<h3>4 Day Self Guided Cycling Tour of NSW South Coast Trail itinerary</h3>

&nbsp;

Day One: Arrive in Thirroul&nbsp; 
Make your way to&nbsp;Thirroul, either by self-drive or taking the train. You are welcome to BYO bike/s or we will set you up on one of our bikes on arrival. Your luggage will be transferred to your first night of hotel accommodation.&nbsp;

Accommodation:&nbsp;Hotel&nbsp;

Day 1: Thirroul to Wollongong 
Your first day of seaside cycling is very gentle - perfect for getting into the swing of things. Today you&#39;ll follow the&nbsp;Illawarra Coastal Cycle Path, which takes you right into Wollongong via the beaches, lagoons and waterways of this lovely stretch of coastline. Generally, today&rsquo;s cycle will only take about 2 hours of actual cycling time, leaving plenty of time for stops, swims, ice-cream breaks and other diversions. In warm weather, make sure that you bring your swimmers, as there are numerous places to stop for a quick dip along the way.

Your accommodation is at&nbsp;Novotel North Beach Hotel&nbsp;in Wollongong, right across from the beach. Stunning ocean views, spacious light-filled rooms and exceptional service make this a wonderful stop. Enjoy a welcome drink on arrival, and breakfast is included in your package. The hotel is close to cafes, local attractions and the CBD.

Meals: Breakfast 
Cycling distance:&nbsp;16km&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Day 2: Wollongong to Windang&nbsp; 
After breakfast, start with a short cycle around the lovely Boat Harbour at Wollongong. Your route heads inland toward the Nan Tien Temple, a worthy distraction.&nbsp;Nan Tien Temple is the largest Buddhist Temple in the Southern Hemisphere. This unique experience has grandeur architecture, art and culture, unique exhibitions and vegetarian culinary delights. Here you can wander through the temples and gardens, or dine at the lovely tea house. Please note that you are not permitted to cycle on temple grounds, and that respectful attire should be worn for going inside the temples.&nbsp;

Next stop, you head down to Lake Illawarra, and cycle around the shoreline. This is an ideal spot for lunch, with the Tea House at Nan Tien Temple providing delicious noodle and vegetarian dishes suitable for takeaway. From here it&rsquo;s a lovely ride to the Windang Beach Tourist Park, your accommodation for the night, located right at the lake&rsquo;s entrance. Windang Beach Tourist Park is nestled between picturesque Lake Illawarra and the sparkling blue waters of Windang Beach.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Day 3: Windang to Kiama&nbsp; 
Fill up on a hearty breakfast at the hotel. Today&rsquo;s ride leads you to Shellharbour Village. With plenty of cafes and restaurants, this is a great place for an early lunch or morning tea. After navigating the quiet suburbs around Shellharbour, your route takes you through mangrove swamps to the mouth of the Minnamurra River.&nbsp;

From the Minnamurra River to Kiama is quite a hilly ride, so we recommend allowing plenty of time for this last 8km! (This is where an e-bike is handy!). This section is also very dramatic and beautiful with some great views &ndash; so it&rsquo;s well worth the effort and we guarantee that you won&rsquo;t want to hurry through it. This section also has some great swimming beaches and picnic locations, as well as a couple of cafes and some takeaway shops. These are marked on the maps provided. Your accommodation in Kiama is at lovely&nbsp;Kiama Shores&nbsp;(or similar). Breakfast is included.&nbsp;

Accommodation:&nbsp;Hotel 
Meals:&nbsp;Breakfast 
Cycling distance:&nbsp;25km&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Day 4: Depart Kiama&nbsp;

We will make arrangements to meet to collect hire bikes if needed and can transfer you to Kiama train station. It is about 1hr back to Thirroul or 2 hrs travelling back to Sydney.&nbsp;
