Angourie Resort

Angourie Resort

8/10 Good
"The resort is beautiful, surrounded by forest and trees. Beautifully maintained, peaceful and tranquil. The apartment was clean and the quality of linen very good. My only comment would be that the addition of bed lamps would be nice. Everything else was great. We thoroughly enjoyed staying there and would do so again."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Palmers Island?
The best area to stay in Palmers Island is along the tranquil riverside, particularly around Palmers Island Road, for a peaceful and scenic experience.

This area offers direct access to the Clarence River, making it ideal for those who enjoy water activities like fishing, kayaking, or boating. The main road, Palmers Island Road, runs through the heart of the island, connecting visitors to local points of interest and providing a sense of seclusion while still being accessible. It's characterized by lush greenery, open spaces, and views of the river.

Couples looking for a quiet retreat will find this area particularly appealing. The serene environment allows for relaxing walks along the riverbanks, enjoying sunsets over the water, and unwinding away from busy tourist hubs. Many accommodations here offer private balconies or patios with river views, superb for intimate moments.

Families will also appreciate the space and natural setting. The open areas provide opportunities for children to play outdoors, and the calm waters of the Clarence River are suitable for supervised swimming or paddleboarding.
When is the best time to go to Palmers Island?
The best time to visit Palmers Island is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November).

These periods offer a pleasant balance of warm, sunny days and fewer crowds, making it ideal for outdoor activities like fishing, kayaking, and exploring the local waterways. The weather is generally mild, with comfortable temperatures great for enjoying the natural beauty of the Clarence River and surrounding coastal areas.

For couples seeking a relaxing getaway, these months provide a tranquil setting for enjoying the island's serene environment. You can take leisurely strolls along the riverbanks, enjoy picnics with scenic views, or simply unwind in a peaceful setting without the bustling activity of peak tourist season.

Families will also find these times advantageous, as the milder weather is comfortable for children to participate in various activities without the intense heat of summer.
