Colonial Court Motor Inn – Your Private Retreat in Kempsey


The Australian township of Kempsey is filled to the brim with colorful history and embraced by some of the most popular tourist spots in New South Wales. Tourists looking for someplace private to spend their nights after a long day of exploring the nearby beaches and forest areas will find Colonial Court Motor Inn as the ideal place of stay.

Offering affordable and comfortable Kempsey accommodation, Colonial Court Motor Inn is strategically accessible yet tucked away a few feet from the Pacific Highway to allow privacy. A long tree-lined driveway with attractive lawns and gardens welcomes guests setting foot on the property. The Kempsey motor inn provides perfect 180-degree views of the scenic Macleay River.

About Kempsey
Kempsey, home to some of Australia’s earliest settlers, is at present a growing tourism and dairy capital. It is in essence a service town where historic buildings like the National Australia Bank (now a liquor barn) and the Post Office could be found. More important buildings line the railway in West Kempsey.

Surrounding areas include unspoiled beaches, some of them the best in the world. Surfing, snorkeling, and diving activities await adventurous tourists while those seeking relaxation are also sure to find it. Seaside resorts are in abundance with the likes of Crescent Head, South West Rocks, and Stuart’s Point and Grassy Head spread out along the coastline.

Protected natural reserves including Hat Head National Park, Goolawah Reserve, and the Limeburners Creek Nature Reserve promise discoveries of a lifetime. State Forests, covering over 100,000 hectares, include the World Heritage Werrikimbe National Park, the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, and the Upper Valley’s Hinterland.

The Mcleay River itself is a wonder to behold. It runs through forest country and the Great Dividing Range. Fishing, sailing, water skiing, and canoeing activities are readily offered along the river. The river also serves as a reminder of how early settlers of Kempsey lived. Country villages like Smithown, Gladstone, among others, reflect the good old rural lifestyle.

Last but not least, spend time with family and friends playing golf, tennis, bowls, squash, bowling, and horse and greyhound racing in Macleay Valley. Thousands of tourists flock the area every year to go bushwalking, surfing, horse-riding, scuba diving, and bird watching, as well as to see historic attractions like Trial Bay Gaol and the Smoky Cape Lighthouse.

What People Think of Australia?... and why I love my home!

I was googling for the topic: what people think of Australia, and stumbled over Yahoo answers.

I guess for most travel enthusiast, they’d long to know the people and the best tour spots of the destination. As an Aussie, I feel proud about this comment. As a traveler, it makes Australia truly interesting…




australia vacation

Australians are so heartwarming people,
maybe because Australia is warm.

Australia is a great place to be.
It has 2 of the wonders of the world.
The Uluru (Ayers Rock), which is the
largest known rock in the world and,
The Great Barrier Reef, the largest
coral
reef in the world.

Since I’m having this down on a Valentine’s day, let me spell out my great love for the land down-under.

Now, why do I love Australia?

Love note #1:
This summer is just perfect to pack your bags and plunge into Aussie waters. Australia offers lots of beautiful beaches and coastlines. When I feel like going out from Sydney, I head straight to Forster. There’s this Forster luxury apartment there perfectly situated near the Main Beach, Wallis Lake, and the less populated Pebbly Beach.
It’s real quality accommodation in Forster, just right for the family and even small to large groups.

I’ve landed on this Aussie travel and accommodation portal that featured El Lago Resort as a prime tourist destination. Well, who wouldn’t want to refuse the waters this summer? It’s definitely a treat for those going for a vacation in Central Coast, Australia.

Love note #2:
Now the gateway to most of Australia’s coastal resorts is Brisbane. For adventure start-ups, I think the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is fantastic! You’d have to take the river cruise to reach the place. For nature lovers, the Botanic Gardens should be part of the itinerary. It’s a shady reserve at the south of the city. You can check out for your Brisbane accommodation at Central Brunswick Hotel Apartments. It’s a hotel near several restaurants, cafes, shops in cosmopolitan Brisbane.

Love note #3:
For more rugged adventures, try Blue Mountains and its series of cliffs and its world-renowned Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage. I love the uniqueness of the area coz it’s actually a plateau surrounded with mountains. Just have no idea why they’re called Blue. Hehe! For travelers wishing to visit the beauty of this side of Australia, I highly recommend St. Mounts Boutique. It’s got landscaped gardens, plus a breathtaking view of the upper Blue Mountains. Service is excellent – Blue Mountains accommodation at its best!

Love note #4:

When things get busy in your travel, take on that short route north of Forster – that’s Taree, Australia. Here you find a pleasantly rural sanctuary for the weary traveler – Cundle Motel. It is budget accommodation in Taree. Cundle Motel in Australia is a quiet retreat, plus an easy access to the town’s recreational activities and water sports. Taree is known for the Mannning River.

Love note #5:

Australia breathes cool, fresh air in the Snowy Mountains during summer in Cooma, Australia. This place is really awesome! And most hotels here are well-priced accommodation. A traveler gets to choose from a line of budget to deluxe motels in Cooma. Try Sovereign Inn Cooma.

Love is not love without its origins. And I’ll forever be thankful for having my roots in Australia. The beauty of the land is enough to make a traveler fall in love with it.

Nothing is really sweeter than home sweet home.
