Local attractions

Cross the Singing Bridge over the Myall River from Tea Gardens to the popular coastal holiday destination of Hawks Nest, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by stunning beaches and waterways. There are wonderful cafes, restaurants, and spaces for people to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The calm, turquoise waters of Port Stephens are to the south; a wonderful, patrolled surf beach to the east; and the Myall Lakes National Park to the north, which is home to as many species of bird as Kakadu! There are plenty of ways to get involved and enjoy the local area and the company of welcoming, like-minded people.

For added peace of mind, should you ever need residential care, we also have the Peter Sinclair Gardens nursing home located a few kilometres away in Hawks Nest catering for 64 residents.

At Tea Gardens Grange, you will experience a truly liberating lifestyle that allows you to embrace the very best version of yourself. To learn more about the lifestyle you will enjoy, please book your personal guided tour by calling 02 4997 2262.
