Neighborhood

Lemon Tree Passage is a leafy, tranquil suburb in the Port Stephens region. This quiet retreat boasts a friendly community and is the perfect place to set up base for a relaxing holiday and escape from the daily grind. The neighborhood is known for its stunning sunsets, gorgeous native flora, and coastal walking trails. With plenty of delicious dining options and access to the surrounding Port Stephens area, Lemon Tree Passage is an excellent location for some rest and relaxation amongst beautiful vistas.

Head to Nelson Bay for a day of fun. As the largest town in the Port Stephens region, Nelson Bay offers a vibrant seaside escape with plenty of activities and experiences, including dolphin watching cruises and whale watching tours. Cycling the Bartlett Bikeway is a fantastic way to explore the stunning waterfront, stretching for 5 kilometers and finishing near the heritage-listed Nelson Head Lighthouse, built in 1875. Just a 2.5-hour drive north from Sydney and 34 kilometers from Newcastle Airport, Nelson Bay is a must-visit seaside destination.

For stunning views, visit Anna Bay, which is also within the Port Stephens region. In Anna Bay, you'll find Birubi Beach with its expansive sand and sea, perfect for swimming, beachcombing, or simply enjoying the view. Birubi Beach provides access to the Worimi Conservation Lands for 4WD vehicles with a WCL beach vehicle permit, available from several locations (more information on the official Worimi Conservation Lands website).

If water activities aren't your preference, there are plenty of other experiences nearby. The Irukandji Aquarium offers an interactive marine conservation experience with sharks, stingrays, and other sea creatures. Oakfield Ranch provides unique animal experiences, including camel rides across the largest dunes in the southern hemisphere and adrenaline-inducing 4WD tours exploring local Aboriginal history and sandboarding.

There is free parking on the premises, with additional parking available on the street. To fully explore the area, it is recommended that guests have access to their own transport.
