I headed to
Lennox Head, NSW on the weekend. Lennox is only 2 hours south of Brisbane and 1
hour from the Gold Coast. Lennox Head is surrounded by some of the most beautiful
national parks and rainforests you will ever see if you ever want to explore this coastal region
further.

We booked
into the North Coast Holiday Park. The
park staff was both friendly and helpful.
There is a choice of cabins, tent or caravan sites. The park is immaculate and has all the basic
tourist park necessities i.e. BBQ’s, camp
kitchen, dump point. It does lack a
playground and swimming pool though and sadly, it is not pet friendly.

My
favourite thing about this park is how perfectly situated it is to
everything. It is only a short walk to
the main street of Lennox Head. Ideal if you fancy brunch in one of the busy coffee shops. The surf club is directly across the
road. I’m also told the bowls club is a
great feed if you need a night away from the kitchen. All within easy walking distance.
I didn’t
see a lot of children in the park but maybe they were all at Lake Ainsworth
Recreation Area, which is a tea-tree stained dunal lake right beside
the holiday park. This lovely, well grassed recreation area has barbecues,
picnic tables and a couple of blocks of toilets very close by. It is perfect for swimming, stand-up paddle
boarding, kayaking or canoeing. Ideal
for children as there are lots of shallow areas and no motorised water sport is
allowed in this protected lagoon.

To the
front of the holiday park is Seven Mile Beach which is a renowned surf
beach. It was super busy on the beach with all the
little surfers having a club day and many bigger surfers enjoying some waves.

A lovely
weekend was had by all and both this holiday park and region come with glowing
recommendations from me. Definitely one
of my favourite spots as it is just that little bit away from the hustle and
bustle of Byron Bay and the Gold Coast.
