Lismore is the Gateway to the Northern Rivers Region and the Gateway Motel and Restaurant is conveniently located as your starting point to explore all there is to offer.

Try some retail therapy, go on the cafe trail, enjoy a movie at the Starcourt Theatre, or the latest production from Norpa. Ten pin bowling, the Memorial baths, cinema and a host of other activities will keep you busy!

Further afield, the Far North Coast’s famous pristine beaches including the most easterly point of Australia, Byron Bay, are a 30-40 minute drive away.
