Sightseeing

Tea Gardens is approx. 15 minutes’ drive away and it sits along the beautiful Myall River with several lovely cafes & restaurants to enjoy. Tea Gardens has a Coles, a pub, bakeries, a butcher, a pharmacy and various other small shops. You can also catch a daily ferry from Tea Gardens over to Nelson Bay which is a nice day trip but advance bookings are recommended in peak tourist season to avoid missing out. A further 5 minutes’ drive is the stunning Hawks Nest - it has two main beaches (a surf beach called Bennetts Beach and a flat beach called Jimmys Beach) and a few more shops, cafes and restaurants too. Hawks Nest is the gateway to the Myall Lakes National Park which presents endless opportunities for adventure including the epic Yacaaba Headland walk and Dark Point Aboriginal heritage walk.
