Batemans Bay sits where the Clyde River meets the Pacific Ocean, and it is the closest seaside town to Canberra. For Batemans Bay luxury holidays, the appeal is a simple one: a long coastline, an estuary, and the chance to be looked after rather than doing everything yourself.
Below you will find the premium tour on offer, the kind of scenery it covers, a little local background, and a note on timing.
The premium tour on offer
Our premium experience is the 3 Day Murramarang Coast Journey with meals and villa accommodation. It runs for three days and is priced from AUD 1950.
You walk the dramatic shoreline of the Murramarang Coast, while a support vehicle ferries your kit between each day's destination. That means you carry what you need for the day and not much more. All meals and accommodation are included, and the walking pace is relaxed, described as low to moderate.

Scenery along the Murramarang Coast
The journey follows NSW's South Coast and threads through sandstone formations, open beaches and forested ridgelines. You stay in beachside cabins within the National Park, so the walking and the sleeping happen in the same landscape.
That mix is the draw. It suits people who want the coast without a crowded itinerary, and who would rather end the day with a meal arranged than a booking to chase.
Around the bay itself
Batemans Bay is on the Princes Highway, about 280 kilometres from Sydney and 151 kilometres from Canberra via the Kings Highway. Settlements in the wider area include Surf Beach, Malua Bay, Long Beach and Denhams Beach, so there is no shortage of sand to choose from.
Oyster farming has been part of the town since 1860, which is worth remembering if a seafood lunch is on your wish list. Snapper Island in the bay takes its name from the cutter Snapper, sailed by Lt Robert Johnston in 1821. The traditional custodians of the area are the Walbunja people of the Yuin nation, and their name for the bay is Yangary.
If you would like to add days either side of the walk, our pages on Batemans Bay resorts and Batemans Bay cruises are a sensible place to start. Our Batemans Bay attractions page covers things to see nearby.
The best months for an indulgent trip
Festivals can shape when you choose to go. The River of Art festival runs for 11 days and finishes at the end of the October long weekend. Sculpture on Clyde is a ten-day festival along the Clyde foreshore, and it is one of Australia's richest 3D art prizes.
Check our Batemans Bay events page before you lock in dates, since timing may suit you or may mean a busier town. For wider planning across the state, Visit NSW is the official tourism site.
A fair view on value
At from AUD 1950, this is a considered spend, and we reckon it suits walkers who like their logistics handled. If you prefer to set your own pace and base yourself in one place, a resort or apartment stay may fit better. Have a look at Batemans Bay specials for other options.
