Lovely location overlooking the inlet. It may not be new, large and modern but this place is charming and has everything you need. Walpole is a great base for exploring the local national parks whether by walking, bike riding or kayaking. The town is charming and the locals very friendly and helpful. Would recommend visiting local beaches, WoW boat tour, Nornabar for lunch, and paddling up Franklin River to Monastery Landing. more than enough to keep us entertained for five days.
