Coffs Harbour is really two towns one on the highway and the other near the harbour and railway station. The Marina: departure point for fishing charters and scuba-diving; whale-watching trips to the Solitary Islands (June-Nov.).

By day the panoramic views from your balcony take in the Solidary Islands & Coffs Marina, whilst many guests stay in Coffs Harbour to watch the whales or make the most of all of the Coffs Harbour sights and attractions which are just a short drive away.
Extensive parks with sheltered playground & BBQ facilities are adjacent to the beach. The nearby Marina is home to the large Coffs Harbour Fishing Co-Operative and a tourism fleet providing fishing, whale watching and sailing.
