Bomaderry offers housing for people on a variety of budgets. Overall, it is a good place to live, but BEWARE of the STINK!

There is a large factory (Manildra) on the right side of Bolong Road just outside of Bomaderry as you head towards Shoalhaven Heads (it's the one with all the metal tanks and pipes in it). They produce various foodstuffs and ethanol from grain products. Often, when the wind is in the right (or wrong) direction this factory covers parts of Bomaderry with a filthy reek (I think it smells like Vegemite mixed with water and left out in the sun for a few weeks) which can hang around for days. The worst affected area is down around the shops across from the railway station, but depending which way the wind is blowing it can reach all areas (for example, a summer nor' easter will blow it back into Central Nowra).

Check with trustworthy locals regarding the stink status of the area you are buying into - and factor this into your decision making process. You have been warned!
