Royal National Park Visitor Centre

This area is fully wheelchair accessible.
- The visitor centre, Weir Cafe and pavillion are accessible via a concrete pathway from Triangle carpark (on the southern side of the weir, adjacent to the toilet facilities).
- The Audley Room is accessible from the parking area at the front of the dancehall on Sir Bertram Stevens Drive.
Call into the newly-refurbished Royal National Park Visitor Centre, located on the ground floor of the Audley dancehall. Here you can pick up a Royal National Park map and find more information to help you make the most of your visit.
Not sure which walk to take? The centre can provide a list of all the walking tracks in the park – from the easy to the more challenging – along with details of other trails, routes and personal recommendations.
Plus, with various arts and crafts for sale, Royal National Park Visitor Centre is also the place to go if you’d like to take home a souvenir of your visit.

Weir Café
Wheelchair access: easy
This area is fully wheelchair accessible
It took two years and a multi-million dollar refurbishment, but when Audley Dance Hall at Audley Weir reopened in 2011, Weir Café quickly made it the destination for visitors looking for a bite to eat in Royal National Park. Set amid native bushland with views over Hacking River, the café is a perfect place to kick back over breakfast or a hearty lunch. Birds forage on the lawn and rowboats drift across the river, with leaves falling from the trees in autumn. Royal National Park has always been a popular destination for Sydneysiders, and this is one more reason to make the pilgrimage out from the city.
