The main street of Bemboka can be like Pitt Street on a busy weekend, with the Bemboka Hotel, the famous Bemboka Pie Shop and the Drover's Rest Cafe all providing options for hungry travellers.

If you are looking for somewhere to stay nearby, the Bemboka Hotel offers budget motel-style accommodation. On Polack's Flat Road, two country retreats,  Giba Gunyah Country Cottages and Stroudover Cottage nestle at the base of the South East Forests National Park. Both are dog-friendly and Stroudover Cottage is also a getaway for gourmet food lovers.

Finding us

Australian Pottery at Bemboka is located at 24 Oliver Street, Bemboka, NSW, about 2 ½ hours drive from Canberra, 30 minutes from Bega and 45 minutes from Merimbula, taking the road through Wolumla and Candelo. 

This map may help you to find your way.

If Brown Mountain is on your route, take a moment to stop at Piper's Lookout. Opposite the lookout a gravel road leads down to a picnic area, Dan Finn's Hut and a quite wonderful tree fern boardwalk - worth a look but only if you are fit enough to walk down a very steep entry track.

Once in the village, turn north onto Hoskins Street and follow the signs to Oliver Street. The gallery is in the building with deep ocean roof at the end of the road.

There is parking on the property, and we are fully set up for wheelchair access.
