Lemon Tree Passage

Postcode: 2319

Lemon Tree Passage is a town in the Hunter Valley Region of New South Wales, Australia, in Port Stephens Shire. It is located approximately one hour from Newcastle.

It is located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula, surrounded by the waters of Port Stephens. It is a haven for koalas due in part to it being densely wooded and in part to the care taken by locals to minimise any adverse impact on the koala community. There is no pub, however much the locals wish for one.

In an area as stunning as Port Stephens with its crystal clear blue water, blindingly white sands and virgin bushland, a resort town doesn’t need a melodic name to grab the visitor’s attention.

But it helps and Lemon Tree Passage rolls just as sweetly off the tongue as its natural beauty entrances the eye. Guarding the point nudged by Tilligerry Creek as it spills into Port Stephens, Lemon Tree Passage looks out across a narrow passage to Bulls Island.

The township offers a variety of gentle, coastal walking trails and a central boat ramp provides direct access to the port's mainstream.

Lemon Tree Passage, which has attracted an increasing number of retirees in recent years, is one of the prime secluded spots on the southern shore of a waterway which is now firmly established among the finest aquatic playgrounds on Australia’s east coast.
