Harrington River Lodge

Leave the hustle and bustle behind and linger a little longer in serenity at the top-rated Harrington River Lodge — ranked Harrington’s #1 BnB on Tripadvisor — a laidback escape overlooking the Manning River that feels refreshingly remote and yet effortlessly accessible less than two hours from Newcastle.

Sitting on three kilometres of charming riverbank promenade on the edge of Crowdy Bay National Park with a nine-hole championship golf course and the beach’s champagne shores less than 10 minutes away, this tranquil lodge couldn’t be in a more relaxing location. Take a lazy boat trip down the river, follow one of the nearby hiking trails, discover nearby Port Macquarie and return to this riverside retreat for a plunge in the lodge’s alluring swimming pool.
