you would at an RSL club. We had a designated driver even back then but going back up the Bulli Pass still haunts me to this day!

Thanks for sharing your memories. We drove up the pass last night and the easterly lane heading towards Sydney is closed just before the bend. The reno at Clifton looks to be really good. I can't wait to go there as it brings back many fond memories as well.

If you get right train, you can get off right near there.,at Clifton station. Obviously pay attention to the timings , but an afternoon session there is definitely worthwhile

[pawsandclaws1]

Interesting it was 28 degrees in Bulli around 10pm last night. At Engadine about 30 mins later it was 35 degrees but had hit 32 by the time we arrived at Cronulla. The South Coast is way ahead of the Shire.
