Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kalaru?
The best areas to stay in Kalaru are along the coastline near the beaches, particularly around Tathra Beach or Merimbula Lake.

Tathra Beach is a popular choice for its long stretch of sand and the iconic Tathra Wharf. This area offers a relaxed, coastal village feel with a few local cafes and shops dotted along Andy Pooh Road and Beach Street. It's an ideal spot for those who enjoy being close to the water and appreciate a more laid-back pace.

Families often find Tathra Beach particularly appealing. The beach itself is excellent for swimming and building sandcastles, and there are often rock pools to explore at low tide. The nearby Tathra Beachside Holiday Park provides direct beach access and facilities that cater well to children.

For those who prefer water activities on an estuary, staying near Merimbula Lake offers a different but equally enjoyable experience. This area is known for its calm waters, great for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and fishing. Accommodation options here often provide views of the lake and easy access to its shores.

Couples looking for a peaceful getaway might prefer the Merimbula Lake area due to its tranquil environment and opportunities for leisurely strolls along the water's edge.
When is the best time to go to Kalaru?
The best time to go to Kalaru is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

During these months, you'll experience comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 18°C to 25°C, which is ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the area. The days are generally sunny with less humidity than summer, making outdoor activities like bushwalking in the nearby national parks, cycling the scenic paths, or enjoying the beaches more enjoyable. You'll also find the popular attractions and local eateries are less busy, offering a more relaxed experience.

For those planning a family holiday, these shoulder seasons are particularly good as the school holidays are generally over, meaning fewer people and often better value on accommodation. The mild weather is great for children to play outdoors without the intense heat of summer. You can spend days at Tathra Beach, which is just a short drive from Kalaru, or explore the Bega Cheese Heritage Centre without feeling rushed.

If you're a couple looking for a peaceful escape, autumn and spring provide a wonderful setting. The natural surroundings are at their most beautiful, with lush greenery in spring and a gentle warmth in autumn.
