Allow plenty of time to explore the area’s rich and varied wildlife. Between June and November, the waters close to Huskisson offer one of the world’s best places to spot migrating humpback whales and southern right whales.

"Every thing was great ! The only reason I gave a 4 star overall rating was because when at 10pm trying to go to sleep, the noise of the washing machine or dryer were very noisy and I found it difficult to sleep. I suggest that they have restricted times for using the laundry and close the door"

Tourist info very helpful once licated. A pleasant wander around the maritime museum area and the mangrove boardwalk.. . Huskisson seems to shut up shop early and places to eat hard to find other than a good meal at Stone Grill

4/5 - Good
