destination Coffs Harbour

Coffs Harbour boasts an idyllic sub-tropical climate, and a diversity of environments from cool, temperate rainforest to surfing beaches.  Located midway between Sydney and Brisbane, it is also a great golfing, bowling and diving destination.

There is so much to see and do in Coffs Harbour for all age groups.

The Big Banana
The original Australian ‘Big Thing’, the Big Banana is situated just north of Coffs Harbour, right on the Pacific Highway. It has been a favourite stop for families making the trip between Sydney and Brisbane for 40 years now.

With the largest inflatable waterslide in the world, The Big Banana offers a great selection of activities such as tobogganing, ice skating and bungy jumping. The Banana tour, café and shop are certainly worth a visit.

Pet Porpoise Pool
This award-winning attraction is open seven days a week, year round, and features twice-daily performances by the talented resident dolphins and seals.


We LOVE coming here. Close to all we require within walking distance. We have been coming here for four years.
