If you are driving from Swansea:
Enjoy the beautiful scenery, Spikey Bridge,
Kelvedon beach, pass Kabuki Japanese
Restaurant, down the wiggly bits of the road
when you arrive at Avalon (the glass house on
the headland) which is on the left hand side - You
turn right at the next driveway which is only 100
meters further along from Avalon.
If you are driving from Orford:
After about 30 minutes
you will hit the water of Great Oyster Bay and Mayfield
Camp Ground and the road narrows and starts to climb up
a small hill. You will see the Rocky Hills township sign - turn
left at the next driveway only about 600 meters along from the
Rocky Hills sign. The turnoff is called Rocky Hill Dr.
Congratulations you have made it to the driveway! Go over the small stone bridge (circa 1830s) stay on the small corner of asphalt and then on to the gravelly driveway - head up the hill - it is 2 klms from here - it may seem like 10 but just keep going - following the RHR signs continue on past the turn off to the Lair - up the hill past the driveway to the Murray's continue on past the Rocky Hills stones gates - up the hill for another 600 meters to the next Rocky Hills Retreat stone sign - turn left you are nearly there, past the stone cairn (oval shaped sculpture) - and down over the rise. Yippee!
