Destination guide

Explore The Entrance from holiday homes to rent

Like your vacation rentals seriously easy-going? Bit of classic seaside glamour, a good dash of outdoor adventure and some tame pelicans thrown in for good measure? Enter The Entrance. Set between the Pacific Ocean and Tuggerah Lakes, The Entrance vacation rentals are the perfect choice if you're looking for long, spacious beaches, a wide choice of water sports, and coastal adventures in Wyrrabalong National Park. The Entrance is popular with well-to-do folk, but the real celebrities round here are the flock of pelicans that get fed each day in Memorial Park, and the whales that pass by during their annual migration.

Things to do

Attractions near holiday accommodation in The Entrance

There are some things about The Entrance vacation rentals that you just don't find anywhere else. Take the daily pelican feeding, for example. Taking place at 3.30pm in Memorial Park, it's a spectacle that kids and adults alike will love. The Entrance has also got a couple of museums that you could check out on a rainy day. There's a little shell museum, plus a military museum with exhibits from as far back as the Boer War. And if you're the sort who hankers for the gleam of highly polished chrome, take a half-hour drive over to the Gosford Classic Car Museum.

At least there's usually a nice maritime breeze to keep the air moving. Spring and autumn are both gorgeous seasons for The Entrance vacation rentals and, while winter can be a bit cooler, there's one big bonus in the form of the annual whale migration.
