Lemon Tree Passage is a leafy, tranquil and attractive retirement centre only subdivided in 1962 (there were just 30 residents in 1931). There are several theories concerning the origins of the town s name. It is said that lemon trees were mysteriously found growing on the point by early settlers (possibly washed ashore from other settlements). Another is that they were in fact a native plant called cheesebush which is similar in appearance. A third concerns a lemon tree orchard grown by a resident. A particularly enjoyable thing to do in Lemon Tree Passage is inspect the native flora reserve in Helen Ave, the diversity of Australian plantlife is spectacular. Another two walks - the Mangrove Board Walk and the Lilli Pilli Walk - are located at the tip of the peninsula in Koala Park. Guarding the point nudged by Tilligerry Creek as it spills into Port Stephens, Lemon Tree Passage looks out across a narrow passage to Bulls Island. The township offers a variety of gentle, coastal walking trails and a central boat ramp provides direct access to the port s mainstream. Koala Reserve Mangrove Boardwalk Located on the far side of the marina, Koala Reserve is a foreshore reserve set amongst the eucalypts. A foreshore boardwalk starts at this park and meanders through to Nyrang Park. This walk gives a beautiful insight into the lush mangrove vegetation native to the Tilligerry Peninsula. Viewing platforms give scenic water views of the surrounding area. There are some great restaurants located in the beautiful Lemon Tree Passage area. The Poyers Lemon Tree cafe Club Lemon Tree Tides Bistro Kippys Lemon Tree Passage Distilling and Cocktail Bar \- Getting Around For those without a boat there is the Wangi Queen Show Boat or Koala Water Taxies to get out on the water.

Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short sailing holiday We stayed 5 nights at Skippers Landing and chose it so we could put our 14ft sailing dinghy on the jetty for which it was perfect. Unfortunately we had 3 days of cold, wet weather but we were snug in the studio apartment and managed 2 days of sailing. The unit had pretty much everything we needed ( a dryer would have been hand ) loved the shower and access to streaming services. Lemon tree passage is a quiet friendly little place definitely a bit off the beaten track. Had a great dinner at The Poyers only 50m down the road. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Grace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Grace-Hotel.h460380.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-PARKROYAL-Darling-Harbour.h22576.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hilton-Sydney.h16892.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Shangri-La-Sydney.h11974.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Sydney Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Sydney-Airport.h38420088.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Australia Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Tank-Stream.h11718621.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Sydney, Central Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Sydney.h24101534.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-InterContinental-Sydney-Coogee-Beach-By-IHG.h1747.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178315-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Amora-Hotel-Jamison-Sydney.h454969.Hotel-Information) > > [SKYE Suites Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-SKYE-Suites-Sydney.h24507540.Hotel-Information) > > [Little National Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Little-National-Hotel-Sydney.h54032015.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Harbour.h16764.Hotel-Information) > > [YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-YEHS-Hotel-Sydney-Harbour-Suites.h426104.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Sydney Wentworth](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sofitel-Sydney-Wentworth.h426577.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Harbour-Marriott-Hotel-At-Circular-Quay.h18811.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Sussex Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Sussex-Street.h25019183.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Kent Street, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Kent-Street.h19290784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Sydney.h15886.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Airport-Hotel.h5932305.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Sydney-Hyde-Park.h4807.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ywg/vancouver-to-winnipeg)
