Strolling down Allowrie Street, you’ll find yourself transported back in time. Many of the original 19th-century buildings still stand, now housing boutique shops and cozy cafes. The crown jewel of the main street is undoubtedly the Jamberoo Pub, established in 1857. More than just a place for a cold beer, it celebrates local history and Australian soccer, featuring memorabilia of the late, great Johnny Warren in its dedicated room.

Community, like it’s supposed to be

The heart of Jamberoo beats strongest in its community gatherings. On the last Sunday of every month, the village comes alive with the Jamberoo Village Market, where locals and visitors browse handmade crafts, fresh produce, and artisanal goods. The annual Jamberoo Music Festival in May brings the community together in celebration and pure shared joy. 

For those seeking an active lifestyle, Jamberoo doesn’t disappoint. The Jamberoo Golf Club offers not just a challenging 18-hole course but also a haven for bird watchers, with nearly 100 species calling the lush grounds home. If you’re feeling adventurous, try your hand (or foot) at Footgolf, a fun fusion of soccer and golf.

Just a stone’s throw away, the Jamberoo Bowling Club stands as a testament to the village’s enduring community spirit. For over 70 years, it has been a social hub, welcoming experienced bowlers and newcomers alike. With its recent expansion into a multi-function centre, it continues to be a cornerstone of local life.

Tennis enthusiasts will feel right at home at the Jamberoo Tennis Club. With a history spanning over a century, the club offers competitions for all skill levels and regular social events that bring the community together.
