The estuary fishing enthusiast would love this area around Stuarts Point for fishing and crabbing. Little River cottage's big back yard is large enough to house your boat while you holiday with us.
There is nothing nicer than jumping in your boat and exploring the many estuaries that form part of the Macleay River system.  ... And a tip to the new to the area. Mobile reception is not good in parts of this river system and with many different directions to go, make sure you keep an eye out for familiar land marks or you are bound to get a bit lost.
If you have a kayak, then this is perfect for you as well, but not suited to jet ski's  as the many oyster leases in the area form a terrible underwater hazard for those that travel across the water to fast.

While cruising around you may be guided by pods of friendly dolphins that are always happy to play along side the boat.
I took this photo as we headed home from a lovely afternoon on the main river, simply doing some fishing ( and getting our dinner), and exploring.  You can never get enough of this!

Spring At Stuarts Point

Little River Cottage is alive with bursts of colour, with the Azalea's flashing various shades of pink and our lovely pinwheel Protea coming in a dark burnt orange, red and pink. We were also delighted to see one of the beautiful orchards in full bloom.

Bookings can be made at    Little River Cottage

 Pinwheel Protea

This delighted a group of guests we had staying for a week. They loved to have breakfast and lunches on the front deck and look at the orchard whenever they could.

They were also delighted to discover that our edible garden was for everyones use and they could pick fresh herbs every day. To their delight the strawberries ripened and were also happily eaten by the group.

Bulbs have started shooting and all around Stuarts Point small crocus flowers are starting to appear. In one paddock the flowers are like a spring field of colour with the flowers heads reaching above the grass. You can off course walk to this within a few minutes of leaving Little River Cottage.

Bird lovers would be delighted as Bee Eater Birds make their homes in the long grass and simply come out and crunch those bee's right outside their  front door.
