Coffs Coasting
Holidays with Kids|Volume 56

Beaches, butterflies and (mutton)birds, oh my! CHRISTINE KNIGHT and family explore Coffs Harbour.

Coffs Coasting

We are a family of beach-lovers, who love to stay close to the shore and spend lazy days in the sand. On our recent visit to Coffs Harbour, on the NSW North Coast, we found the perfect place to set up camp at BIG4 Park Beach Holiday Park.

Located right on Park Beach, Coffs Harbour’s main surfing spot, the holiday park’s gorgeous location means the soft, sandy beach is only across the road from your cabin or camping site.

During this, our first visit to a holiday park, we stayed in a cosy Surf Villa with a water view. The villas include a verandah and dining area, separate living room, two bedrooms, full kitchen and a designated parking spot outside. We loved how modern and bright the villa was, with a well-lit and contemporary bathroom and two excellent-sized bedrooms that could easily fit a family of five. Our daughter was keen to claim the bunk bed as hers, and we were happy to have our own bedroom and a bit of space.

Something for every family

Park Beach Holiday Park provides a variety of accommodation options, from villas like the one we stayed into more than 250 sites to suit any type of set-up, from camping to caravans. A large camp kitchen and free barbecues make cooking for the family super easy (and cheap).

We’re trying to stick to a tight travel budget these days, so having cooking facilities on hand is a major cost-saver. Before checking into the park we ducked into the big Coles in the centre of Coffs Harbour and bought groceries to last us for our entire stay. The park itself also has a convenience store located at reception with plenty of basic supplies, too.
