Just 8 minutes from Port Macquarie Rental Village, the Sea Acres Rainforest Centre invites you to experience one of Australia’s largest remaining coastal rainforests. This peaceful sanctuary is where lush greenery, birdsong, and ocean air come together — a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and discover the beauty of Port Macquarie’s wild side.
Explore the Elevated Rainforest Boardwalk
The highlight of Sea Acres is its 1.3km elevated boardwalk, winding through a canopy of towering trees and subtropical plants. Stroll at your own pace or join a guided walk led by local rangers who share fascinating stories about the rainforest’s ecology, history, and Aboriginal cultural connections. Along the way, spot brush turkeys, goannas, butterflies, and over 100 species of birds.
Learn, Relax and Refuel
Inside the Rainforest Centre, you’ll find interactive displays, a gift shop, and the popular Rainforest Café, where you can enjoy coffee and homemade treats surrounded by tranquil forest views. The centre also hosts regular art exhibitions, workshops, and educational programs, making it a rewarding visit for both families and nature enthusiasts.
