Northern Rivers Restaurant, Accommodation & Travel Guide

Discover an endless stretch of Pacific Coast; lush rolling countryside dotted with quaint and quirky townships; rugged cattle country; mystical rainforests; and deep river gorges disappearing up into the mountains. It’s easy to see why Northern Rivers NSW was the birthplace of Australia’s environmental movement. In more recent years, the influx of city escapees seeking a more meaningful lifestyle has added a touch of sophistication. Health spas and luxury hideaways are now nestled in the hills and valleys of the hinterland, offering five-star accommodation and your choice of masseurs, naturopaths and pampering practitioners to soothe body and soul. For food lovers, seaside towns & country centres are now home to cosmopolitan cafes and chic restaurants. Or for an even more back-to-nature foodie experience, you can pick up your own fresh produce at farmers’ markets held every weekend, or meet the ocean and river trawlers when they deliver the day’s catch to the many local seafood co-ops.
