Coffs Harbour (Nsw) Hotels

Coffs Harbour is a town on the Mid-North Coast of New South Wales, approximately two thirds of the way from Sydney to Brisbane. 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 minstays of the community since the 1950's. Leaning gum trees dominate Coffs' skyline, and the city nestles delicately at their base. Hugely popular with families, owing to a string of fabulous beaches, Coffs Harbour has been working hard to tart up its image. Consequently, it has a good stab at appealing to everyone and settles successfully on the ‘middle-Australian' market. Attractions swing heavily in favour of water-based fun, action sports, unabashed kitsch, and encounters with soft, fuzzy wildlife. According to one website, the CSIRO has somehow scientifically declared Coffs ­Harbour's climate the best in Australia. No arguments here.
