Tilba & Tilba Tilba

Central Tilba is the larger village in the area and no trip or holiday to the Southcoast is complete without at least dropping in for a look around the shops, cafes and galleries. There is a general store, a post office and the local pub - with the whole village retaining a unique historical look and feel. Central Tilba is the home of Tilba Cheese - and it is also where visitors can drop into the Dromedary Hotel for a cool beer, a counter lunch or just sit on the verandah and enjoy the pleasant surrounds.

Tilba Tilba is the smaller village to the south of Central Tilba. It features the magical gardens of Foxglove Spires and the cafe and shops associated with it. It is also serviced by Pam's Store, a genuine old fashioned general store where visitors can purchase just about anything they might need! The walking track up Gulaga also leaves from just behind the store, so it is a good place to grab some provisions before heading up the mountain (or relaxing with a cool drink when arriving back from the walk!)

Tura Tea House

Just north of Merimbula is Tura Tea House. Where you can sample a large range of exotic teas in a comfortable atmosphere.
