Ngununggula, Southern Highlands Regional Gallery

This is a beautiful gallery. It is repurposed from a national trust building and it is funded by the NSW Govt. They have a little shop and a cafe and the grounds are lovely. Parking is easy to access and the building is a pleasure to look at. I went to the 'New Dog Old Tricks' exhibition and it was amazing. It is a little out of town but well worth a visit.

Well worth a visit, and a good place to bring visitors to the Southern Highlands. This is a relaxing place with excellent art on display. The new regional art gallery hosts works by well known and emerging artists as well as offering hands on workshops and including locals of all ages in their themed exhibits. A beautiful location with lots of parking and a very nice cafe on-site. It's all beautiful. Very very clean and tidy with well kept grounds. Beautiful location, a number of gallery exhibition spaces, workshop/art studio rooms, clean and new toilets 🚻, small but interesting gift shop and friendly staff. Nice cup of tea too.

Entry is by cash donation box or tap tap visa card thing, both at the front foyer.

Suggestion: more outdoor art, but I like the serenity of the rural immediate surroundings, so any sculptures would ideally not clash with that.

Happy to support this part of Retford Park.

Wow, great exhibition space, nice staff and good Cafe.

EXCELLENT place to spend a few hours in a relaxing environment catching up with a landmark property of our early agricultural heritage. Beautiful buildings, magnificent gardens, wonderful forests of old growth trees, great natural landscapes and not to forget one of the most stunning pool/cabana designs ever.... and one copied all over the planet. Excellent art gallery and a pleasant boutique restaurant with simple affordable meals

Very welcoming place. During my visit they had a wonderfully curated exhibition called Occurrent Affair.

Possibly one of my favourite places in the Southern Highlands for absorbing the culturally diverse. This Gallery and it's ingenious board of Directors ignite a sense of passion, brilliance, and sanctuary for Art that needs to be explored.
Rubbing shoulders with some of Australia's most contemporary artists is always an eye opening experience!!

Fab art space and public gallery. Great new exhibition by Ross & Rothwell

Love the gallery, the design and significance.
A small highlight detail were the Giannuzzi benches in the beautiful space. We so wanted to get up those stairs too. The welcome from the wonderful volunteers made it even cooler.

the restaurant Hearth is so special ~ staff, food and intention all exceptional.

Wonderful community outing. Current exhibition is thought provoking and certainly worth a visit. Grab the details of the 2023 program as well. Looking forward to enjoying them throughout the year.
Always great gifts to purchase.

Ngununggula is such a great space. We loved everything about the gallery. The staff were friendly, the buildings are fabulous, the little gallery shop is well stocked and the Cafe makes an excellent coffee.

Fab art gallery specialises in indigenous art works. Has both permanent works and temporary exhibitions. I recommend this gallery. The building is in a disused cow barn in which the architect kept a number of elements from the days when it was operating as a barn. There is a cafe in the building. Word of warning as this place is hard to find via GPS. The position on Google maps is incorrect.

Fantastic, ever changing exhibits and great cafe. Lots of parking. Definitely punches above it’s weight for a country town’s art gallery. Love visiting!

Beautiful gallery located within the Retford Park - with a beautiful restaurant on site (see “Hearth” on Google maps). One must enter the park in order to get to the gallery. The exhibits rotate with an upcoming exhibit anticipated working weeks. I visited July 2022. The gallery. The grounds. The gardens. An easy day trip from
Sydney or make it a destination and stay in the area.
Ngununggula, meaning “belonging” in the traditional language of the Gundungurra First Nations people, is the first regional art gallery in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, officially opening in September 2021. Note opening delayed until 12 October due to COVID.

Our state-of-the-art facility is housed in a sustainably re-purposed Dairy structure located in Retford Park, the former residence of the late James Fairfax AC. Ngununggula offers rich encounters with artists and their ideas through an ambitious visual art and education program. From significant exhibitions, live events, artist-led workshops and talks, to school excursions and masterclasses, Ngununggula’s program aims to inspire curiosity, allowing visitors to have a deeper connection with artists, their practices and important matters of our time.

Wow, so peaceful and lovely cafe. Exhibition terrific. And so close to local National Trust building. The gardens are great.

Love it! Always interesting and thought provoking exhibitions, workshops for kids, great venue, great coffee, service and vibe!

Fabulous gallery with exhibitions and interesting events and classes, a good cafe, and the chance to walk through the gardens

Beautiful gallery, cafe and experience. Check out their classes and offerings. Highly recommend.

This morning we discovered this gallery. Children's artwork exhibition and dog exhibition were awesome. A great find.

Lovely gallery, always have quality art on display, and a beautiful space to wander through.

Beautiful little spot. We primarily came here for a birthday lunch in the Moonacres cafe, the food was fantastic. We also popped by the cute little gallery, which also had a room that looked like they did booked art/craft lessons for kids.
