About Broughton Village

Broughton Village is a small rural locality situated on the Princes Highway on the border of the Kiama and Shoalhaven local government areas on the NSW South Coast, approximately 18 kilometres south-west of Kiama and 39 kilometres north of Nowra. With a 2021 Census population of just 95 residents spread across 9.56 square kilometres, it is a genuinely intimate rural community characterised by open farmland and the gently flowing Broughton Creek. The area reflects the South Coast's deep agricultural heritage, with a landscape shaped by generations of dairy farming and timber-cutting, and a predominantly older demographic of settled residents and hobby farmers.

Residents of Broughton Village enjoy a quiet pastoral lifestyle bookended by two of the South Coast's most beloved towns — the heritage village of Berry to the south and the clifftop coastal town of Gerringong to the north, each only around five minutes by car. The nearby Princes Highway provides straightforward access to the broader Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions, while Berry's excellent cafes, restaurants, boutique shops, and farmers' market are within easy reach. The locality suits those seeking a rural retreat close to South Coast amenities, including those who keep horses or run small hobby farms, with the undulating green countryside and creek corridors providing a peaceful, unhurried way of life.
