Yulefest on a Paddlewheeler 2024 - Illawarra
Yulefest, or Christmas in July, on a Paddlewheeler
Experience for yourself the joy of the Nepean Gorge and see why the Nepean Belle is such an icon after spending almost 40 years cruising the Nepean River. The boat's design was based on the Mississippi sternwheelers, and was the last hull project built by De Havilland Marine at Homebush Bay.
The location, good food, atmosphere and romantic old world charm leads to a truly unique experience.
The captain will give us a running commentary, everyone is welcome to roam around the boat and enjoy all its' many facets, while we enjoy a Yulefest lunch and dessert. Drinks are available on board for you to purchase at your own cost.
The cost of the lunch is $70 a head (not including drinks) and payment is required when booking.
