Taren Point in southern Sydney is the gateway to The Sutherland Shire, a region of natural beauty, which boasts brilliant surf beaches, four beautiful national parks and sparkling waterways. In our Winning Guide to Taren Point we share the best places to check out the scenery, shopping and sweet treats whilst visiting our Taren Point store.
See & Do
The nearest national park to Winning Appliances Taren Point is Towra Point, a nature reserve made up of mudflats, fresh water wetlands and sea grass beds. The reserve, accessible by boat only, offers swimming, boating, kayaking and canoeing activities. A perfect spot to picnic is the remote Towra Beach – you may be lucky enough to have the place all to yourself. For something a little more active contact Taren Point based business, Sydney Coast Walks. Sydney’s Royal National Park is the world’s oldest surviving purposed national park and Sydney Coast Walks were one of the first tour operators licensed to operate in it. Since 2009 Sydney Coast Walks have been leading guided walks along the Royal National Park’s incredible 30km coastline, showing hikers highlights of the park including Aboriginal engravings, the well-known Wedding Cake and Wave Rock and also sighting whales, depending on the season.

Eat
A short walk from the Winning Taren Point store is local favourite Bud Café. Hidden in the Flower Power Garden Centre (so you can grab some blooms for the garden too!), Bud Café is a great place to stop for drink. Their single origin espresso, house made fresh chai and matcha green tea latte all come highly recommended. You’ll also find a tempting number of baked goods at the café, including Brasserie Bread, Oregano Bakery cinnamon scrolls, Byron Bay cookies and Pronuts (protein infused donuts!).

At Alexander’s Café, also within walking distance of the Winning store, you can tuck into a big brekkie or one of their colourful cakes and enjoy it at their outdoor seating area.

Shop
There are a number of hardware stores in the vicinity of our Taren Point store so you’ll have no trouble shopping for DIY supplies.
For something a bit more unique plan your visit for the first Sunday of the month and you’ll find the Taren Point Foodies Market at Taren Point Bowling Club. Local farmers and artisans come together to sell fruit and vegetables fresh from the farm as well as homemade arts and crafts. There’s always a range of freshly cooked food on offer and it’s a great place for cooks to stock up on organic preserves, oils and spices.
