Meroogal, in the south coast town of Nowra, was built in 1885–1886. This delightful timber house, with its 'gothic' trimmings, is a charming testament to early days and early ways.

Meroogal is a house that was greatly cherished by its owners. It was passed through the hands of four generations of women from the same family. The women led busy and fulfilled lives and their daily routines encompassed domestic chores and the pursuit of their own genteel interests and talents. Furniture, household objects, diaries, letters, scrapbooks, photographs and clothes allow a very personal insight into a more private world of the family.

It is unusual for a house to be occupied by the same family for such a length of time, even in rural areas. Meroogal has survived to make its contribution to the study of our social history.
Meroogal in Nowra is open for guided tours only on Saturdays and Sundays (and Fridays during January). The tours leave on the hour. For groups, please contact the property to book a tour.
Due to the fragility of the property, shoes must be removed before entering the house and paper sockettes are provided to place on your feet
