We’ve known for years that Shoalhaven is home to brilliant businesses, and this month many have been recognised at industry awards across the state. From 3 restaurants receiving a much-coveted hat at the Good Food Guide Awards – congratulations to Bangalay Dining, South on Albany and The Milton Hotel.
The 2025 NSW Tourism Awards finalists have also been announced and include a plethora of businesses from across the region, with winners to be crowned at the NSW Tourism Gala on 27 November. The 2025 Awards of Excellence run by the Caravan, Camping and Touring Industry and Manufactured Housing Industry Association of New South Wales are celebrating many of the wonderful holiday parks across Shoalhaven, with winners announced at the Awards Dinner & Presentation Ceremony on Thursday 20th November 2025. Good luck to all involved!

As we head towards the busy period, now is the time to make sure your digital details are all up to date. From ATDW listings to your Goggle Business Profile and social media bios, it’s a simple thing to do to help make life easier for you and your customers through the peak season. Checking your phone number, address, email and opening hours are all correct is a great starting point.
