We always look forward to our stay at the Novotel in Coffs Harbour. We have stayed there on numerous occasions and like everything about the place. We particularly like the restaurant and Buffet breakfast.

We ended up here as a last minute encounter, yet were not disappointed with the room, grounds or location. We wandered around the beautiful resort settings down to the beach, which was very private and romantic. The grounds are superbly kept, though probably look a few years out of date - however we hardly focused on that. The car park... More

We stayed in a spa suite with lounge area and view of the shore. Room - very dirty and down at heel in appearance. Management responded that if no one told them it was dirty before it was booked they didn't know and couldn't do anything about it anyway. No hot water - it ran out after a few seconds.... More

The Novotel is located just a little out of town (about 4km), so you would need a car if you were leaving the complex. The Reception complex is separate to the Accommodation tower (about a 3min walk). Check-in (and check-out) was quick and friendly. The limited under-cover parking fills up fast and it was full around 8pm! We stayed in... More
