A Unique Waterfront Wedding Venue in Batemans Bay
Celebrate your waterfront wedding in style on the NSW South Coast
“We chose Lincoln Downs for our wedding because the beautiful private lake behind the property gave our wedding a real country feel. The facilities were superb as was the food and service. Our photographer loved the natural surroundings for photos, and the parading peacocks who call Lincoln Downs home made the whole experience something to remember.” – David & Suzie

The South Coast – A golfers paradise If you love playing golf, you’ll love what the South Coast has to offer. Golf courses perched on cliff tops with exhilarating vistas across the ocean…or positively scary holes where the fairway is just the foam of wave on rock. Amazing wildlife, scenery, hospitable clubhouses, and very affordable 
Art for arts sake? In the tradition of days gone past, The Coast continues to provide inspirational art and design through its many fine galleries and studios that invite you to view and buy paintings, sculptures, woodworks, textiles, ceramics and pottery, and in particular, the Indigenous art of the region. 
Fantastic fishing The south coast between Batemans Bay and Narooma is well known as a generous (which means lots of people catch lots of fish) fishing destination, but it’s become even better since being designated as the Batemans Marine Park. Now the breeding grounds, like the sponge gardens, kelp beds, mangroves, and seagrass habitats have been protected, while still leaving over 80% of the Park available for recreational fishing 
Take a walk on the wild side Where else in Australia can you go for a long bush or rainforest walk and encounter birds, wallabies, kangaroos, possums, bandicoots, the rare tiger quoll, owls.. the list goes on. The area is home to some amazing National Parks and State Forsts
