Comfort & Calm in the Bush
Adventure in Meringo, South Coast, NSW, AU
We were unsure what to expect when we pulled up at the Congo Camp House. Immediately, we were struck by the clean lines and well-thought-out floor plan. The design felt spacious yet cosy and inviting.
We could have easily spent our stay just appreciating the quiet forest which the house seems to sprout from. Constructed using recycled timbers and repurposed windows, while the local wildlife comes right up to your door.
After waking to the sound of the ocean, a short drive brought us to the dramatic coastline of the Eurobodalla National Park. There we had the beaches, cool water and rock pools all to ourselves.
We left feeling fulfilled and connected. Every evening, we’d gaze at the stars until our necks were sore, and every morning, we’d awake feeling peaceful and refreshed. This idyllic, dreamy little home was just what we needed to slow right down and appreciate the little things....

Things We Did
- Beach
- Hike
- Starry sky
Staying at the Camp House poses a great opportunity for hiking - notably the Bingi Dreaming Track. The track stretches along 13kms of this pristine coastline, with stunning views and some great places to spot whales and other wildlife. If a whole day hike is little too much for you (it was for us coming into Summer) it's still definitely worth driving out to the beaches and doing a smaller portion of the track....
