Taree is a city on the Mid-North Coast of New South Wales. It is a reasonable place to stop on the drive along the Pacific Highway. The nearby beach resort of Old Bar is often considered a part of the Taree urban area.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
One of the Big things in Australia, just north of the town. Once a restaurant and souvenir shop, the Oyster now forms the second floor of a car dealership and there are no actual oysters to be found. Breathtakingly tacky.
Join a tour to sample oysters fresh from the farm. By appointment only, BYO beverages welcome.
Australian-Chinese cuisine.
Standard-issue club with pub fare, meat raffles and nice riverside views. A reliable place to sample the local oysters.
Scrupulously clean motel with renovated bathrooms (2024) and a pool.
The Taree Highway Motor Inn is a clean and quiet 3½ star motel consisting of 17 ground floor rooms and 5 deluxe 2 room suites. Situated 1km north of Taree's town centre, the Motor Inn is close to restaurants, cinema, racecourse, sporting fields and the Manning River.
formerly Namaste
Quirky rooms named and styled after famous musicians. The on-site Flow Bar is the hippest spot in town. Close to the beach, 5 min walk to shops.
By plane
