We stayed at the C Bargara during our diving course and loved it! The sunsets were incredible from the fourth floor. Back in rainy Melbourne now…
Definitely check out The Journey Café when in Bargara. It’s a tucked away little coffee shop with amazing coffee!!!
I love Kacey’s beach motel. Stay there every time I’m in Bargara.
Great list, thanks for the info! We’ll be in Bargara around Christmas and look forward to our diving course.
