Join us for an overnight stay in historic Boydtown. This town was established in by Benjamin Boyd in 1843 to service his properties on the Monaro plains. The remains of whaling stations and the local landmark Boyd's Tower, a stone spotting tower used to look for whales, are all nearby.

Boyd imported sandstone from Sydney to construct a lighthouse on south head. He also commissioned inns and churches, housing and store rooms, wharves and stock-yards.

When Boyd's finances collapsed, the town was abandoned from the 1840s until the first renovation of the Seahorse Inn in the 1930s.

We will have a coffee/comfort stop in Bodalla and lunch on the wharf at Eden, before continuing to our overnight accommodation at the BoydTown Beach Holiday Park.

This run will be limited to 6 cars.  6 4-star cabins have been reserved in the name of “MX5 Club – Anda Clayton” at Boydtown Beach Holiday Park: Home - Welcome To Sapphire Coast | Boydtown Beach Holiday Park.
