Things to do
Walk down and have a swim or a picnic at the river. Spot platypus at dusk or dawn just downstream from the swim spot.
Drive or bike ride the beautiful Promised Land Loop Road, just 5 mins further out from us on Gleniffer Road.
Stroll the Urunga boardwalk, especially beautiful just on sunset. Spot crabs and fish just below.
Have fish and chips on Sawtell headland, best take away from Sea Salt on the main street near the cinema. The tiny restored vintage style cinema is also a lovely experience. Check out what’s currently showing at Sawtell Cinema
Go up the mountain to see Dorrigo, the old style country town and visit the Dorrigo Rainforest Centre with the sky walk, look outs and many different walks. You may even see a lyrebird.
Drive the spectacular Darkwood Road (off Waterfall Way on the way to Dorrigo) up into Thora valley, stop for supplies at Thora General Store and find a swim spot.
Drop in for a yoga class. We recommend Yoga Bellingen. Check out their website for class and teacher info. www.yogabellingen.com
