About Bouddi

Bouddi is a tiny locality on the Central Coast of New South Wales, situated on the Bouddi Peninsula approximately 80 kilometres north of Sydney. Covering around 7 square kilometres with a recorded population of fewer than ten residents, Bouddi is largely defined by the Bouddi National Park that surrounds it, making it one of the most naturally scenic and sparsely settled localities in the region. The area lies between Brisbane Water and the Pacific Ocean, offering exceptional coastal and bush environments.

The lifestyle in Bouddi is extraordinarily nature-focused, with the Bouddi National Park providing outstanding opportunities for bushwalking, kayaking, snorkelling, and coastal camping along the Bouddi Coastal Walk. The nearby villages of Killcare and Pretty Beach provide basic amenities, while larger services are found in Gosford and the broader Central Coast. Bouddi appeals to those who seek seclusion, wilderness, and coastal beauty, and is a beloved destination for bushwalkers and weekend visitors from Sydney.

Bouddi falls under postcode 2251 and is governed by the Central Coast Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Robertson, while state elections fall under the Terrigal electorate.
