Dining

There are no significant dining facilities within the airport itself given its small general aviation status. Visitors will find cafes, bakeries, and local restaurants in Kempsey town centre, a short drive from the aerodrome.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm any charter or flight arrangements well in advance as services are limited and irregular.
  • Bring cash as facilities at the aerodrome are minimal and card payment options may not be available on-site.
  • The Macleay Valley and nearby Crescent Head are worth exploring if you have time before or after your flight.
  • Check weather conditions carefully as coastal mid-North Coast weather can change quickly and affect light aircraft operations.
