#TroverDetour

Camping trip 2012 - we were heading north and were in need of a break. Decided to take the next rest sign exit. Never had heard of Karuah before. The road deserted with only farmland on either side and a scattering of houses. Seemed like forever off the motorway. All of a sudden, we see the township. What a find! Situated on the Karuah river - this little township is famous for its oysters and its timber, celebrating it with a festival each October. There is an info centre and attached to it is a recycled shop called 'The Boat Shed' filled with many treasures which my hubby and I remember from our childhood. There is also the best fish and chip shop we have been to in NSW. Fresh fish off the trawlers from the mornings fishing trip. The owners are not the happiest people but that what makes this even more special as the food is unbelievable. There is a scattering of other town shops with a church who opens its op shop doors on Fridays and Saturdays and is run by the volunteers. Down by the river is a playground for the kids to have a run about. Its quiet. Its not caught up in the tourist trade. A small town with its own identity. We make this detour every year now. I recommend anyone to check out this quaint little town.

"Lovely spacious home. Beautiful surroundings and peaceful. Pool was very nice but underwater light was hanging out exposed wire. Lawn could have used a mow as made it more difficult to keep house clean as feet getting wet all te time. Also harder to play cricket. Outdoor lounge has seen better days. Beds were comfortable. Everything you need in kitchen. Second fridge not working properly in house. Overall we had a wonderful stay."

5/5 Excellent

"During my recent stay at Bannisters Port Stephens, I had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional hospitality and a serene environment. Accommodated on the fourth floor, the room was elegantly designed, featuring modern decor and a thoughtful layout. The standout feature was the sky window in the bathroom, which offered a unique and mesmerizing view of the starlit night—an enchanting touch to the overall ambiance. The balcony provided a close connection to nature, with friendly kookaburras and parakeets adding charm to the outdoor experience. Their presence enhanced the tranquil setting, making the stay even more delightful. The hotel also ensured a warm welcome by greeting guests with sweets, a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for a comfortable and inviting stay. Safety and convenience were well-prioritized, with an open car park that remained secure throughout the night. The overall atmosphere reflected a perfect balance between relaxation and refined comfort, making Bannisters Port Stephens a highly recommended destination for those seeking both luxury and a connection with nature.
