YURAYGIR NATIONAL PARK
Yuraygir National Park is at your doorstep, boasting many trails and coastal walks including the well known Yuraygir Coastal Walk, as well as beautiful isolated beaches, quiet lakes and rivers to discover. Swim, fish or surf to your hearts content. Or stay in, and watch the whales (mid June to late October) from the comfort of the sunken lounge.
AROUND BOKETTO
It’s easy too not venture off-site, which many of our guests have reported. However it’s certainly worth experiencing some of what we have to offer here on the North Coast NSW. Every Wednesday early morning The Yamba Farmers markets are on at Whiting Beach Carpark from 7 - 11am. In addition to picking up some delicious produce you can enjoy the beautiful coastal towns of Yamba and the must-visit Angourie Surfing Reserve.
Another great way to explore the surrounding coastal towns of Yamba or Iluka is by boat. Yamba Marina is home to many wonderful fishing and leisure charters suitable for small groups and families. There’s many amazing dining out options, beaches and shops in the area, for our recommendations please see Local Guide below or visit the Clarence Valley Tourism website.
