WELCOME
The Eden Visitor Information Centre is an award winning visitor centre housed within the iconic Eden Welcome Centre building at Snug Cove. A visit to Eden isn’t complete without dropping by the centre to learn all that Eden has to offer, and picking up a locally made souvenir of your stay.
OUR TEAM
Our centre is staffed by a team of friendly, knowledgeable volunteers overseen by Centre Manager Clair Mudaliar and supported by Supervisor Jody White. The volunteers staff the information counter 7 days a week, 363 days a year and many of them are proud to have volunteered at the centre for ten years or more. They are all Eden locals who are passionate about the town and surrounds, and look forward to sharing their tips and recommendations with visitors.
OUR GIFT SHOP
The centre is home to an impressive gift shop, showcasing carefully curated locally made wares including puzzles, jewellery, candles, pottery, art, souvenirs and produce. Peruse the range of books (including children’s books) that are by local authors or tell the stories of Eden’s fascinating heritage and history.
You can also visit our online store to purchase Eden goodies for shipping Australia wide!
EBIKE HIRE
Inside the western end of the visitor centre you will find a colourful fleet of eBikes available for hire. Grab an easy to use, lightweight Electra Townie Go! 7D Step Thru for a two hire with helmet and route map provided, then follow the trail from the visitor centre to take in the beautiful sites of Aslings Beach, Lake Curalo and viewing platforms along the way for magnificent views of Twofold Bay.
