The Locals

The heritage-listed village is the heart and soul of Milton, where locals and visitors alike indulge in the freshest local produce from award-winning cafes, restaurants and wineries. But there’s more than food and drink on the doorstep of this beloved town. Surrounded by coastline and national parks, Milton is a luxurious base for nature lovers and beach bums.

Nestled five minutes inland from the glorious shores of New South Wales’ South Coast, Milton is sought after for its enviable laidback and luxurious lifestyle. Both rural and coastal, Milton is the epitome of the best of both worlds.

Surrounded by inspiring landscapes, this heritage town attracts artists and craftspeople, both young and old. The result is a thriving community passionate about the place they live. This can be seen with a meander down Church Street, dotted with boutique stores, galleries, restaurants, bars and cafes, as well as the historic and always bustling Milton Theatre.

The Milton Village Showground Market is the ultimate expression of the artistic and culinary scene here. Held monthly, you’ll find over 100 stalls showcasing the region’s local produce, handmade goods and vintage wares.

When not frequenting the high street or market, locals can be found walking, surfing and soaking up the ambience of Mollymook and Narrawalle Beach.

When it comes to housing, available options in Milton largely range between heritage builds, cottage-style homes and rural estates.

Milton really is a little slice of paradise that balances a rural lifestyle with all the creature comforts.

Area Features

Vibrant Cultural Scene 

With a dedicated monthly market and main street dotted with galleries and a theatre, Milton is known for being a home to the arts. Residents can expect regular exhibitions, shows and live music from locals and touring talent alike.  

Unrivalled Nature  

Milton’s access to the South Coast’s pristine national parks is unrivalled. Morton National Park, containing the breathtaking Pigeon House Mountain and Fitzroy Falls is on the doorstep, whilst Budawang, Conjola, Murramurrang and Jervis Bay National Parks lie just a short drive away.  

Foodie Utopia  

With so much surrounding farmland and a nearby harbour, it’s little wonder this small town packs a punch when it comes to food and drink. From Clyde River Berry Farm to Cuppitts Winery, locally sourced staples aren’t hard to come by.  

Whilst plenty of families make their home in Milton, the population skews older due to the slower pace of the lifestyle and price range of homes. Many are locals who grew up in the area or those looking for a tree change and shift in pace. Young families, small business owners and artists are also increasingly drawn to the area which has become a cultural hub on the South Coast. According to the 2021 census, the population of Milton is 1538 with a median age of 50.
