About Us
Hawks Nest is situated at the southern end of the Great Lakes area and the northern shore of Nelson Bay. It is approximately 2 1/2 hours north of Sydney, seven minutes off the Pacific Highway.
The twin towns of Hawks Nest/Tea Gardens are seperated by the Myall River that feeds the magnificent Myall Lakes system. The towns are connected by the Singing Bridge named after the the eerie sound of the wind passing through its rails.
The area is a holiday haven not only for the nature lover but also families, couples or just that person who wants to get away from it all with bushwalking, fishing, boating, dolphin watching, whale watching (seasonal), surfing and 4x4 beach drives.
Hawks Nest is also home to a Koala Colony, where Koalas can be seen and enjoyed in their natural habitat. The main beach of Hawks Nest is called Bennetts Beach and in the near distance the islands of Broughton, Cabbage Tree and Boondelbah can be seen, a real fishing mecca for snapper, morwong and bream.
The local folk welcome you to share their little place of paradise.
