Plenty or nothing - it’s your call!  Larapinta is a great place to relax and do little or to use as a base to explore and enjoy the beautiful Northern Rivers area.

Most major attractions are less than half an hour away. It is recommended that you have a car to really enjoy your visit.

The dog friendly beach at Lennox is nearby and it is less than a half hour to Byron or Ballina beaches, for surfing, swimming, walking and people or whale watching. (whales swim along the coast from June to November).  There’s even a nine hole golf course in Teven, two minutes away!

For foodies, great lunches can be found at the Harvest Café at Newrybar, Utopia at Bangalow and the Eltham Friendly Inn. At night, eat in or take a trip to Lennox Head for great fish and chips or excellent Thai.  Of course at Byron Bay there’s plenty to suit every taste day or night, plus live music on most nights.

The natural beauty of the area is all around, but there are several National Parks worth a visit. The Rocky Creek Dam and the Minyon Falls in the Nightcap National Park are less than an hour away and the colourful village of Nimbin is an experience.

As well, there are markets every weekend in one of the region’s towns, offering crafts, food, clothes, gifts and plants, as well as excellent local foods.
