Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Coffs Harbour
Choosing the right airport depends heavily on whether you prioritize convenience, cost, or route availability. Coffs Harbour Airport (CFS) is the only airport located within the city of Coffs Harbour, making it the most practical choice for most visitors due to its proximity and direct, affordable transport links to the downtown area. The other four airports on this list are not in Coffs Harbour at all; they serve neighboring cities and should only be considered if you are routing through those areas or find significantly cheaper airfares. Port Macquarie Airport (PQQ) in Port Macquarie and Armidale Airport (ARM) in Armidale serve the Mid North Coast and Northern Tablelands respectively, while Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (BNK) and Inverell Airport (IVR) are even further afield. Travelers arriving at these alternative airports will face long road transfers, often requiring rental cars or private pre-booked shuttles, which can quickly negate the savings of a cheaper flight. For a stress-free trip, we recommend booking flights directly into Coffs Harbour Airport (CFS) whenever possible.

Service poor behind the bar and a bit slow at times
Over priced considering no table service for drinks or cocktails as had to wait at bar for drinks

Food in restaurant was average and a bit overpriced.
Breakfast was delicious and had a great range on offer ,staff were pleasant and helpful .
Reception staff were exceptional on the Saturday and Sunday checking out.
A very nice resort but the standard has gone down since last being there almost 12 months ago .FromUS$113

The hotel needs to be completely refreshed, the room and bathroom aren’t well maintained, it is surprising that Accor Group allow such kind of condition. The water is sinking in bathroom, the fridge is dirty and hopefully the carpet is dark.FromUS$49

Beautiful resort with calming views from the room. Room and toilet is clean though the furnishings are old and dated. Very friendly and helpful service staff. Amazing amenities - 3 pools, , gym, tennis and basketball court, playground, putting green, golf course, spa and hair salon. Plenty of parking spaces. We didn’t get to use the amenities as it was an overnight stay for us. Please upgrade the room's fixtures and fittings and we will return!FromUS$119

Had lunch at Big Banana before as I was starving and had been driving all day. Got to reception on time and was given a map of where my room was. The layout of the place was pretty confusing at first but that was mostly my fault. I was exhausted from the drive as I just came from Sydney so I hunkered down soon as I arrived. Woke up hours latee to have dinner. Good proximity to the shops and eateries.
The room itself was pretty clean, though smaller than i saw on photos. Was close to the beach so I went for a walk. Overall recommended for solo travellers, short stays and for those with kiddies as theres the said beacb, and a pool. Also a spa for the tired parents.FromUS$139

The apartment was clean and the rooms pretty spacious.
It contains everything you need, including a big fridge and a dishwasher.
The check in was quick and easy, we arrived one hour earlier and the apartment was already ready for an early check in. Location is great, walking distance from the beach and places to eat. I definitely recommend itFromUS$103

The hotel is great. Ctrip's service is very bad. The order status shows that the booking was successful and the guarantee was successful, and the payment was made to the store. However, on the same day, I was told that I could not cancel the deduction in advance. Funny.FromUS$156

Emerald Beach|3.83km from city center
Lovely experience, the cabin was small yet homey. The only downside was that the bunk beds were quite cramped, as my children are a mere 6’6 in height. The bathroom had nice smelling amenities such as shampoo, body wash, conditioner. The cabin in its entirety was well kept and in good condition. The location was very close to the beach, and had many amenities that my kids would’ve found fun if they had been youthful 8 year olds.FromUS$91

Great overnight stay – clean, convenient, and helpful staff
I was passing through Coffs Harbour and needed a place to stay for the night. Ended up booking a room at the Pier Hotel last minute. While the price was a bit on the higher side (likely due to the late booking), I was really pleased with the experience.
The room was spotless, very clean, and well-presented. Even though it had a shared bathroom, everything was maintained to a high standard. What stood out the most was the staff – they were very accommodating and made it easy for me to check in late without any hassle.
Overall, a comfortable and convenient spot for a short stay.FromUS$105

The room is not too big but comfortable. Hygiene is very clean. The location is very good, 800 meters away from the pedestrian street, right next to the highway, noisy at night sleeping. We navigated behind him and saw that the plaque had been looking for a long time before we found his door.FromUS$75

I see that the evaluation is less, I wrote a detailed point. First of all, because it is a motel, the expectation itself is not high, and the first time I hope to be clean. As a result, not only the house was very quiet after check-in, but there were no bugs and the speed of the network was very fast. It was very good in the motel.
Speaking of the disadvantages, one is that the air conditioner is very noisy, the second is that there will be car sounds on the roadside, but living in the motel, car noise can be understood and acceptedFromUS$111
