About the area

Located in Bungwahl, The Mainstay is in a rural area and near the beach. While the natural beauty of Myall Lakes National Park and Smiths Lake Nature Reserve can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can head to Great Lakes Winery. Snorkelling and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with mountain biking and ecotours nearby.

Charming simple cottage in the country, well supplied with charming crockery and quality bedding. It is a short drive from Seal Rocks and on acreage with kangaroos and plenty of space.
