Ingenia Holidays South West Rocks

The South West Rocks coastline might be a mecca for surfers but there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the costal life on the New South Wales Mid-North Coast. Nestled on the banks of Back Creek, a scenic tidal waterway, Ingenia Holidays South West Rocks is the perfect basecamp for both water sports lovers and anglers, with the Macleay River Boat Ramp just two kilometers from the holiday park grounds.

Enjoy a sleep-under-the-stars experience and pitch the tent or put down the trailer legs in one of the 150 caravan and camping powered and unpowered sites, which include waterfront and ensuite sites. If you prefer the creature comforts of home, you can choose a cabin or villa – from a studio cabin to a three-bedroom deluxe villa. For water-based activities during your stay, book a surfing lesson, hire a stand-up paddle board, don a snorkel mask or book a fishing charter from the reception of Ingenia Holidays South West Rocks. Active holiday makers will want to pack walking shoes to explore the nearby walking trails of Hat Head National Park, navigating through Little Bay, Smoky Cape and Captain Cook’s Lookout. Learn about the local region with a tour of Trial Bay Goal or stroll the local town center, which is only a short one kilometer walk from the holiday park.
