Accommodation

Nous avons une caravane.
What else ...
we live 5 minutes walk from the beach, 3 minutes from the river, 15 walk minutes from city centre.
Coffs is one of the original family holiday destinations on the Australian east coast. Today the city attracts parents and grandparents bringing their children to the same destination they visited as a child, as well as many travellers between Sydney and Brisbane, including backpackers staying for a week or so. Less trendy than Byron Bay, or Noosa the town still had great beaches, a huge variety of accommodation, and a well developed tourist industry that has been one of the mainstays of the community since the 1950's.
Continue north up the coast to Byron Bay, or inland follow the spectular Waterfall way through Bellingen to Armidale, or south down to the Forster, and Port Macquarie.
The scenic village towns of Coramba and Nana Glen are a scenic 30 minute drive North-East of the main center of Coffs Harbour. Check out Mountain Ash pottery and gallery in Coramba and the local bakery for the valleys best pies and desserts. Visit the local winery in Nana Glen as well as the Kookaburra Cafe for lunch.
