The Riverside Holiday Resort is located right on the river at Urunga and boasts wildlife galore – including native birds, fish and reptiles. Part of the Bellingen Shire, the relaxed little town of Urunga is located just 20 minutes south of Coffs Harbour, making it perfectly accessible for a quick run to the larger shopping centres, cinemas, sporting fields or a night out.

Urunga boasts a great boardwalk, close to one kilometre in length that takes you from the tidal lagoon out to the beach – perfect for a little exploration or fish spotting. As a tributary to the Pacific Ocean, this area offers numerous great beaches and surf spots close by such as Hungry Head and North Beach at Mylestom. The town of Urunga also has many local cafes, stores and shops to casually peruse.

Some wonderful walks are easily accessed from this hidden gem of a spot on our northern coastline. It’s also advisable to explore the nearby bushland at the town’s main beach of Hungry Head which offers rare coastal rainforest. Other enjoyable day trips include the world heritage listed Dorrigo National Park, Go-Karting at nearby Raleigh International Raceway, wine-tasting at the Raleigh Vineyard and Winery or a short trip to Sawtell or Coffs Harbour.
