Clarence River Bed and Breakfast
Overview
Clarence River B &B, just 18 kilometres out of Grafton, is a beautiful riverside resort, a private getaway for couples, or a perfect setting for groups of up to 20 people for group holidays, mini-conferences, craft weekends, cooking retreats or water sports.

For group accommodation, a separate self-contained cottage can accommodate from four to twelve people and has fully equipped kitchen, three bedrooms all air-conditioned, two bathrooms (and another two bathrooms nearby).
Enjoy the private facilities including garden daybeds, sauna, massage chair, swimming pool, boat ramp and wharf, barbecue deck and loads of hammocks. Fish by boat or off the wharf. Abundant wildlife for bird-watchers and wallabies, echidnas and koalas for the native animal lovers.
A camp kitchen with the wow factor is available for cooking retreats. Get in touch with their team to organise a fun cooking experience with 6-10 of your friends, and to enjoy a relaxing drink around the feature fire-pit. You pick the cuisine, they provide the teacher.
