With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it'd be much more difficult to explore all that South West Rocks, 40 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Smoky Cape Lighthouse, Trial Bay Gaol and Arakoon National Park. Don't skip Taree either! Just 40 miles away, Taree Central, Taree Golf Club and Wingham Brush Nature Reserve are non-negotiable stops here.
