A short tour from your overnight lighthouse accommodation, to the coastal edge of Norah Head, takes you to Norah Head Beach Haus - which is actually a cafe! This quaint and stylish brunch spot is the perfect spot to bask in the great outdoors with a hot cuppa and freshly-made brekky roll surrounded by a nature reserve, with an epic lookout just a minutes' walk. Hear waves crashing against the headland, where the historic Norah Head lighthouse stands watch.

Who knew an indoor plant-lovers paradise was growing in Toukley. Noraville Green stocks a unique jungle of beautiful indoor and tropical garden plants to transform your favourite spaces at home into green sanctuaries. They also sell gorgeous outdoor lifestyle goodies, and their expert team will pot plant purchases on the spot for you.

Joining the Toukley Main Road action in late 2021, stop by the new Lou's Cafe for a cut above your normal brunch spot. The team serve fresh breakfasts, brunches and burgers with great outdoor seating to enjoy your lunch. Plus there's a stylish barbers on site too for ultimate convenience if someone in your crew needs a fresh hairdo.

Fancy a day on the green? Tee up at Toukley Golf Club, an 18-hole championship golf course perched on the picturesque bushland of Budgewoi Lake. It’s also home to breeding sites for the magnificent eagle (naturally the Club’s logo), so expect birdies all round...

Enjoy food as good as the view at the Central Coast’s Hampton-styled waterfront dining destination, The Beachie. Reserve your own cabana overlooking the mirror-like lake to enjoy live music, woodfired pizza and even try their signature ‘Beachie Le Sands’ cocktail. If you're a family there's even a kid’s play area and seasonal petting zoo.

Walk just moments to find your overnight abode, complete with uninterrupted views of Budgewoi Lake. The Beachie offers guests Hamptons-style boutique rooms as part of their water's edge establishment, which are 100% family-friendly. You'll awake revived for the next day’s adventures, whether they involve beach, bush or cafe, all a few minutes from your doorstep.

Have you ever heard of a cria? If you haven't, don't fret. You're about to find out precisely what a cria is because you'll be having breakfast with a whole bunch of them! Your first stop for Day 2 is Iris Lodge Alpacas, where you'll get to tour the farm early morning, soak up the serenity, feed some baby alpacas (AKA crias!) and enjoy a wholesome breakfast for yourself. 

The Wyong Milk Factory was established in 1906 and has been transformed into a collective of stores featuring local produce, boutique shops and cafes. There are many unique products that you'll want to take home for later, so bring your #EmptyEsky! Our top three picks are Little Creek Cheese for award-winning handmade gourmet fromage; Daily Dough Co for soft, fluffy doughnuts; and Luka Chocolates for artisan chocolate made with locally-sourced products.

Once you've shopped up a storm and filled your #EmptyEsky, make your way to the Milk Factory Tavern for a hearty lunch. There are plenty of options for everyone, from pizza parmigiana to southern fried chicken burgers and an extensive Thai menu on offer too!

Your next stop for the day is to your accommodation for the night. From breathtaking views to the luxurious infinity pool overlooking the Central Coast hinterland, Noonaweena is the perfect place to escape, unwind and take some time out from the busyness of everyday life. With a day spa on-site, and plenty of bushwalks nearby, you'll be feeling refreshed and revitalised in no time at all!

It’s time for dinner, and your final stop for today is Angel Sussurri's whose mantra is to surround yourself with good food, good wine and good company. With a seasonal menu showcasing fresh local produce, it's the perfect place to end your second day exploring the Coast. The baked figs and Moroccan spiced chicken brochettes are superb! Make sure you leave room for dessert because there's a mouth-watering panna cotta.
