Where to eat and stay in South West Rocks

30 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in South West Rocks, New South Wales — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.

We hold 30 venues in South West Rocks — 14 places to eat and 16 to stay. That makes it the 112th-largest of the 1903 towns and suburbs we cover in New South Wales, carrying 0% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 43% are cafés against a national figure of 30%. South West Rocks is 13 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 6 cafés, 5 restaurants, 1 takeaways and 2 pubs.

5 of the 14 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are pizza (1), chinese (1) and asian (1). None of them is far out of line with the national picture; the mix here is broad rather than specialised.

On the practical detail: 2 publish opening hours (7%) and 1 have outdoor seating. That trails the 17% national average — worth ringing ahead rather than trusting the listing.

For a bed, South West Rocks runs to 16 listings — 12 hotels, 1 motels, 1 b&bs and guest houses and 2 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 75% of the town's accommodation. Accommodation is 53% of everything mapped here, well above the 25% national share — the signature of a place that hosts more visitors than it has residents.

Places of a similar size — Yass (30), Beaconsfield (30), Coonabarabran (30) and Rhodes (30) — average 23% accommodation. South West Rocks runs at 53%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. No venue in South West Rocks yet carries the six recorded attributes needed for its own page, so the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
