Moorland, NSW
Where to find us
Forest Springs is located at Moorland, NSW — a quiet rural hamlet tucked just off the Pacific Highway. It's the kind of place most people drive straight past. That's part of what makes it special.
Approximately 4 hours north of Sydney and 4.5 hours south of Brisbane — the natural midpoint on the coastal highway corridor.
Port Macquarie and Taree are both within 30 minutes, and the stunning Crowdy Bay National Park beach is just 15 minutes away.
The perfect stopover
Breaking up the coastal drive here is a genuinely good decision. Pull off the highway, arrive in under 10 minutes, sleep well in the quiet bush, and set off refreshed in the morning.
