North Coast New South Wales - So much to see... so much to do... and simply beautiful.

That’s the way visitors describe the kilometres of crescent-shaped beaches, meandering waterways and green forests of North Coast New South Wales. These, combined with Australia’s best climate, offer the perfect holiday.

North Coast New South Wales stretches from Port Stephens to just north of Coffs Harbour and Woolgoolga.

Activities are many and varied; experience Aboriginal culture, canoeing, bushwalking, four wheel driving, deep sea or game fishing, scuba diving, whale and dolphin watching, river cruises, horse riding or even enjoy a camel ride.

On the coast, lighthouses, fun parks and theme parks provide a distraction from beach life for kids and the fun loving.
Behind brilliant North Coast beaches in valley and mountain hinterland quiet country roads, quaint historic villages and country towns, National Parks and World Heritage areas – our rural Australia.

Coffs Coast

Sprawling for miles up and down the coast, the area's many beaches make for perfect holidaying territory with surfing, fishing and sand-side picnics and barbecues amongst the favourite pastimes of visitors and locals alike. The banana plantations that fill the hills around the area make the landscape richly green and unusual. Coffs Harbour is great for city-standard shopping and is home to many recreational clubs and nightspots.

Port Macquarie & Crescent Head

Port Macquarie is a town which was established in convict times and, as such, has a strong historical bent providing interesting buildings and relics for the history buff while it also plays host to great beaches for surfing and fishing, an excellent local museum and a selection of walking tracks.

Port Stephens

Port Stephens is an idyllic coastal paradise where the emphasis is on pleasure. From the fabulous scenery typified by volcanic peaks along the coastline to crystal clear bays fringed by golden sand, Port Stephens offers the latest in modern comforts & a wealth of attractions to keep you occupied during your stay.
