Outdoor pool (added by manager 02 Dec 2021)

Family-friendly waterfront holiday spot with a bushland setting
A 30-minute drive to Tomaree National Park; 40 minutes to Fingal beach
Outdoor pool, bike hire, bouncy pillows, go karts and watersports

Whether you’re relaxing on the waterfront, watching out for the birds and koalas or taking a kayak cruise on the water, unwinding is easy at Koala Shores Holiday Park. This family-friendly waterfront holiday spot in Lemon Tree Passage, Port Stephens has a splendid bushland setting that features wildlife such as birds and koalas (if you’re lucky)… so take a scenic walk, embrace the peaceful setting and keep your eyes open. Just half an hour’s drive from Tomaree National Park and 40 minutes from Fingal beach, there are many opportunities to get involved with outdoor activities nearby… but there’s plenty of that on site too, including fishing, kayaking, pedalos, large bouncing cushions, go-karting, beach volleyball, miniature golf and perhaps the highlight of it all, a spectacular resort-style saltwater outdoor swimming pool. When you’re ready to track down the local spots, hire a bike from Koala Shores and pedal for 10 minutes to gorgeous Lemon Tree Passage for restaurants, shops and more of the waterfront or set your sights on the free-entry, nine-hectare reserve at Tilligerry Habitat (10 minutes’) next to Tanilba Bay, where native birds and bush tucker plants reside in season and there are bites of local history and culture. Often referred to as a birdwatchers’ paradise, the bushland setting at this site means binoculars will come in handy. The place has a community-like feel and accommodates dogs, good news for any canine owners too.

Local attractions

Track down Anna Bay (half an hour’s drive) on the edge of Birubi beach for a stretch of sand that’s home to a surf school and other outdoorsy activities… whether it’s quad biking, sandboarding, surfing or even riding a camel, there are plenty of ways to get stuck in. With gorgeous beaches all around, there’s a wide choice for activities by the sea… a picnic, snorkel, kayaking, rockpooling or whale watching (in high season) from Fishermans Bay Foreshore (half an hour) in Tomaree National Park perhaps? An intimate visit to the marine life in the ocean at Irukandji Shark & Ray Encounters (25 minutes)? At Fingal beach (40 minutes), the surfing conditions are pretty sweet. The crescent-shaped bay also allows four-wheel drives for those with a permit or boat launches from the south end. A trip here wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Worimi National Park (15 minutes), though. An Aboriginal conservation area, one of the top ways to get active here is by hiking the Stockton Dunes.
