Activities

The surrounding area is one of NSW premier tourist destinations. Villa Lago is remote enough for privacy, while still just a short drive from spectacular sights, food and entertainment.

Here are some suggestions:

Drop a line off your own private jetty and perhaps catch a flathead for dinner.

Sleep - there are dozens of places around the property to doze including hammocks, sundecks, daybeds and the most comfortable beds you have ever experienced.

Picnic on the foreshore - with your own private lakeshore and cool, soft grassy clearings by the jetty you will love a day doing nothing with the kids and the dog.

Boating - put your boat in at the public ramp and moor on your private jetty during your stay. Enjoy a 10 minute trip to Forster and spot the dolphins in the lake.

Visit spectacular Seal Rocks - only a 20min drive away on the coast sits one of the most spectacular ocean reserves and national parks systems in NSW. Named after a major seal colony that used to occupy the site, Seal Rocks is truly magnificent.

Catch some sun at Blueys Beach - one of the up and coming destinations for personalities and celebrities, Blueys beach is magical with the architecturally designed houses lining the beach giving a cosmopolitan feel to an otherwise untouched coastline. There are also several cafes, shops and massage facilities in the area.

Take a morning walk along Elizabeth Beach - with the sun reflecting off impossibly clear water and the natural surrounds, you will never forget a morning walk along this private little beach.

The Green Cathedral - just past Elizabeth Beach, on the way to Forster, is an outdoor non-denominational church set among a cabbage palm rainforest. No mater what your belief, the Green Cathedral is a serene place to sit, reflect and admire the beauty of the Wallis Lake foreshore.

Pacific Palms Markets - held on the third weekend of every month, these markets are special. Most items are locally hand-made with some great bargains on local produce, plants and art.

Spend the day at Forster - Only 30 minutes drive north, Forster has all the facilities you would expect from a major tourist town. There are dozens of restaurants, cafes, boat hire, dolphin tours, cinemas and indoor activities for wet days.
