The serene quintessentially Australian bushland setting offers rest and relaxation, however it can also become the centre of a full expedition experience. Excursions can be as simple as a professionally guided bushwalk or as challenging as a fishing excursion aboard the 38 foot Pretty Beach Launch CABO sports cruiser. Cruise to one of the many secluded bays or beaches with a picnic hamper.
Lobster Beach, Box Head and the surf break at Tallow Beach are all within easy walking distance, while Killcare surf beach, Maitland Bay and the seaside villages of Killcare, Wagstaffe and Hardys Bay are close by.

Take the exit signposted to Gosford / Woy Woy / Terrigal & Australian Reptile Park. At the fourth set of traffic lights (Kariong Hill) turn right into Woy Woy Road. It is well signposted. Follow Woy Woy Road for approx 12 km - you will cross over the railway line at the bottom of the hill. At end of this road (which is Rawson Road then becomes Allfield Road) turn right into Blackwall Road (at traffic lights). This becomes Memorial Avenue - turn left at the roundabout. Memorial Avenue then becomes Maitland Bay Drive, goes over the Rip Bridge and becomes Daley Avenue. Approx 8 kms along turn right into Wards Hill Road (BP Petrol Station on right & signposted to Wagstaffe & Killcare). At the top of Wards Hill Road (stop sign) turn right into The Scenic Road (signposted to Hardys Bay and Wagstaffe).

At the bottom of the hill, there is a T-intersection & a group of local shops, the bay is in front of you - turn left into Araluen Drive.
