South West Rocks might not be the most inviting name on the tourist trail, but this resort village at the mouth of the Macleay River is rapidly gaining a reputation as a bolt-hole for jaded city-dwellers. Just 35km north-east of Kempsey, it boasts a chain of safe beaches, river cruises, good surf and river fishing and relaxation.
 Nearby Trial Bay Jail presents a fascinating glimpse of the past. Built by convict labour in the twilight of the 19th century, the gaol was used as an internment centre for German nationals during World War I.
Just south of South West Rocks, in Hat Head National Park, is the spectacular Smoky Cape Lighthouse. A short walk from the car park up to the Lighthouse rewards visitors with commanding views to the north and south - a fantastic vantage point for whale watching or for just taking in the scenery.
Two historic cottages on site have been comfortably refurbished and are available for rental.
