Pelican Beach Resort Australis Coffs Harbour

My wife & I stayed here a couple of years before the girls were born on the tail end of a Conference she' been helping deliver. We thought then that it was very nice indeed.

Fast forward to Fri 18th March & this is where a colleague & I were delivering a LARK Online Workshop for schools. She stayed there on the Thursday night while I flew up on the Friday morning. All the signs are still there of the class of this place & she also thought it was very good.

I'm not a big fan of this resort style accommodation, but it suits a certain clientele & can be quite good for families. I'd recommend it on this basis, but in some respects I'd prefer to stay in town near the Jetty & Park Beach where I could walk to the Beach & Cafes & Restaurants.

Unique Quality: Located on the beachfront it offers 6 levels of spacious rooms and suites all with balconies/patios, some of which have very nice ocean views.
Within the acres of landscaped grounds it also boasts 3 full sized tennis courts (2 flood- lit), a 48 metre pool (heated during winter) , shaded children’s pool and playground, indoor gym, sauna and spa, mini golf course and games room.

Once again for the families (that's us!) there’s a Kids Only Club for 5 -12 year olds. If you're interested I'd check to see if this is offered all the time or only in school holidays (vacation).

Directions: 7Km north of Coffs Harbour proper heading up the Pacific Highway towards Grafton. You'll see the sign for it & you have to turn right across the oncoming southbound traffic.
