Restaurants on the waterfront lend a cosmopolitan feel to the city affectionately known as “Port”. Sunday brunch at the sun drenched sidewalk cafes are the perfect way to relax.

The commercial centre of the Macleay Valley, Kempsey, is situated on the banks of the Macleay River where a large family of geese also reside along with pelicans and many other water species.
