Holiday houses & accommodation in Bonny Hills

Bonny Hills, 25km from Port Macquarie in New South Wales, attracts families who like exploring the outdoors. Its spacious holiday houses, cosy cabins and furnished apartments meet all family budgets, and the nature sanctuaries, beaches, and lakes make Bonny Hills a popular destination.

Beachfront Bistros and Cafés

For beach fun and dining, visit North Haven Beach, 8km away via Ocean Drive. Walk along the beach and work up an appetite before stopping for a light meal at the beachside café, where you can sit outside and spot whales frolicking in the ocean.

In town, cuisine ranges from seafood at a beachfront bistro to Australian fare at a pub. There's also a garden café with refreshments and light meals, including gluten-free and vegetarian options. If the kids like pizza, head to Laurieton, 8km away.

Nature Reserves and Beach Excursions

At Queens Lake Nature Reserve, 7km from Bonny Hills, spot koala bears, swim, and birdwatch. Nature-loving families will be enthralled here. Pack a picnic and enjoy it in the shady picnic site, or go swimming or windsurfing on the lake.

Your holiday cottage will offer easy access to Rainbow Beach, where there's a surf club at the Bonny Hills end of the beach. Bask in the sun as your teens swim in the patrolled area and your younger children build sandcastles.

Hit the Trails and Check Out Prizewinning Photos
