Did we mention we are perfectly located to reach both the northern and southern shores of Port Stephens? And right on the Karuah River, so you can even bring your boat, launch at the nearby town boat ramp and head out by the water to explore. But if you prefer to explore by land, here’s some great suggestions that will take you all around our beautiful natural bay.

Karuah township

Our lovely local community has all the necessities for you to stock up your supplies for your stay, including a handful of food options. But the most popular meal option would be our local Karuah RSL Club. Their Chinese-Australian Bridgeview Restaurant serves lunch and dinner 7 days a week and they offer a courtesy bus to and from the park from 5pm each day.

Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens

Just a short drive will bring you to the popular coastal towns on the northern side of the bay. Here you will find spectacular beaches for swimming and fishing, great bushwalking and you might even stumble across an ice-cream shop or two!

Nelson Bay

The very popular and busy Nelson Bay is always good for a visit, whether you are checking out the boats at the marina, planning a fish and chip lunch  or heading up Mt Tomoree for the fantastic views. Head a little further south and discover the Anna Bay and the Stockton Dunes, where you can explore on a camel on the beach, or an exciting ATV tour through the dunes, followed by sandboarding down the slopes!

This is just a sample of all the delights that await you when you come to stay with us at BIG4 Karuah Jetty Holiday Park. Of course you can just stay put in the park, enjoy the pool and tranquil bushland setting and make sure you take in the daily views from our 250 metre long private jetty.

Check out our wonderful villa accommodation or caravan and camping and come and enjoy a friendly welcome and a relaxing start to your year.
