While staying at Tee Jay S you can visit the region and enjoy some of the many tourist attractions we have to offer.

 Princess Margaret Rose Caves
The Princess Margaret Rose Caves are situated within the Lower Glenelg National Park. The limestone was formed by the deposition of seashells when the entire area was covered by the ocean. The caves were created about 800 000 years ago by seepage from the river which was then 15 m above its present height. They feature some spectacular stalagmites, stalactites and helictites.

From Tee Jay S at Nelson follow the Nelson-Mount Gambier Road for a couple of kilometres to the border then take the signposted right onto a good unsealed 12-km road which leads through pine forests to the caves.

 The Great South Walk
The Great South Walk constitutes more than 250 km of circular walking track which starts and finishes at Portland. Constructed by community groups it initially heads north through farmland, veering westwards through native forests and the Lower Glenelg National Park, following the southern bank of the Glenelg River to its mouth near Nelson, then returning eastwards along the coastline through Discovery Bay.
