If you’re wondering whether the current fuel situation makes a trip to The Bower any more complicated, the short answer is no. With a little planning, you can still enjoy an easy, relaxed coastal escape from Sydney or Canberra without worrying about getting stranded.
Most of our guests from Sydney and Canberra are comfortably within a single tank of fuel once they hit the open road. The Bower sits just a short, scenic drive from the Princes and Kings Highways, so you don’t need to stretch your mileage or plan multiple refuels.

If you’re driving an electric vehicle, you’re even better set up. The Bower includes access to our Destination EV charger, so you can arrive, park, and enjoy your stay knowing you’ll have a reliable charge point on site. This reduces the need for extra fuel stops or detours and makes your trip feel more relaxed from the start.
Fuel supply along the Princes and Kings Highway corridors is generally stable, and there are multiple service stations within easy reach at each town along the route. If you ever want to double‑check what’s on offer, you can quickly consult your preferred Fuel Watch app or similar service to see current availability and prices before you leave.
