A Holiday Home Amongst The Gum Trees
The Local Area
Warialda is located in Bungwahl in the Great Lakes region on the NSW Mid North Coast, also home to Seal Rocks, Pacific Palms and Forster/Tuncurry. The Great Lakes is a glorious fusion of farms, beaches, lakes and national parks. Bungwahl is a small rural area just minutes from most of the attractions the region has to offer.
Seal Rocks is an easy 10 minutes drive from the property as well as other stunning beaches including Cellito and Sandbar, and Blueys Beach, Boomerang Beach and Elizabeth Beach.
