Lemon Tree Passage is a leafy, tranquil and attractive retirement centre only subdivided in 1962 (there were just 30 residents in 1931). There are several theories concerning the origins of the town s name.
It is said that lemon trees were mysteriously found growing on the point by early settlers (possibly washed ashore from other settlements). Another is that they were in fact a native plant called cheesebush which is similar in appearance. A third concerns a lemon tree orchard grown by a resident.
A particularly enjoyable thing to do in Lemon Tree Passage is inspect the native flora reserve in Helen Ave, the diversity of Australian plantlife is spectacular. Another two walks - the Mangrove Board Walk and the Lilli Pilli Walk - are located at the tip of the peninsula in Koala Park.
Guarding the point nudged by Tilligerry Creek as it spills into Port Stephens, Lemon Tree Passage looks out across a narrow passage to Bulls Island.
The township offers a variety of gentle, coastal walking trails and a central boat ramp provides direct access to the port s mainstream.
Koala Reserve Mangrove Boardwalk
Located on the far side of the marina, Koala Reserve is a foreshore reserve set amongst the eucalypts. A foreshore boardwalk starts at this park and meanders through to Nyrang Park. This walk gives a beautiful insight into the lush mangrove vegetation native to the Tilligerry Peninsula. Viewing platforms give scenic water views of the surrounding area.
There is some great restaurants located in the beautiful Lemon Tree Passage area.

I totally recommend this spot, lovely little apartment, with outdoor seating by the water, quiet and relaxing. This is a perfect spot for recharging batteries. There is a lovely restaurant just next door.

Short sailing holiday
We stayed 5 nights at Skippers Landing and chose it so we could put our 14ft sailing dinghy on the jetty for which it was perfect. Unfortunately we had 3 days of cold, wet weather but we were snug in the studio apartment and managed 2 days of sailing. The unit had pretty much everything we needed ( a dryer would have been hand ) loved the shower and access to streaming services. Lemon tree passage is a quiet friendly little place definitely a bit off the beaten track. Had a great dinner at The Poyers only 50m down the road.
