About Meringo
Meringo is a small coastal locality on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, situated within the Eurobodalla Shire approximately 10 kilometres north of Moruya. The locality covers around 6.5 square kilometres close to the Tasman Sea, with a recorded population of approximately 143 people and around 98 residential dwellings — many of which are holiday homes or lifestyle properties. The area is characterised by its quiet, semi-rural setting near the coast, attracting sea-changers and retirees seeking an escape from city life. Meringo falls within the traditional lands of the Yuin people and the broader Eurobodalla region known for its pristine beaches, river estuaries, and national parks.
Meringo is prized for its stunning coastal scenery, with ocean views and proximity to beaches and the Eurobodalla National Park making it a sought-after lifestyle destination. Property values reflect this appeal, with median prices around $947,000 and a significant share of high-value lifestyle holdings. There are no shops or services within Meringo itself; residents travel to Broulee, Tomakin, or Moruya for groceries, medical services, and schooling. The area appeals strongly to holiday makers, nature lovers, and those seeking a peaceful low-density coastal lifestyle on the New South Wales Far South Coast.
Meringo falls under postcode 2537 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bega electorate.
