Bird Watching
Bird Watching
A stay at Blue River Apartments is marked by the number of birds that you see.
The elusive Coastal Emu resides in the Yuraygir National Park. We have seen old man emu with chicks twice in 10years. We've had several recent sightings of a family of emus near the highway in freshly tilled fields. Let us know if you are lucky enough to catch sight of this endangered bird.
Common place is the Black Cockatoo and Pelican but the Frog Mouth Owl is a real treat when they sit on the balustrade at night silently observing your every move. The native pheasant often wanders by and birds of prey from the national park on the opposite riverbank patrol the river in front of the apartments and add an interesting dimension to our river views.
To help you with bird identity, each apartment has a copy of the Field Guide to the Birds of Australia or similar. We encourage you to add a date on the page beside any bird you may see.
Although not a bird, there is a green tree frog that appears around the apartments. He will give you a start but he is beautiful, so please look after him.

We had a wonderful three night stay in Admirals Deck apartment. Although the weather was very wet, the position was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view of the river. The beach is splendid and so easy to get to and we enjoyed many walks. Great for self-catering, and a short walk to the general store gets you a good coffee. Bed was very comfy - an important feature for us! Thanks very much. We will be back.

We had a fantastic time here. The fact that it was pet friendly was an added bonus, our boy Buddy had the best time too. The apartment was beautiful and Rod & Cathy are wonderful hosts. We absolutely cannot wait to come back! Thank you!!

Absolutely loved everything about this property, great view, amazing beds, so clean (house cleaner is amazing) its like a home away from home!
They have gone over and beyond with this property and thought of everything ppl may need while being away, they have everything in the kitchen a person would need to cook up a storm, they have canoes that you can use x2, board games, bikes, tennis rackets, great wifi, plus more!
Nothing you need to take besides your clothes and wine!
I really enjoyed staying at this property the owners go over and beyond! We will be back

Our family stayed in both the Quarter Deck and Captains bridge apartments for 7nights over Christmas 2018. It was the perfect spot for large families. Captains bridge has beautiful breezes throughout and lovely views from the veranda. Quarter deck has the most amazing entertaining area and gourmet kitchen. Both apartments kitchens had more than enough utensils, so don’t bring anything but your food. We put on a massive Christmas spread using all the apartments dishes provided. Fully equipped for adults and plastic for kids. The beds are so comfy with lovely decorative linen. And the added bonus of having a large 2 person kayak and 5 push bikes to use during our stay. This was our first time to Wooli, but won’t be the last. Thank you Rod for your hospitality.

Quality pet friendly accommodation. 5 out of 5
So good to find excellent, quality accommodation that is dog friendly. The apartment is large, very clean and comfortable. It has everything you need and is well located in a delightful setting overlooking the water.The beach is only two minutes walk away and our little dog Bob was thrilled to run free. There were a few friendly locals around but it was pretty much all ours to enjoy. Wooli is a place to relax and get away from it all, which suited us just fine.

Lovely Apartment - 5 out of 5
We stayed in the Admiral's Deck apartment for 2 nights . It is a large beautifully renovated 2 bedroom apartment with everything one needs available.
The view from the large deck is over the river. The deck has a very large table from which to enjoy the view, plus a barbecue and sitting area.
It is located near the bowling club and also the coffee shop.

We stayed in the captains bridge. We loved the veranda area, use of bikes for exploring the town. We stayed out of season so only ones there and was very quiet. This apartment has everything. Very well equiped kitchen, beautifully decorated apartment. We would definitely stay again. Close to beach. Walking distance to lovely cafe where we enjoyed breakfast. Wooli pub serves the best pizzas.

Seriously this place was lovely. The perfect size for our family of five. The outdoor area was wonderful to sit in and have a drink while the kids played safely. The beach and river were close, the cafe walkable, this place is wonderful. There were people staying above us the whole time and we didn’t hear a thing! The small touches like the outdoor shower, the glad bags, the laundry powder and the coffee machine were great.

Great location right by the river, easy to pop the kayaks out for a quick paddle. Our host was very accommodating to our needs. Everything you need for a getaway and even better that we could bring our 2 dogs, to enjoy our adventures with us!

Rod's place is a great spot to relax and enjoy some quiet time. It is off the beaten track so you're forced to slow a bit. Unfortunately we were rushing through but would loved to have stayed longer. Rod was really helpful and a good communicator.

Beautiful and inviting apartment in a wonderful location. A quiet, sleepy, seaside town with a great coffee shop. Rod was a very lovely host and have lots of little tips about the area. We'll be back ☺ï¸

We were in town for a wedding and needed somewhere that was pet friendly. Captain's bridge was the perfect spot with the apartment being fully stocked and in the perfect location for everything we needed. Walked down the lane way to the beach every day which was just across the road. Definitely recommend this spot!!

Our family of four had a very relaxing, chilled holiday at Rods lovely, newly renovated Property . The location is fantastic, close to the beach with amazing views over Wooli River. We made use of the large outdoor veranda spending time with our family dog, BBQing or enjoying fresh Oysters from the Oyster farm a few meters down the road.

My husband and I have stayed at the apartments on several occasions. Recent refurbishments provide excellent, tasteful decor to complement the lovely location in Wooli, with both the ocean and the river at your doorstep. It's not only a great couples retreat but also a wonderful environment for family holidays. The owners take great pride in their establishment and provide their guests with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay, all year round.

We had the pleasure of spending a weekend at the Admirals Deck! What a beautiful place. Relaxing from the moment we set foot at the top of the stairs. The view of the river was enough to make us not want to leave! The apartment appeared to be recently renovated with everything you could possibly need (a small oversight of no tea towel however) The beds were very comfortable. We can't wait to return and would recommend to everyone! Brilliant place to stay and brilliant service also.
