COFFS HARBOUR & GRAFTON JACARANDA FESTIVAL

The New South Wales north coast is spectacular, we will explore its fabulous coastline along with its sparkling rivers, the towering forest of the hinterland and many of its lovely towns and villages. Grafton will be a picture with the Jacarandas in full bloom and we will also spend time cruising along the Clarence River from Yamba.

Our base for the first 5 nights of this tour is at the luxurious Opal Cove Resort, 7 kms north of Coffs Harbour.  Set on a beautiful absolute beachfront position on Korora Bay, Opal Cove boasts 36 hectares of subtropical gardens surrounded by banana plantations and rainforest clad hills.  This tour has been designed to allow plenty of time to relax and enjoy our spectacular surroundings and includes several shorter days so there will be less time on the road and more time in the resort.

Opal Cove has all the options for the active including golf, tennis, gymnasium, sauna and spa, along with lots of water sports or if you prefer simply unwind with a good book by the pool, lagoon or beachfront. 

We will break our journey home with a final night at the 4 star Mercure Centro Hotel in the heart of Port Macquarie and return to Sydney along the picturesque Lakes Way through Forster.
