Groupon Recommends

Coffs Harbour has come to be recognised as a perpetual favourite among Australian tourists, wowing visitors with its singular combination of iconic wildlife and one-of-a-kind tourist attractions. Located a mere ten minutes’ drive from the hotel, Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve offers seafaring sightseers a glimpse of Australia’s grandest residents. Known to locals as Giidany Miirlarl, this historic reserve boasts a rich Aboriginal history steeped in tales of the Dreaming, as well as views of the region’s numerous islands. As a seabird rookery, the reserve offers peeps a chance to witness some of the area’s most beautiful seagoing birds while also providing the perfect vantage point to spot the occasional cresting whale.

Peeps in the market for a closer look at human’s slippery mammalian friends stop by Dolphin Marine Magic, where friendly families of bottlenose dolphins, sea lions and penguins await. With the majority of the animals rescued after becoming unable to survive in the wild, this park is not merely a fascinating attraction but also a testament to the spirit of compassion and friendship between species.

 

Any visit to Coffs Harbour would be incomplete without a wander through the area’s most famous landmark, the Big Banana. Only a few steps from the door of the hotel, the Big Banana holds a revered position as the first of Australia’s “Big Things”. In many ways, the Big Banana is quirkily synonymous with the Australian identity and evokes a sense of genuine patriotism tempered with self-deprecating chuckles. The Big Banana is accompanied by a fun park boasting attractions to entertain Aussies of any age including a selection of thrilling rides, an ice skating rink and an indoor snow slope.
