Tuross Head

Tuross Head lies on a flat peninsula between two lakes fed by the Tuross River. The town offers practical ideas for days on the water and on land: a foreshore cycling route, a longer kayak route, historic sites, a walk among Norfolk Island pines and golf. Which of these appeals to you most on your holiday can help guide your choice of holiday rental in Tuross Head.

Cycle along several shores

The Tuross Head Foreshore Ride starts at Kyla Oval on Hector McWilliams Drive. The shared, car-free path runs along the shores of Coila Lake, the ocean and the Tuross River. The round trip is listed as 12 kilometres. This makes the ride easy to plan as an activity in its own right during your stay; the route passes several different foreshore areas.

These details also make the route a practical point of reference if your group wants to split up according to interests or coordinate activities together: cycling is one option alongside paddling, golf and visits to cultural sites. If you want to get around by bike, you can note the starting point at Kyla Oval. The 12-kilometre distance refers to the round trip, not a one-way journey.

Kayak tour on Tuross Lake

Another option on the water is the kayak route on Tuross Lake. It is an 18-kilometre round trip: first heading north to Horse Island, then west through the river mouth to and around Borang Lake. The return route runs south of Horse Island. If you want to include a kayak tour in your holiday plans, you have a clearly described route and distance in mind.

Kayaks and canoes can be hired from OBrien's Boatshed on Nelson Parade in Tuross Head. This is a practical detail for anyone considering a paddling activity. The rental option and the route description are two useful pieces of information for planning; no shared starting point for the two is specified.

Little discoveries on land

Culture and local history are also among the possible outings. Historic boat sheds on Trafalgar Road are recommended for a visit. A plaque in Eva Mylott Park on Jutland Ave commemorates Eva Mylott. Both places offer specific destinations for travellers who want to discover local memorial sites as well as activities on the water.

At Tarandore Point, you can walk among the Norfolk Island pines in McWilliam Park. This green stop adds a park walk to the other activities mentioned. If you want to cater to different interests when planning your holiday, you can combine cycling, paddling and golf with visits to places on land, without following a set order.

Golf as another holiday option

Club Tuross has a nine-hole golf course with alternate tees, where you can play 18 holes. For golf enthusiasts, this is another specific activity in Tuross Head. The alternate tees explain how to play an 18-hole round there; the course is an activity in its own right, separate from cycling and kayaking.

When looking for a holiday rental, you can consider which of these activities matters most for your trip: Would you mainly like to experience the shores by bike, plan a kayak route, play golf or visit cultural and green spaces? Tuross Head offers several different options that can be prioritised according to your travel group's interests.
