Popped in at 5pm on a Saturday, a few tables left, staff were quite friendly and helpful, I could tell they were passionate about their beers after a quick chat. Tried a fair range while I was there: two mid-range stouts, a couple of hoppy beers, a Double New England IPA which was fruity & probably my favourite, and they even had 3 different imperial stouts on tap which was impressive. They had a burger cart on site with chicken or pork or vegetarian burgers on offer, but I tried the prawn burger for something different, and surprisingly it worked well, quite tasty. Just a welcoming experience all round.

A wonderful new Sunday market consisting of farm-fresh produce, artisan creations, bakers, gourmands, scrumptious hot food, and so much more! We're always planning our next event so make sure to check out our website for our market calendar, and a full list of our fabulous stallholders. Entry Fee donated to the Thirroul Men's Shed and Fishing Club.
The markets had a really nice vibe.. lots of Variety in the stalls and it was a pleasant drive from Sydney. Good day out overall.

Nan Tien is very different from most tourist attractions because there is so much to offer: the visual delights of grandeur architecture, art & culture including unique exhibitions & festivals, Buddhist festivals, vegetarian culinary delights, educational & healthy life style classes & retreats, accommodation, top class conference and auditorium facilities as well as beautiful gardens & walks. There is also the spiritual and religious experience that is unforgettable and even life changing for some.
I always experience the calm and serenity whenever I visit Nan Tien temple. Whether or not you are Buddhist, you will have a wonderful experience here. The temple is surrounded by a beautiful garden with many trees and flowers. There are a tea house and a dining hall upstairs which cater to vegetarian food. Simply Zen.

Fantastic view of Wollongong and South Coast area. A lot of parking and some easy walking tracks (the short one is 400m). There are toilets and a kiosk. Definitely worth seeing.
