Bega & Bega Accommodation
Book Bega accommodation online. Choose from country cottages, B&Bs, cabins, motor inns and motels.
Bega lies nestled in the lush Bega Valley, in the region known as the Sapphire Coast - on the far south coast of NSW. Bega is on the Princes Highway, approximately half way between Sydney and Melbourne. It is about 18 kms inland from the coast and 30 minutes drive north of Merimbula.
Bega is famous for its dairy industry – especially Bega Cheese. One of the first stops to make in Bega is at the Bega Cheese Heritage Centre which also houses the Visitor Information Centre. The Centre is located in Lagoon Street. If travelling from Sydney, it is on your left just before the Bega River.
The Heritage Centre building is a reproduction of the original Bega Co-operative Society’s original dairy factory. Stop to enjoy a light meal in the cafe, cheese tastings and local produce in the deli, or have a picnic in the pretty park near the river. Upstairs you will find a museum devoted to the history of dairy and a gift shop called the Spotted Cow.
While you are at the Centre, pick up information, maps and advice on what to see and do in Bega and on the Sapphire Coast.
