What you'll find on our doorstep @Thora

 The rustic and well stocked Thora General Store is just over the bridge and has everything you could possibly need to supply a short stay including the famous Pitstop Hamburgers, staples like milk and eggs, a good selection of wine and alcohol, mail services, fresh local sourdough bread, pasteries and vegies, cheese board snax and petrol so you can fill up before sadly departing


The Bellinger River has a natural bend at Thora and this offers great secluded spots for swimming, kyaking or paddleboarding, or just relaxing on the grassy banks. Our propety also has 110 acres of bushland to explore. 

We are perfectly located to access...
