Southern Gateway Centre

Beautiful gifts, coffee and views. A must to stop at before heading down the hill to Wollongong

We stop here for a break frequently. Great place for a rest stop on your sojourn to the South Coast. I personally feel the more that stop here the better it will get.

Amazing views with coffee and cake to match!
The service was lovely.
A nice way to finish a day with my mum and big sis.

Great place to stop on way from Sydney to Berry or Kiama for a toilet break, ice cream, views of the coast and a coffee.

Lovely quaint place. Friendly host, comfortable beds with view of ocean. Nothing was too much trouble.

Nice view. Great gelato. Not a great deal of seating. Not many close by parking spots for those who need it.

Always stop for a coffee or a yummy Gelato, so many lovely flavours to choose from, ohhhhh and the views aren't bad either

Impressive. Friendly and informed staff at the information centre. Good lookout. Cafe looked busy.

Gorgeous views, delicious gelato, beautiful wares in the tourist centre.

Would suggest getting half scoops of the icecream as they are VERY generous with their scoops.

View is spectacular on a clear day.

Surprisingly good for roadside stop off point. The Samosas are made on site.
The view makes it better - North of Wollongong and Mt Keira in the distance to the right.

Great spot to stop, easily accessible and you can’t miss it. Expect plenty of amenities such as a cafe, a large restaurant, snacks and pastries, gelato and ice cream, and a great view with plenty of space to walk around. Clean toilets too.

We stopped by for short break.
Glad we did that.

Views from the ViewPoint are amazing.

Excellent visitor centre packed with info to explore the south coast. Staff is super friendly.
The viewing platform is a nice addition, we stopped off on a foggy day so couldn’t see beyond the immediate tree line but the map shows each point visible from the lookout on a clear day.
Good bathrooms and there is also drinks, snacks and gelato available.

Great to stop at lookout Cafe!
Staffs are friendly and simple nice snack you can get!
Also clean toilet you can use!

Great place to grab a coffee or gelato while you enjoy the view. The only I will say is the view itself it being blocked slowly by the trees. Local government needs to sort something out soon. Don't have to cut down the trees themselves but maybe trim tops?

Nice view as a half way stop traveling south. Good ice-cream shop, fast food and a nice restaurant to your choice.

Beautiful drive down to the beach on the way home we stopped at the Bulli top gelato place and had the best gelato. It was fresh and clean

On the main highway, convenient rest stop just an hour south of Sydney. Good facilities, food, toilet and an information centre for travellers.

If you want salmonella poisoning this would be the place to go! My order: eggs Benedict. What I got: RAW EGGS. I sent the eggs back. The waitress returned, "the chef asked if you wanted your eggs well done". WOW! What a slap in the face that was. No I want my eggs cooked properly! I love a runny egg NOT an uncooked one! The egg white was still see through. She offered me another item off the menu to which I responded that I would never eat here again! The food & hygiene practices within this establishment need a good look into. Very unsafe and unhygienic. DO NOT eat here unless you want to get food poisoning. 1 star & thanks to my son for driving me to another restaurant after this horrific experience.

Nice view but horrible hot chocolate. Kids hated it. Maybe chocolate powder is too too expensive.
