Travel guide Forster-Tuncurry

The mid-north coast of NSW is home to sparkling waters, glorious hinterland and all the treasures you could wish for when it comes to restaurants, shops and activities, such as golf.

And as any one who is a golfer – or who lives with one! – knows, they are passionate about their sport.  The other thing to remember is that golf courses are beautiful examples of man and nature working together, and they are always a great place to be, even if you are not a player.

Tallwoods Verve Resort is the perfect place for players and partners alike, and is a highly popular destination for family holidays as well.  It has a challenging championship course set in the serenity of Hallidays Point (just three hours north of Sydney) and is an easy three minute drive to the pristine swimming and surfing beaches of Black Head, Red Head and Diamond Beach, and only 15 minutes drive to Forster.

So if your idea of heaven is to play lots of golf on a challenging and maturing course, then this is the place for you.  Of course if your idea of heaven is to take advantage of the myriad sights, activities and attractions of a beautiful part of the NSW coast… then this is also the place for you!  A golf resort that is so much more…

Tallwoods is a resort in the true sense of the word, offering 4.5 star self-contained villas dotted around the championship course.  Each villa offers luxury and stylish appointments, such as the spa bath in the ensuite of each master bedroom, air-conditioning throughout and fully equipped kitchens, as well as the courtyard or balcony taking in the glorious surrounds.  Those not spending every moment on the greens will appreciate the TV/DVD/Austar,, along with the swimming pools and tennis courts, while the golfers will love being only a stroll away from the Pro Shop and Bunker Bar & Bistro.

How you holiday is of course up to you.  Choose to self-cater or make the most of the restaurant and bar in the resort (open Wed-Sat for dinner), or those nearby – or do both!  Choose from one, two or three bedroom villas and your stay at Tallwoods can be anything from a romantic week away to the annual golf trip with a group of friends.

Make sure that you stay long enough to enjoy the delights of the golf course along with the natural wonders of the region.  A marvellous array of nature’s bounty is on display in the area and you have the choice of beaches, lakes or the beauty of the Barrington Tops, all only a short drive from Tallwoods.  Then return to your luxurious villa to enjoy a drink and meal in the restaurant or fire up your private BBQ and relax with a glass of wine.

So for everyone struggling with the question of how to have a holiday that has something for everyone, as well as the essential element of great golf, Tallwoods Verve Resort is the answer.
