 Coffs Harbour is a bustling and busy seaside holiday city which has grown from a small country town into a mecca for holiday makers and sea changers alike. The city is surrounded by the natural beauty of the sub-tropical rainforests, pristine marine reserves, white sandy beaches and visitors to the city are well catered for with a wide range of fun holiday activities for the whole family. If you are in search of a destination for your campervan hire Australia holiday then Coffs Harbour is a great choice.
Coffs Harbour is a coastal city located in northern New South Wales, almost half way between our campervan rental Sydney branch and our campervan rental Brisbane branch. The city serves as the major regional centre for a stretch of coast commonly referred to by locals as the "Coffs Coast". It encompasses a stretch of coastline starting in the north from Woolgoola and Coffs Harbour south to Nambucca and Scotts Head and west to the town of Bellingen and beyond to the Dorrigo National Park.
The scenic coastal roads and hinterland towns and villages of Coffs Coast make ideal touring routes. The smooth bitumen of the Pacific Highway is specially designed for ease of travel however if you never leave the highway you will miss most of the beautiful places. There are numerous quiet, secluded bays and beaches tucked away which reward the curious traveller. There are also numerous shady picnic areas nestled deep in the pristine rainforest of the hinterland. The sleepy country villages dotted throughout the hinterland provide the ideal location to stock up on supplies before immersing yourself in the glorious rainforest draped mountains. Travelling in one of our campervan rentals you will have the freedom to stay overnight in any of the caravan parks along the way.
