Exeter is a small village in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. It has an English town charm and feel. The town centre consists of a train station, an antique store, and a general store cafe. It is surrounded by residential housing with nice large gardens. There is one guesthouse available for accommodation.
Cityrail has a train service to Exeter. Trains run to Sydney around every two hours, or one hour during peak. Countrylink trains do not stop here.
Exeter is signposted off the Hume Highway.
The town only consists of two shops next to the station.
You can access other Southern Highlands destinations by train every two hours or so. You can cycle to Bundanoon (5 km) and onto the Morton National Park (another 2km).
A car would be convenient to see much of the surrounding area, and to get something to eat after 5pm.
Exeter is renowned for is gardens, and pretty country town feel. But unless there is an open garden that weekend, its hard to see unless you peer over peoples fences. There are not any always open gardens here, but you can walk the streets of the town easily.
Have a look around the antique store for something old or broken you would like to have. After than have a look around the general store. Then you are done.
There is a general store in Exeter, which also does coffee and meals. It closes daily at 5pm though, so is not really suitable for dinner. The nearest meal after 5pm is in Sutton Forest or Bundanoon.
There is no pub in Exeter. The nearest is in Bundanoon or Sutton Forest.
Handheld mobile service is not often not available indoors, or behind buildings. The transmitted seems mainly designed for reception on the Hume Highway.
Bundanoon is around 5km away, and has more facilities than Exeter.
