What are Moruya Waterfront Hotel Motel’s facilities like?

You can choose to dine on the riverbank, in the open bar and lounge area or in the cosy bistro dining room. The menu includes classic pub favourites, from burgers and steaks to ribs and nachos.

What else is there to see and do around Moruya?

Moruya is all about a languid way of living. Riverside setting aside, this sleepy spot is the gateway to numerous pretty beaches, and the town itself has a compelling pioneer past.

For a day on the sands head to Moruya Heads or Shelly Beach which are both perfect for kids. Bengello Beach is a big draw for surfers on the north side of the river. Take a scenic amble along the cliffs for panoramic views of the South Pacific Ocean.

Delve into the region’s rich history at the Moruya Museum housed in a historic courthouse before chowing down on a Capricosa at Church Street Pizzeria. Then, pick up the scenic cycleway from Russ Martin Park on the southern shores of the Moruya River to the hospital upstream.
