From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
A man made lake, with BBQs, walk around the lake, and other walks into bushland nearby. Very popular on a sunny weekend.
Top Pub
Down to earth, historic pub in the centre of Mittagong. Very friendly to visitors and people passing through. Value food, drinks and accommodation. No glitz, but some glamour with old photographs hanging on the walls. May even find a craft beer or two next to the VB and Tooheys New on tap.
Slightly larger and a few doors closer to the centre of town than the Mittagong Hotel.
Poplars Motel
Offers ground floor units which open via French doors onto wide verandahs. Set in beautiful English-style gardens.
Opened in 1836 as a 'Traveller's Inn', the restored building - remaining intact after almost 170 years - gives visitors a unique window into Australia's colonial past. The original kitchen has been described by some historians as 'the finest example' of a convict-era kitchen remaining in Australia - one feature being the 'water-well' in the middle of the floor, hand cut into the shale below the building, a truly remarkable work of convict masonry and craftsmanship. .
By train
Mittagong Station is a major stop on the Southern Highlands Line, with hourly frequencies on weekdays and 2-hour frequencies on weekends.
The best way to see the local area is by car. Parking and traffic are not a problem, and the roads to most nearby attractions are paved.
