Enjoy Tea Gardens!

Tea Gardens is a sleepy township sprawled along the banks of the Myall River and steeped in a village atmosphere. Located on the southern end of the Mid North Coast in NSW, Tea Gardens is surrounded by magnificent waterways and parks. To the north are the Myall Lakes, east is the Pacific Ocean (just a stone’s throw away), south are the pristine waters of Port Stephens, and west is a hinterland of national parks.
