About Tapitallee
Tapitallee is a small rural locality in the Shoalhaven region of New South Wales, situated approximately 12 kilometres north-west of Nowra in the broader Berry–Nowra hinterland. The locality spans a mix of farmland and bushland in the fertile Shoalhaven River catchment, with a small resident population living on rural properties and acreage blocks. Its position in the picturesque Illawarra Escarpment foothills makes it a scenic area of lush green hills and dairy country.
Tapitallee is a quiet retreat popular with those seeking a rural lifestyle within easy reach of Nowra's services and the South Coast's beaches. The nearby Shoalhaven River offers fishing and kayaking opportunities, while the towns of Berry and Nowra provide shopping, schools, and healthcare within a short drive. The community has a distinctly peaceful, semi-rural character and is home to a mix of farmers, lifestyle block owners, and families who appreciate space, nature, and the relaxed pace of coastal hinterland living.
Tapitallee falls under postcode 2540 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Unclassified (OT) electorate.
