On the NSW South Coast, around three and a half hours south of Sydney, Mollymook is one of those perfect beach side getaways where the beach is long, the people are friendly, and you can be as relaxed or active as you feel like on the day.
Just a stone’s throw from the harbour port of Ulladulla and a short drive from historic rural Milton, Mollymook is a popular getaway year round, so it’s always best to book ahead especially if you’re hoping to spend the holidays here.
While Veronica Mars fans know Mollymook as the town Duncan Kane disappeared to, foodies know it as the home of Rick Stein at Mollymook, the seafood restaurant that’s worth travelling for.
If you’re in a boutique hotel kind of mood, Bannisters by the Sea is the place to be, and a pet friendly luxury stay too. But if you’d like a whole place to call your own we’ve pulled together some of the best Mollymook holiday rentals and Airbnbs, with some Milton gems thrown in to boot.
