Sitting halfway between Brisbane and Sydney, Coffs Harbour has long been a favourite Aussie destination for relaxed weekends away. Imbued with a friendly seaside atmosphere and the buzz of casual holidaymakers, the area contains a scenic stretch of coastline, pristine bush land and countless opportunities to view a range of marine life in their natural habitat. Home to a series of events around the year, Coffs Harbour is also known for its quirky galleries and homespun markets.
Visit an iconic lifestyle destination with today’s Groupon for: Sanctuary Resort Motor Inn
The Hotel
Set just back from the coastline in natural bush land, Sanctuary Resort Motor Inn is a relaxing location for travellers to rest and recharge their batteries. Resort-style facilities rise out of green gardens like a 15-metre pool with a twisting waterslide, tennis and squash courts, sauna and BBQ area. Peeps drive in or arrive from the nearby airport and are treated to a bottle of wine to kick start their stay. 
Shacking up in a King Room, Groupies spread out in the recently-renovated dwellings with their own private ensuite bathroom. Décor is stylish and contemporary, with facilities including Wi-Fi internet, Austar TV and channels and air-conditioning. A $20 dinner voucher ensures tummies are filled on one night of folks’ stay, while a late 12pm checkout on the final day is an added indulgence before guests depart the resort.
Groupon Recommends
Coffs Harbour is brimming with plenty of options to entertain travellers no matter what their preference. From May to November each year, the coastal area comes alive with migrating humpback whales, which can be spotted by walking out to Muttonbird Island or jumping aboard a charter cruise and venturing out to the turquoise waters. The Solitary Islands Marine Park is a prime location for a day of diving, where scuba enthusiasts can hope to spot moray eels, kingfish and green turtles.
For a dose of culture folks can head to the historic town of Bellingen with its heritage buildings and quaint shops or instead step into a World War II bunker and see quirky art at the Bunker Cartoon Gallery. Even more out of the ordinary experiences can be found with a visit to the miniature Dutch village or famous Big Banana, the original Australian “Big Thing”. When the sun is shining, peeps can back their swimsuits and hit the beach for surfing, splashing about or sandcastle-making. And on the weekend retail addicts find their version of heaven at the weekly Jetty or Harbourside markets.
Reviews
We were very impressed with our room (king size with spa) which was huge, clean and extremely comfortable. We also loved the private balcony overlooking the gardens with no-one looking on to us. Room service was also excellent
