Local Tip

Experience the true essence of the local life when you choose to stay at Rydges. There’s nothing quite like immersing yourself in a genuine local experience. One of the most remarkable experiences is taking a walk down to the Jezzine Barracks and up the goat track to be greeted by breathtaking 360-degree views of the East Coast of Australia. This historic site, once an army defence outpost, still houses cannons and offers a fascinating tour of wartime Australia, along with modern Indigenous artwork to admire. Don’t miss the chance to wander down the suspended timber deck to the beaches and take in the coastal beauty of Pallarenda, with its sweeping views of Magnetic and Palm Islands. And the best part is, we’re just a 5-minute stroll away from the NRL Cowboys’ home stadium! We’d love for you to share your local adventures with us on social media by tagging us at @rydgestownsville. We can’t wait to see the incredible experiences you have during your stay!
