Killcare Heights is located on a ridge overlooking the ocean, providing spectacular panoramic vistas. It's a predominantly residential area with a few select accommodations, making it a peaceful retreat. The main road, Araluen Drive, winds through the heights, connecting to the national park's walking trails and the beaches below.


Couples looking for a tranquil escape will find Killcare Heights ideal. The area boasts luxurious holiday homes and boutique hotels, many with private balconies to enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific. It's great for romantic walks along the Bouddi Coastal Walk or simply relaxing by the pool with a view.


For families, staying closer to Killcare Beach or Putty Beach offers direct access to the sand and surf. These areas have a more relaxed, beachside village feel, with cafes and a surf club.

The best time to go to Bouddi is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), as these months offer pleasant weather conditions for exploring the Bouddi National Park and its surrounding areas.


Autumn in Bouddi brings mild temperatures and less rainfall, making it ideal for hiking along the Bouddi Coastal Walk or enjoying the uncrowded beaches like Maitland Bay. The clear skies provide excellent visibility for whale watching from Gerrin Point Lookout as the whales begin their northern migration. Couples will appreciate the comfortable conditions for romantic strolls and outdoor dining.


Spring is another excellent period, with wildflowers blooming and the weather warming up without the intense heat of summer. This is a great time for families to visit, as the milder temperatures are superb for children to enjoy the beaches and explore the rock pools. The whales are also on their southern migration during spring, offering more opportunities for sightings from the coastal viewpoints.


While summer (December to February) is popular for beach activities, it can be very warm and busy.
