GPS MAY NOT FIND US!!

Follow the F3 Freeway to the very end.

Stay on the Pacific Highway and follow the Taree signs over the Hexham bridge. By-pass Raymond Terrace and also Karuah.

14km (10 mins) North of Karuah (and just after ¿the Rock¿) is the Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest turn off. Don¿t turn there but continue along the Pacific Hwy for another 3kms [which doesn't take long @ 110kph!]. Viney Creek Road West is the first exit to the left. You will see the signs and the deceleration/exit lane on the left-hand side of the road.

From the North: Follow the Pacific Highway through Bulahdelah . After about 25km you will see a VINEY CREEK ROAD EAST sign [that¿s not us]. Continue another 500m and you will see a VINEY CREEK ROAD WEST sign. Turn right into VINEY CREEK ROAD WEST.

If you miss the turn off and find yourself at the Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest turn off, take that exit and do a lap of the Round-a-bout and come back 3kms.

Lavender Grove Farm is 500 meters along Viney Creek Road, third gate on the left.
