We had a four night booking late April and loved the quiet beachside stay! We had never been to Wooli before and weren’t too sure what to expect, but with beach out the front and river out the back that was all we really needed!
We had sunshine the whole time and my husband had fun with a bit of body surfing but the surf conditions weren’t suitable for two small kids (4.5 and 2) - not sure what it’s like at other times of year - but the kids still had a ball collecting shells and jumping the front little waves.
A very short drive, or 10 min walk is where the river meets the ocean. There is a breakwall and little protected inlet that is perfect for kids swimming and looking for crabs. We hired a tinny to explore the river on a cooler day which was fun with the kids. All this info is provided by Melanie in a very helpful guidebook at the house.
In the other direction is the pub and delicious pub food and a Thai restaurant (within the pub). The general store is also in the same place and you can also get prawns and oysters from just behind it too yum! We mixed up meal times and had two nights eating out, and two at home cooking.
Suggest doing a grocery store/supplies shop before heading to Wooli as the nearest big grocery store is in Grafton 50ish mins away, and the general store has basics only and is on the expensive side for most things.
The house itself had everything we needed to be comfortable, including some games and books. Highly recommend a lot of time spent on the balcony watching for dolphins, having a bevvie or just pondering!
Thank Melanie.
