The locality lies adjacent to Lake Conjola, a pristine coastal lake estuary approximately 200 kilometres south of Sydney and just north of Ulladulla. With a modest resident population of around 148, Conjola retains a quiet, semi-rural character shaped largely by its lakeside setting and proximity to Morton National Park.
