welcome to karuah

KARUAH is a welcoming village on the banks of the Karuah River at its confluence with Port Stephens, just off the Pacific Highway.

Ideal for a "driver reviver" stop, a short break or well-earned holiday, Karuah has a diverse range of services and accommodation, capable of meeting every traveller’s needs.

Sitting either side of the Karuah River, the village is linked by the old Pacific Highway Bridge. The river provides a focus for recreational activities for residents and visitors alike.

You are welcome to relax along the Waterfront; in Longworth Park with its child’s playground and picnic facilities, walk on the wharf or swim in the tidal pool. Venture under the bridge to relax in Memorial Park or watch as the Pelicans and Anglers compete for space at the boat ramp.

Port Stephens lays claim to the title ‘Dolphin Capital of Australia’. Karuah is often host to pods of Dolphins as they cavort in their feeding grounds around the bridge and wharves.

Whilst at the waterfront, purchase succulent oysters from any of Karuah’s world famous oyster farms.

At the other end of town visit the Karuah Centre for a chat with our volunteers, purchase some local art and craft, or take a gentle stroll through the wetlands to view the magnificent birdlife, and waterlily display.
