🌿 Discover Audley
Sometimes the best thing you can do is turn your phone off, breathe some fresh air and spend the day in nature.
Right in the heart of the Royal National Park, Audley is the perfect place for a day outdoors.
🥾 Walk through the bush
🦘 Spot native wildlife
🧺 Pack a picnic by the river
🏊 Take a swim in the river or under a waterfall
☕ Grab a great coffee or something to eat at Audley
🚣 Hire a rowboat, canoe or kayak from the Audley Boatshed and paddle up the Hacking River
🌿 Slow down, explore and let the kids get outside
🦆 And if you’re very lucky… you might even spot a platypus!
Despite the broader NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service messaging around limited parking in the Royal National Park, there’s plenty of parking at Audley making it an easy place to start your day in the park.
Come for a coffee. Stay for an adventure.

5 things to do at Audley with the kids these school holidays
1. Become a Junior Ranger
National Parks has kids’ activities running from Audley throughout the holidays, from ranger skills to getting creative in nature. (Link in bio)
2. Get out on the river
Hire a rowboat, canoe or kayak from the Audley Boatshed and explore the Hacking River.
3. Go for a bushwalk
Pick up a map from the Visitor Centre and head off on one of the beautiful walks around Audley. It doesn’t have to be a big one.
4. Bring the bikes
The path out the front of the café is a great spot for little ones to ride and a pretty perfect place to learn if they’re just getting started.
5. Breakfast or lunch at Audley
Come and see us at Audley Dance Hall before or after your adventures.

One of the things we hear most after an Audley wedding?
“We didn’t expect the food to be THAT good.”
There’s still this idea that wedding food has to feel like… wedding food. Safe and predictable and made for the masses.
We’ve never really understood that.
We love food. We care about where it comes from, how it’s cooked and what lands on the table. And just because we’re feeding 150 people instead of 15 doesn’t mean our standards change.
We want your guests talking about the food long after the wedding is over.
And luckily, they often do.

When the Persian love cake is so delicious in the cafe that a bride has to have it as her wedding cake.

Families have always found their way to Audley. Kids by the river, birds being chased and breakfast somewhere in between.
Adventures in nature with a side of pancakes.
Our kids menu has all the favourites, best enjoyed before a wander by the river and a day of exploring
