About Manyana
Manyana is a coastal village located in the Shoalhaven region of New South Wales, within the 2539 postcode. Situated approximately 35 kilometres south of Ulladulla, the locality is bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east and Berringer Lake to the west. Characterised by a quiet coastal environment, Manyana's population comprises a mix of permanent residents and holiday homeowners, with demographics leaning toward retirees and families seeking a holiday destination.
Local life in Manyana is defined by outdoor recreation, particularly surfing, fishing, bushwalking, and swimming at beaches such as Manyana Beach and Inyadda Beach. The village itself maintains a limited commercial footprint, primarily consisting of residential dwellings and holiday rentals, requiring residents to travel to neighbouring communities like Cunjurong Point, Milton, or Ulladulla for major commercial services, schools, and healthcare.
Historically, the area formed part of the traditional lands of the Yuin Nation, who maintained a connection to the coastal resources and surrounding bushland. European presence in the broader Shoalhaven region began in the early 19th century with timber-getting and agriculture, though Manyana itself developed predominantly in the latter half of the 20th century as a planned coastal subdivision for holiday and residential housing.
