Explore World Heritage areas and the rural hinterlands where you will find the most beautiful natural surrounds. Discover unique and historical villages whilst tasting your way through the most innovative food experiences.
Byron Bay
A town that needs little introduction – where you will quickly adopt the easy-going lifestyle. Rise at dawn to surf the early morning waves, practice mindfulness with a yoga class followed by an oatmeal latte or spend the day exploring the local food scene before heading to the Bryon Bay Lighthouse to enjoy a spectacular sunset.
Bangalow
The quaint town of Bangalow offers an abundance of experiences that are waiting to be enjoyed. Surrounded by farmland, fruit and macadamia orchards and groves of Bangalow Palms, walk hiking trails through rainforests that lead to amazing waterfalls and lookouts that you can see glimpses of the Pacific Ocean from. Discover local artisans and independent boutiques as you wander the main street before dining in one of the many character-filled cafes and bistros that are proudly showcasing locally grown produce.
Newrybar
A historic village, located halfway between Byron Bay and Lennox Head, where macadamia plantations are scattered along the country roads, and farm-gate stalls offer the freshest of produce for purchase. Known as the home of the award-winning restaurant, Harvest, that can be found in, what was originally, Australia’s oldest bakery.
Lennox Head
Whilst only 15 minutes from Bryon Bay, Lennox Head is a quiet, much-loved coastal town where the locals are on a first-name basis. With iconic cliff-tops and long beach walks, it is also home to some of the best surf-breaks in the world, and where dolphins will often be found catching a wave alongside you. The spectacular whale migration that takes place between May and November each year is a must-do experience.
Ballina
Renowned for being the home of the Big Prawn, this vibrant coastal town sits between the Richmond River and North Creek and is cyclist’s paradise as you explore the banks of the river. Just over an hour’s drive away, you will discover the spectacular Nightcap National Park that forms part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area before heading to East Ballina where you will find cafes and restaurants offering spectacular sea views and family-friendly beaches to swim at.
