A must do in Coffs Harbour, we love this place. Still looks the same as when I brought my kids 15 yrs ago & very reasonable entrance fee which all goes to looking after these wonderful sea personalities. We chose to go on a very rainy day & had the park almost to ourselves but hence got very wet. The staff are so passionate & caring for the marine & do alot of rescue on the East Coast. All talks were very insightful, such a fantastic opportunity for us all to fall in love even more with our marine creatures.

Loved learning more about the turtle rehabilitation. The dolphin show was beautiful but miss the seal show that they use to have. The penguins were so cute! Great work Wildlife Sanctuary. We never tire from visiting!

Absolutely fantastic experience and an absolute fantastic reason why they operate. What they do is so crucial for marine wildlife. All money is worth going to experience this non for profit organisation.

Awesome to see and learn about all the animals, the two morning shows we went to were super informative. Not a large zoo, quite small but still cool

What a great find! It's a small-ish venue - you can see everything in a under two hours - but being small allows it to be much more intimate. You're closer to the animals, and the close encounter experiences are amazing. We saw another family doing the penguin encounter, and we did the dolphin encounters. One note - they charge extra for photos (which given the prices seems exorbitant), so make sure to take your own

We had a great day. It’s a small place with lots of great shows for a half day. Staff were lovely and everyone gets a turn. We fed, played and pat the dolphins and they are so close and really engaging. My kids teenagers loved this as much as I did 30 years ago. Highly recommended.

Coffs Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary is a beautiful animal sanctuary. The ticket is very reasonable for the experience, and knowing it’s a non-profit makes it even more special. The dolphin show was awesome—they were playful and cheeky, moving eagerly from their lagoon to the performance pool, clearly excited to show off their talents. The staff are passionate and caring, and every visit supports the sanctuary’s important work protecting these amazing animals.

Coffs Harbour Beach is one of my favourites, and it's always my go-to on a warm long weekend! The beach is pristine, the water is fresh, and the view is breathtaking! 🤩 Ample free parking and picnic areas are available, and there are public toilets across the road. Only 5.5 hours from Sydney, you can squeeze in a mini-road trip if you're keen. A must-visit! 👍 #BeachLife #CoffsHarbour #WeekendGetaway #RoadTrip #Australia

Stunning and beautiful! Worth the long distance travel.

The sea is beautiful. When you walk around, you will see something different. You may have never seen it before.

This is probably best to say, back water then a beach.. best place for kids to play safe zone..

Most beautiful beaches are put there in Coffs Harbour. The place is small but the view is amazing

Coffs Harbour beach is just lovely, located between muttonbird and little muttonbird island, soft sand and proper waves, so grab your surfboard or your swimmers and jump in or do some sun baking ( slip, slop also of course) or the total opposite and take a relaxing stroll along the beach. This beach is a dog walking beach so if you really don't like dogs running up the beach just cross the little road/ park and use the beach under/ next to the jetty as it's a "no dogs allowed beach". Kat

The part with the sea bird island was cool. The beach is meh. Just the same as every other beach and not as good. Not a fan of the boring town and the arrogant locals.

The old Butter Factory Bellingen The Old Butter Factory is a truly special place. The atmosphere is warm, rustic, and full of character — a definite 5 out of 5. The service was outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel welcome from start to finish. That’s another solid 5 stars. The food was delicious and well-presented, earning a strong 4 out of 5. While the menu could offer a bit more variety, everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor. A standout highlight was the Cargo Lane shop. It’s beautifully curated with unique furniture, homewares, and gifts. Well worth a visit on its own. Highly recommend the Old Butter Factory for a relaxed, memorable experience.

My partner and I love visiting The Old Butter Factory Cafe whenever we’re in town. The food is amazing and the coffee is outstanding. Truly some of the best coffee we’ve ever had. The atmosphere is always lovely, and the staff are so polite, kind, and efficient. We were mostly looked after by who we suspect is the owner/manager, and he was such a pleasure! Very friendly, talkative, and made us feel so welcome. Highly recommend!

We recently celebrated my mum’s 90th birthday in the function room at The Old Butter Factory, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The atmosphere was warm and inviting — just the right blend of charm and celebration. The food was absolutely amazing and plentiful; every guest commented on how delicious it was! A special thank you to Dan, who was incredibly helpful and personal throughout the planning process. Nothing was too much trouble, and every detail was taken care of beautifully. Everything we needed was right there — we truly couldn’t have asked for more. It was a wonderful day and a celebration to remember. Highly recommend The Old Butter Factory for any special occasion!

Stopped her for a coffee and some morning tea and was blown away. The staff are friendly and the service is fast. The coffee was well made, and we had scones, and they are easily some of the best in have ever eaten. It's a beautiful cafe in a beautiful town.

Bacon & Egg Wrap and French Toast. The coffee was great and the Vienna Hot Chocolate was fantastic. Quick and friendly service. Delicious food at a reasonable price. Thanks

This is our go-to place when staying in the area. Flat whites are dreamy, menu is outstanding, service with a smile. I always sneak in a pastry or two and maybe even a gelato!

Great food service and value Only problem is the honey containers, it’s a real waste of plastic and it’s not hard to get a bit of honey. Hopefully they change that. The shops around the factory are really cool.

What a fun place to spend some time. All the books and jewellery and art and rocks and essential oils and ... So much treasure to be found here! I bought a ceramic wee whale by artist Tony Hart, and I love it!

I have driven past many times before but never had the time to stop. On a recent roadtrip, was able to drop in and explore. Full of fabulous things. From books to giftware to jewellery. Emma was most delightful.

Wonderful welcoming, with our little dog Leo in his pram, beautiful gifts, in which I purchased..A must see, in your travels..thankyou kim Alf Leo from cessnock xx

Great shop , full of the most interesting books cd , soaps oil , love ,

Such a big variety of crystals, candles, cards books and gifts

Love this shop. New age and thought and spiritual books plus many many other things. Very cool shop.

Cool little shop lots of little gift ideas and friendly helpful staff

Good Beer, expensive prices. This place has a very nice vibe to it. The beers, in general, are pretty good. The music is very nice with a nice selection. The pizzas are pretty good, but it felt Sydney prices for the pizza around 30 dollars. If you are looking for a good cold beer, this is the place.

Staff were amazing, very accommodating and friendly, going out of their way to assist us and great with our kids. Pizza was good; limited choice but covered off the classics and delicious sauces. Nice choice of quality beers and wines. Venue had a great vibe but pretty small so felt a bit packed in, but not uncomfortably. Will go again when next in Bellingen.

Beautiful place. Delicious beers and amazing pizzas. Small pizza menu but quality stuff only. Alll beers are carefully crafted and quenches your thirst. Honey Hazy IPA is a must try.

Perfect pizzas in a relaxed and laid back space. Subdued lighting and super friendly staff. We came several times during our week in Bello. Loved the chilli prawn pizza ! The chef who makes the pizza dough is brilliant. And cooked to perfection in the big wood fired oven by attentive staff. Excellent all round. Beers team up very nicely. Also loved the Smoked Lips cocktail - based on chilli infused mezcal - yum. There are others too for non-chilli people ! Highly recommend.

This place was amazing. The best wood fired pizza I have ever had. Especially the Fungi pizza. Expect a 40 minute wait for 🍕 but at the same time sit back and relax with a selection of cocktails. My favourite was the Margarita. The ambiance was perfect with local live acts playing. Let your hair down at this perfect place suitable for adults and kids to enjoy. If you're visiting Bellingen this is a must-place to visit

Pizza, back ground Music & Bellingen Pale Ale is Perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon

My wife rang in advance to enquire if we could bring our dog to the brewery. Ladette on the phone said no worries your dog in welcome in our outside seating area. We drove over 2 hours to visit the establishment for our lovely relatives birthday dinner however, on arrival we where told to tie our dog up out the front in the garden and then we where welcome, then blamed the local council! Rude! Our dog is more important than the semolina ridden floor of this building and the pub next door was very accommodating. Will not come back, not even for DJ Daddy long legs!!

Great accomodation, good location close to shops, beaches and tourist attractions in Coffs Harbour. Clog barn was great nice Dutch themed place and amount of work to make look like it does is amazing. Definitely recommend to anyone to visit and stay very budget friendly too! My wife and myself enjoyed our stay here

We visited the pit stop attraction of house figurines & cafe. It is very admirable that the owners put so much care and thought into this shop. It is very calm and well maintained. P.S. the lizards are real ! Not statues 🦎😬

We are staying in Sawtell and spent the day doing some of the tourist things around Coffs Harbour. Called in for a look, lots of clogs, Christmas items, German clocks and the usual tourist bits and bobs. Able to grab meals and walk through the garden with awesome miniature buildings and train track. There's a caravan park attached as well.

Loved it. $45 for campervan, powered and choice of grass or slab. It's a very small friendly park in Coffs Harbour, basic, but clean. Wifi works, fast enough to stream. Parks tend to blur into each other after travelling a long time, however this one's so unique I'll remember it forever. The miniature village, free to visit, is well worth visiting even if you don't stay.

We didn't stay in the hotel but did visit the clog barn. It's a lovely place and a lot of work has gone into it. We really enjoyed it! Definitely worth a visit. It's a little tricky to get to without a car but 20 minutes walk from the city centre

Well worth the visit. The village models were great and well tended. Food and coffee at the cafe was very good. Coffee, was very hot, so let it cool.

Stopped on my way from QLD to Sydney after a recommendation from Crossfire a colleague I work with who has stopped here with her family a couple of times, I stopped for breakfast (pancake 1/2 serve) which was amazing then went for a walk around the little gardens and shop

Stopped here for a break on our way back to Sydney. There's so much to do here for all ages, you could spend the whole day here! It's one giant fun park! The souvenir shop is packed with all sorts of goodies ranging from hats, soft toys, cups, pens, stickers, key rings, fridge magnets, t-shirts, stationary items, tea towels etc. Cafe has a good variety of hot and cold food, drinks, milkshakes, and snacks. Plenty of parking.

An entire day well spent last wk. Bought the Ultimate Pass for the family online. Rocked up before ticket box/activities opened to get a good car park. Thankfully, NSW school holidays hadn't yet started so wasn't too busy. Took the entire day to be able to experience all activities included in the Ultimate Pass, including saving the Arcade Room till after 4pm when all other areas had closed. Only downers were: 1 the expensive meals, 2 the Toboggan wasn't open, and 3 the ice skates were too narrow. Even after going up a size, had to regularly sit down and take the weight off. Will need to return when the Toboggan opens.

We had an awesome day at The Big Banana Fun Park – fantastic facilities, plenty of fun, and most of the staff were absolutely wonderful! Unfortunately, our experience was dampened by an encounter with the café manager, Tanya. I have a coconut allergy, and I could clearly detect traces of coconut (likely from cross-contamination with previous flavours). Rather than showing any concern, understanding, or basic duty of care, Tanya was immediately hostile, dismissive, and completely unwilling to help. She refused to offer a replacement, refund, or even acknowledge the potential seriousness of the situation, and her attitude was both unprofessional and unacceptable, especially for someone in a managerial position. As former café owners, we know exactly what good customer service looks like and this was the complete opposite. In any hospitality setting, especially when it comes to allergies, empathy and responsibility are non-negotiable. Thankfully, duty manager James went above and beyond to resolve the situation. He handled everything with professionalism, ensured we were looked after, and even gave my little one a bag of bananas for the long trip home to Brisbane - such a thoughtful gesture! It’s thanks to the rest of the fantastic team members and James’ outstanding service that this review is 4 stars instead of 1. They truly turned a negative situation into a positive experience, and we’re incredibly grateful for their care and professionalism. 👏🍌

Timed season / play time can we , depending on numbers, well worth it or a little disappointing. Wait times for a slide can exceed 30min or so. Given 2 hours, 2 - 4 slides can be a maximum. But for smaller kids or kids who enjoy the splash area, 2 hours for the price is well worth it. There is a lot to do overall at the big banana if you have the time and the funds. But it is definitely worth visiting If your not willing to wait a while, or pay the price for meals, its easily enough to bring your own.

This is a perfect fun park for the family with kids, as parents can join with them and have fun. I saw the kids really enjoying all the rides . However, if you are solo, or young couple without kids you guys may feel boredom as there is nothing to make your adrenaline rushing. Adults, they surely enjoy the self guided tour through the banana plantations. Staff are really courteous, good accessibility from highway, ample parking facilities are really good.

If you are visiting Coffs harbour and travelling with kids... this is where you want to be! There is a plethora of fun activities and games especially for the kids here. Of course, if you are enthusiastic about banana trees/plantation etc then there's plenty here for adults too. We stopped by here for a short visit during our road trip from QLD to Melbourne. It was amazing to see the kids enjoying themselves especially in the gaming arcade area. Souvenir shop, cafe and clean wash rooms are also available here along with plenty of free parking.

My Wife and myself visited the Banana Plantation here was a self guided tour that took about 30 minutes, where you see all the banana plants and learn about the history here at the big banana. Enjoyed our tour here and definitely recommend the visit great to learn about the history of the big banana. Family friendly place to visit too.

Didn't even know this place existed but holy crap the views from up here are good. Site is really well maintained and the drive up is also quite pleasant. Treetops is also up here which is great for the kids, just be mindful it can be busy on the school holidays.

The view of the Pacific Ocean and Coffs harbour city from the forest pier is really exhilarating. This elevated platform gives you Birds Eye view of the valley. This place has the amenities such as ample car parking, toilet and a gazebo like structure where people can sit and enjoy their food. There is no any coffee shop or refreshment shop in this area so being your food and drinks. Moreover, if you got a binocular please take to get a close view of the foothills.

Beautiful lookout with a suspension "pier" hanging over the edge. Very nicely updated with the environment in mind. The cafe was closed but it looked like a great spot for a picnic with plenty of tables scattered about. Bring cash and keep an eye out for the little vege stalls on the road up selling avocados and bananas!

Ive been here before in summer and came again years later with my daughter.. make sure you read the signs to get to this lication as the road works have made it hard with signage to follow. Google maps even had trouble navigating to get proper firections due to the terrible road works. Once you are there the biews are spectacular. It is a little windy on the road coming up to it. Winding through the banana plantation and the state forest on the other side. There is a small cafe at the top for coffee tea hot chocolate and small snacks. Further back on the road there is tree hopping. Its a must see location as it is very pretty . The area is very clean and its free . No problems with parking.

Beautiful views and lovely pier/bridge. Loads of parking and there is a toilet nearby. Cafe was not open today.

Steep drive up the hill for a great view. On way down saw 2 bikeriders pedalling up. Not for us.

Breathtaking views from up to the top. You can take your car till the lookout point. We did the smallest 35 min trail, I believe the Gumgali track that goes from the the left of the lizard's picture near the treetop adventure. It was a short, quiet and nice walk to a beautiful lookout point.

We walked from the Visitors Centre to The Glade and back late in the afternoon. Not too many people and a great array of rainforest birds, including several displaying Superb Lyrebirds, Noisy Pitta, Logrunner, Wompoo Fruit-dove and Green Catbird, plus an Echidna. The Visitors Centre has a good display and an excellent gift shop, but the cafe is closed.

A beautiful park , sunrise boardwalk is one of the highlights of this park . There are no entry fee but A$2 donation to support the national park so please carry some gold coin for a good cause . There are two nice waterfalls and one waterfall is accessible to play in the waters . Great place to visit.

Beautiful day trip location. Walking track was sealed and a fairly easy walk. Enjoyed the tour on offer also. Picturesque views and tranquil picnic spot.

Dorrigo NP is well worth a visit to experience the ancient forests. We found there was time in a day to do both the sub-tropical Wonga walk to the beautiful Crystal Springs waterfall and a section of the Blackbutt temperate forest walk. As well as a picnic at the Glade and a loiter around the information centre. All up a wonderful day. The forests are amazing, especially the Titanic-sized fallen giants along the Blackbutt trail.

A great parkland, but not at its best at the moment. Unfortunately the Cafe and a loop of the rainforest walk were closed. It will be great again once these things are restored.

Oh all my gods had a hand in this spectacular place. Wow

Dorrigo National Park is a breathtaking natural wonder that offers visitors an unforgettable experience in the heart of a World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforest. Located just an hour from Coffs Harbour, this park feels like stepping into another world. The park's crown jewel is undoubtedly the Crystal Shower Falls, a stunning waterfall that you can actually walk behind. The Skywalk Lookout provides panoramic views stretching all the way to the coast, offering a unique perspective of the lush rainforest canopy. For nature enthusiasts, the Wonga Walk is a must-do. This 6.6 km loop takes you through subtropical rainforest, past 600-year-old trees, and the beautiful Tristania and Crystal Falls. The park is also a birdwatcher's paradise, with chances to spot colorful species like the wompoo fruit-dove and the regent bowerbird. The Dorrigo Rainforest Centre is an excellent starting point for your visit. It offers informative exhibits, a café, and access to various walking tracks. Don't miss the opportunity to take a ranger-guided tour to gain deeper insights into this ancient ecosystem. Whether you're looking for scenic picnic spots, challenging hikes, or simply a place to reconnect with nature, Dorrigo National Park delivers on all fronts. It's a testament to the raw beauty of Australia's natural heritage and a place that will leave you in awe of the wonders of the rainforest. Enjoy it!

The stories were about an idyllic sustainable lifestyle of living on the coastline ,in the habit of what the season had to offer. Very informative and engaging , I won’t say any more book yourself in .Ghey run these tours over holiday periods . A great way to get to know the local terrains and initiate your visitors to the remarkable pristine part of NSW.

Fantastic art exhibition, friendly staff. Interesting museum as well and great gifts to buy.

I attended a women's gathering. It was amazing. The women's gathering was called Mother Spirit.

Beautiful setting. Rooms tidy. Bob the cook/caretaker is a wonderful guy. Highly recommended.

just recently held a 3 day women's camp. and it was the best time away that we all had. most of all Bob Palmer you are amazing your hospitality and kindness towards us was fantastic, from the booking to the time we had to leave. and the food oh my the food was awesome not one of the ladies complained about the food. we loved all of it right down to a simple cup of tea. dont you loose those cooking skills. so on behalf of changing ways and Bunjum Corporation we would like to say a big thank you for all your help and hospitality, we look forward to comming back in August hopefully. once again thanks BOB

Beautiful place to spend some time learning about tbe area's history. Alison referred us to the DNAAG in Kempsey when the cheese board we wanted was already sold. (Glad we found out about it, as we found alot more items tobring overseas at the DNAAG) Glen at the cafe made us great soy latte and yummy chips sprinkled with South Australian salt bush flakes.

Wonderful experience beautiful gallery ,don't forget to try the story chair .The food is great but the coffee could improve over all we loved it well be back .

Two Tails Winery was a fantastic food and wine experience. The presentation of the menu items was especially first-rate (the rhubarb dessert is pictured), and the staff went above and beyond. It was a perfect Mothers Day!

After a leisurely drive from Port Macquarie my daughter and I called into this restaurant for a late lunch. We had been reading excellent reviews on line. What a surprise to find the restaurant in a beautiful vineyard setting. The tapas dishes we selected were exceptional. Beautifully presented and served by waiter Luke. If your in the Coffs area this venue is a must.

If you visit the Coffs Coast you must go to Two Tails for awesome food and great wine.

An all round wonderful experience was had yesterday with our friends at Two Tails… Service was outstanding with really down to earth staff who simply go out of their way to ensure customer satisfaction is adhered to!!! The service was fast, the ambiance and outlook was fabulous and the food and wine was above standard, first time to the venue for my Hubby and I and there will be a second!!! Thank you Two Tails staff for making our day truly special with our friends, you did good! Brett and Michelle White Boambee East

Visited this winery in the mid morning, at around 11 am. The staff were friendly, inviting and especially well versed in the various, delicious wines on offer. The 2 course meal my family enjoyed was absolutely worthy of 5 stars, amazing presentation that was truly a joy to eat with your eyes before your mouth. The waiter who served us was friendly, catered to all our needs and offered amazing advice on the wines to order with our meal. Overall, a fantastic experience, I would definitely recommend for a family event or an anniversary. 5/5

AMAZING!!! These guys were under the pump on the weekend. They made sure to let us know of the wait and the waitstaff were gorgeous. Extremely helpful and serving. One waiter (gentleman) even climbed down the stairs below to fetch our neice's toy ^_^. It was extremely pleasant and the food was ALSO AMAZING!!!! 10/10. The wait didnt seem long at all and I applaud all the staff there. Will always return!!

Before I write this, I will note to the owner that I will be back because I do believe the service and food can be better. Ok.. So the location is 5 stars. The setting and decor of the restaurant 5 stars.. in relation to the food, The food was good, but not great. The garlic mushrooms were fantastic, but the seafood items were overcooked and a bit dry, but that could just be a slight mistake rather than the norm. 4 stars for the food. The service was what let us down. We were left unattended for extended periods of time. The waitress did look under the pump so maybe they were short-staffed? We probably would have ordered more wine and desert if prompted? 3 stars for service. Overall score of 4 stars. Room for improvement!

Best spot for exploring the rock pools and it’s a great swimming beach as well on the camping side of the rocks. Often see surfers enjoying themselves with decent waves, people fishing, swimming, playing on the sand, great spot for dolphin spotting and whale watching when it’s in season.

These camping grounds are excellent. My 10 year old also prefers this, over a recent big 4 camp ground (even with all the rides and activities these big 4 parks have to offer). It's a relaxing break in nature with fires allowed and kangaroos for your camping buddies. You can surf, take your 4WD for a run on some good tracks (out better still your motor bike as in my case), or fish of that's your thing. Management is chilled, amenities are are well serviced. It's cheap too.

Beautiful place ,highly recommend it for camping or even for the day tripers.

Great place for a weekend of relaxing, swimming, surfing, kayaking and fishing

Beautiful place to walk, camp and enjoy the local wildlife and incredible scenery.

If you intend to camp be sure to book ahead as Rangers are vigilant which is great for we who do follow the rules!

Fantastic beach views with relaxing camping for families or just a weekend away with/without the kids. Party groups and reunions. Great place. Always has been our favourite place since our children were small. Grandkids love it too.

Just a gorgeous spot for a walk or a swim, depending on what time you visit, there were people swimming in June! The pools are down a short paved path which also has steps and it decends to the pool area, you can walk to the beach which is pretty and there are lots of rock formations. Could do with some picnic tables or seating near the pools that would be a great add-on for those spending a few hours or on a picnic. I think there were toilets on the carpark. The track has steps, so not really wheel chair accessable, their are a couple of sections of steps the rest is bitumen.

Beautiful spot! Was clear and clean at our time of visit. Plenty of parking, small toilet block at carpark, as well as some covered picnic tables. Short walk on a track to the pools. There are rocks to jump off at the blue pool and grassed areas to sit. Walk through to the rocks at the ocean side for the green pool. Lots of small rock pools to explore, full of sea life. There aew warning advisory signs for the presence of algae at times in the pools.

Beautiful place to swim! We went there with our 7 month old and were able to sit on the ledge with him whilst he splashed and then sat under the shade of the trees. Walk to the car park/toilets is short and there is the options of the 2 pools plus the ones created by the ocean. A wonder place to spend a couple hours.

Too cold to take the plunge but beautiful none the less! Watched some whales spouting off Angourie Head ❤️

Made a quick visit to these pools after leaving Yamba. Took a short paved trail down to the ocean & on the left I was mesmerised by this beautiful reflective water surrounded by greenery & a rock wall. No one was swimming, it was a cool winter's day, so I was fortunate to have it all to myself. Further on, you will reach the ocean & another pool in the rock. Quite stunning with the waves echoing & pounding all around. Well worth the short walk

Blue Pool? More like Green Pool. Very beautiful rock pool and beach. The view and way in which the rocks have formed are the best I've seen in this area. Much nicer than The Yamba Beach. The cliff jumping was enjoyable to watch and appeared safe enough. My wife and daughter loved it. The pool however is quite dirty as it isn't filtered and rellies on the rain and ocean to cleanse it.

Gorgeous little oasis, so close to the cool rocky coastline & Angorie.

Really cool concave awning around the building. When I visited there were a couple of different exhibitions with some interesting exhibits.

This information center is one of, if not, the best info centres If had the pleasure to visit and would suggest it be one to put on your must see centres. It's not only an info centre, its also an art gallery and has a great little café. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. So, do yourself a favour and check it out for yourself, next time your in town or passing through, you wont regret it.

Who doesn't love a regional gallery with a coffee shop. Great visit

Always a pleasure this Regional Gallery .The building it’s self is quintessential Grafton heritage Style from the outside . Inside with gallery rooms exhibits on white walls .The court yard is gorgeous. Interesting changing shows .

Small gallery but very interesting and intriguing, just leave a donation at the entrance. Parking isn't possible with a trailer. You can leave the car and trailer at the Coles parking and walk 5 mins to the gallery.

Oh my god the cookies and deserts here and just perfect and 100% recommended a cappuccino with oat milk PERFECTTT 10/10 recommend i will forever talk about this place

Best place ever I recommend going here the art is amazing and so inspiring as a art student and let’s not talk about the food because I’ll be talking forever please do go here its amazing

Absolutely gorgeous spot! From the bridge to the bird life in the water, the fountain to the beautiful array of different colourful trees, this is such a beautiful place for a picnic or just to stretch your legs and let the kids run around on the playground!

Nice park, small pond with ducks. Children's playground and picnic area as well. Definitely worth a visit.

A very iconic place with purple tree throughout the road. Nice and calm. They have festival called jacaranda every year around the end of October to the beginning November.

Well maintained. Very pretty. Public toilets could be updated and kept cleaner.

Visited See Park end of October 2019 when jacaranda trees are blooming. A great family picnic location. Nice walk around the park. On a beautiful sunny day, you might even get to see 4 legged friends aka goanna lizards sunbaking. You can find some great photo spots within the park and nearby roads. I love visiting Grafton between mid October to early November as the town turns people with beautiful blossoming jacaranda everywhere.

We always visit Grafton especially see park every Jacaranda season and its worth it everytime.

You can see a lot of Jacaranda in this parks in spring. Very beautiful

A great breakfast or lunch place in Maclean. Great coffee and the breakups we had were great. Service was professional and polite. This place roasts their own coffee and also operates a brewery. It gets quite busy at times so bookings are recommended.

Really love what they are doing here. Great service that seeks to please. Have been back 3 times across the years and the coffee is still excellent. Pastries in the window are not too cliche and the breakky menu is lovely. Recommend the Rueben sandwich. Yum! Thank you also for taking bookings … super hard to walk in to other breakfast venues and this alone keeps us coming back knowing that we will have a seat ! Great service from the older lady (possibly Tina ?) she was awesome.

Perfect stop for lunch on a long drive. Not far off the M1, super quick service, looked like plenty of tables. The coffee was good (strong) and the food was yum. Friendly and attentive staff too :)

A lively cafe with lots of delicious food options. Toasties were not on the menu but they happily made one for me, coffee was very good too. The service was prompt and friendly. There are tables outside and plenty inside in the aircon.

Loved loved this cafe! So worth the stopover on my way up to Brisbane. This cafe was highly recommended by friends who advised anything on menu will be good and they were 100%. Got the salt and pepper squid on salad and iced coffee. Wished I got a bag of beans to takeaway! The staff were so friendly and the food came in a good time. I stayed here for an hour and was refreshed.

A good place to stop by if you’re in the area! I’m not a coffee drinker but everyone I went with loved the coffee! As for the chai latte, I ordered it extra hot- “piping burn your mouth hot” were my words- and it came out warm… the second time also was a miss. It was also verrrrry sweet- almost like ginger bread… so if you’re not into an uber sweet chai- maybe think about another drink! The salad of the day was good but a bit on the oily side. This is just a personal preference but when I’m going for a salad, I’m trying to make a healthy choice which means a little less on the oily side would’ve been my preference. Overall, lovely staff and good vibes! I’d recommend booking too!!

Bustling, bussin’, brilliant coffee roastery in riverside Maclean. Amazing coffee and fantastic cafe meals and snacks. Perfect stop on the road north/south or destination in its own right. We always call in here!

Extremely delicious, very rich. We shared a large strawberry shake ( it was a generous large) and a strawberry and cream scone which was a very slightly stale but otherwise good. We couldn't finish the shake, it was super sweet and we were all sugared out - but it was great and would order it again for sure!

Delicious fresh strawberries! Great spot to have a break. Play area for children. Plenty of parking, nice food, great coffee. Inside and outside sitting areas. 🍓 yum!

Loved this little roadside store/cafe/gift shop. Had fresh strawberries in three size options plus strawberry pancakes, shakes etc. Had a fantastic variety of jams, vinegars, chutnies, sauces, soaps, gifts etc Also had a small amount of clothing outside. Outside toilet facilities simple but clean and presentable. Inside seating for eating. Parking was fine.

Always stop in here over the years for a freshly made strawberry milkshake, and this visit will keep us coming back. Very efficient service, lovely friendly new ? owners and still the most delicious real strawberry milkshake ever. The large size each filled us for lunch, but the food being delivered to other customers looked good.

Very friendly staff and the most delicious strawberry milkshake I have ever had. The ham, cheese and tomato toasty was so yummy. This is one of our favourite stops whilst heading along the New England Highway.

Great spot for a pit stop. Wonderful food and drinks and friendly staff. I bought some jam and loved it!

I ordered an iced chocolate and the milk wasn't cold at all, no ice either. Service was very slow even though there were no customers at the time.

This is a fantastic place and worth a visit. There are lots of tables around for picnics and plenty of room for dogs and travellers with caravans etc There is a beautiful walkway just above to walk around and view the town and surrounds. However the best part is the Crafters Cottage onsite with the best coffee in the area. The barista there is Thai and a fantastic artist with her designs on the top of each coffee. There is a nice fireplace inside the cafe and lots of outdoor sitting areas if you have a dog with you. The new playground equipment for kids is excellent and there are plenty of new toilets The cafe is open from Wednesday to Sunday. Of course the Standing Stones are a huge highlight. Whilst in town, don’t forget Sweaties Pies, which are renowned to be the best anywhere. The coffee downtown is generally very ordinary.

Fab place to visit and I was really touched that the Celtic peoples who settled here bringing their knowledge and skills have been honoured and memorialised is such a manner. It’s definitely worth a visit. I was particular fascinated that the sun dial told the time perfectly 👌

Amazing monument to the early settlers of the area. Created in 1991/92, the Australian Standing Stones in Glen Innes Highlands is the national monument to Celtic people, past and present. The Stones acknowledge the contribution to Australian culture made by people from the Celtic nations of Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Wales, the Isle of Man and Brittany.

Has changed a bit since we where through 3yrs ago, new sword , kids play area and pretty sure loos are newish too. Either way good suss out and good pet friendly stop / area walk around

Worth a stop just to read the story of what they are and why they are there. Don't forget to go up the hill behind it for a scenic outlook.

Lovely spot, clean bathrooms, interesting activities nice for a picnic or the Cafe. Well worth a stop in.

Every time I go to Glen Innes I hang out up here It's a great spot!!

Called in this morning to get some advice on things to do in Glen Innes during our stay. The man behind the counter did not look up from his computer, did not offer a greeting or acknowledge I'd come into the centre. I eventually said good morning so he definitely knew I was looking around. I gathered what info I could from the pamphlets and left. Still no offer of assistance from the man sitting behind the counter. Not a great introduction to this lovely town.

Very helpful staff with good knowledge of the area.

Just spoke with Fred Blair at the information centre and he was a wealth of information, planned our next three days on his information and recommendations. Fantastic service, thanks Fred.

Excellent information and friendly greeting on arrival. Lots of helpful local information.

Great place with lovely staff who are very informative.

Dropped in for information, we were helped by friendly staff, great amenities here, clean & modern

Extremely helpful staff, they have a beautiful range of Celtic jewellery, and gorgeous stuffed toys, aboriginal art pieces, such as jewellery and scarves and allots of tartan nik knacks. We were given so much information on what was to be seen and done in Glen Innes, most helpful and friendly information centre I have attended.

An absolutely awesome museum! From sparkling minerals and military displays to old history, photographs, and more – there’s something fascinating around every corner. It’s a bit like the TARDIS: it looks small from the outside but once you step in, it just keeps going with hidden rooms and surprises. A must-visit for anyone passing through Emmaville!

The most amazing collection I have seen for a long time. A $2 entry and it is run by volunteers with affordable pieces for sale. If you like rocks this is a must see.

First time there a couple of weeks back. I have never been into a museum like this one! There are so many gems and minerals! They have one of the best most beautiful collection I have ever seen. The staff there are kind and love to answer questions too! So much knowledge. Will not disappoint!

Fantastic work by the local community for the displays and setup of the museum absolute gem to vist

$2 coin donation. Massive collection of gems and stones plus others sheds dedicated to historical Australia. Very cool the way this friendly town has pooled their collective history together.

This museum was so much more than just a mining museum. Although it had an extensive collection of rocks and crystals it also houses a breathtaking recollection of the families of the area. A trip outside to the small village takes one around a saddlery, a dressmaker, a bakery and a machinery shed. Don’t be fooled by this museum’s humble outside it’s well worth the trip.

If you’re ever in the area you need to stop in to Walk through this amazing museum looks are so deceiving it looks small but it goes on forever. An amazing array of gemstones. This little town Emmaville has so much history the volunteers that run the museum have put an amazing lot of artifacts from the mining era together. If you will really want to read everything you will need at least 2 to 3 days to go through everything. An Entry fee of $2 you will be blown away with what you can see and learn about this amazing little town.

Amazing volunteers were so very helpful. The gentleman went the extra mile to deliver brochures to the caravan park.

Very grateful to Bruce for sharing his vast knowledge of not only Tenterfield but also other local towns. Thanks to him, we have seen and enjoyed many more places of interest than we would have otherwise. Bruce is a million times more helpful than Google could ever be.

Very informative. Friendly staff. When we asked what is there to to in Tenterfield? The lady said "lots of things to do here"! She pulled out a map..gave us a guide and off we went!! 1st stop museum..very informative. Coffee shop ..lovely little hub. Lots of people, friendly people. Recommended visit.

Very helpful staff who knew what they were talking about and gave us a lot of information and explained everything clearly.

A great place to visit and to a special person Bruce who shared with me a wealth of steam train photos on a usb he gave me many thanks and i highly recommend a visit to this place and town.

Lady was soooooo helpful re local services and advice about scenic drive I wanted to take.

Very knowledgeable and friendly volunteers, lots of maps and brochure on offer. Some cards and local handcrafted items on sale.

Wow! The volunteers were extremely helpful and a true asset to Tenterfield. They were super friendly and knowledgeable. What a lovely experience, thank you for being so welcoming! We will be back

Am sure the people at the centre do a great job however our sole purpose for overnighting in Tenterfield was to visit the Saddlery. We arrived on advertised hours and unfortunately it was closed. Feel perhaps if this happens, maybe someone from the Centre could open. After all, majority of people visiting from afar, do so because of the Saddlery history, thanks to Peter Allen.

Free entry & great memorabilia. Located just off the main street. Lovely man made our visit warm & inviting.

Great historical store. Elderly gentleman has some great stories to tell. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and history. Purchased a beautiful bag, an absolute treasure.

Nice place for history and learn how the past was. Never forget his or re-write it. We remember and move forward. This is little peace of Australia history and the volunteers are awesome and full of the knowledge

Very interesting history of the man and his trade. Lovely volunteer there to answer any questions. Be aware NOT OPEN Mondays and Tuesdays

Centrally located in town, amazing piece of history. Free to enter.

Visited this beautiful little town last week. The locals were so warm and welcoming. It was so nice to see the history that has been displayed at Tenterfield Saddler.

The song lured us there and the saddles and other history made it worth the stop.

Spent about 2.5hrs having a really good look around and reading about all of the history involved. Highly recommend seeing the great work that the volunteers do to restore and maintain the displays. Could easily spend more time there.

Fabulous and affordable little railway museum with some interesting displays and historical information regarding past railway activities in the region. Very interactive and engaging. Kindly run and cared for by a wonderful group of volunteers selflessly giving their time and skillset to this little museum.

Very helpful & informative staff who took the time to explain all that the Museum offered. Its a wonderful historical snapshot & all who have been involved should be proud of their work. The Dog Box restoration is a fantastic example of the challenges the volunteers have faced. A personal discovery was finding a manufacture plate from the Chullora Per Way Workshops - where my father worked for 44 years.

A wonderful way for spend an hour or 2. Such a great collection of historical artifacts and beautifully restored rail carriages. Staff were very friendly and informative. They are clearly passionate about rail history. The gardens on the platform were also incredible. Well worth a visit!

A great little gem for Tenterfield. Very pleasant and helpful staff, volunteers. Strange thing is they have to apply to two different Govt. departments if they need to move a carriage. The rails are heritage listed. ' ain't bureaucracy great."

Green little find of restored railway machinery. Great work by the volunteers who have a passion for their town. Staff super friendly and full of knowledge. A must to visit.

Amazing. Really well maintained. Heaps to see. Restored rolling stock you can walk through to historic photos.

Amazing granite boulders and views. Took the "easier" slower Bungoona walk up to the Summit - then the very steep but quick descent back down the granite wall. Challenging on the knees but doable.

A beautiful walk, the grade 5 bit is very steep. I recommend sturdy boots with good grip. Wattle was out and the little purple flowers too. Gorgeous! Track is well maintained.

Making our way along the various tracks in Girraween NP was amazing. I've never hiked in the Granite Belt before and the more we elevated it offered more discoveries and eventually an incredible view...what I loved the most was sitting amongst the 🐝 Spring was alive and the weather truly beautifully 🌎⛰️🧭🥾😎

Very pleasant place and adventurous. You need to go on a clear day where there is no chance of rain. We need to come back from the mid because of rain. Nice place to go with family and fried

Fantastic walk. Take the long way around - the Bungoona walk, either up or down for impressive granite boulders and cave like walk-throughs. The summit is spectacular. A great place to rest and take in the views before the descent.

Did the base walk. Easy to push wheelchair (gravelly path) up to the base then there's a few rocky steps up to actual rock base.

What an awe-inspiring little hike; I totally loved this! You can be bold and brave and head straight up the rock face or you can take the gentle route to the Summit via the Bungoona track. Either way the views are simply stunning. About 3km in total. Truly, it's nature at her best. Easily accessible via the New England Highway and ample parking with toilets and picnic facilities.

Recently walked to granite arch and the junction. Beautiful and easy walks with so many lovely native plants to enjoy. The creeks were running high which was nice. While headed first toward the pyramids, I knew I didn’t want to do that walk having done it a couple of times in the past I wasn’t keen to scramble up a granite rock. While other enjoyed the challenge a smaller group broke off to enjoy a more leisurely walk. Great signage at the start of the walk making it easy to plan your walk.

Gorgeous natural park. We stayed at Girraween National Park for a couple of nights to explore the area. What a quiet, beautiful, peaceful place to camp! Clean camping areas with amenities blocks. We did the walk around the park. And explored surrounding areas. Stunning sunsets at night to sit back and enjoy.

Ticketed off the bucket list Friendly park ranger, well looked after and great tracks. Loads of signs for ease when walking. The main attraction for me was the pyramid to balancing rock and it was awesome Make sure you have great shoes with grip and aren’t scared of heights.

The Pyramids is an insane hike. Not for the faint hearted. The stairs are never ending and then its on to the steep rock face climb. Its very challenging but so rewarding! (If you're a fitness fanatic you'll be fine) its do-able for moderate fitness level but its tough. Plenty of areas to stop to catch your breath though. View at the top is absolutely amazing. Don't attempt this if your scared of heights.

Beautiful national park with great camping areas for caravans ,tents etc . Lots of birdlike and kangaroos and wallaby. Amazing scenery, walks , waterways and swimming. Lovely in spring with the wildflowers.

There is so much to see here. Great bush walks, both for easy or hard. Rock formations are incredible to see. Beautiful scenery and water holes. Cold in winter. Short drive from Stanthorpe. Heaps of parking and good directions to walking tracks.

Me and my throuple loved Girraween. There are plenty of moderate walks with amazing views. Some of the boulder formations are truly mind boggling. I just wish the visitor centre had a water fountain.

Beautiful drive to get here. A bit of a shop and can buy a coffee & snacks plus lavender products of course. The lady and her granddaughter were great to chat to. There is an area to park your camper/caravan which would be nice and quiet.

Lovely place to stop. They have home produced products. Although we didn't indulge the scones and icecream looked delicious!

Very friendly host and staff!! Great shower and toilet facilities. I would recommend this place to people who wants to relax and enjoy the calmness of nature without the hassel of bring, setting up, and packing away own shower/toilet facilities. They also have nice fire pits you can use and free suply of firewoods! I would also like to share my experience here: The battery went dead for me car on the first night during my stay there. As Mick started the day and drove by my camp, he greeted me and asked how I was going for the first night. I told him that my battery had died and that I might have to ring the road site assistance to come and change my batter for me. Mick kindly helped me checked the status of my battery and jumped started my car. He recommended me to go to Stenthorpe to buy a new battery and offered to swap it for me; what a wonderful guy! I eventually drove to Warwick to find a Supercheap Auto to sort out my battery since I wanted to visit some places and needed to get some supplies anyway. Overall, the 5-day stay experience is exerllent. Highly recommended!!

In my honest opion I have more lavender in my pot puri in my dunny. This place is a complete waste of time and not worth the diversion off the highway. The most exciting thing about this place is avoiding the the pot holes on the driveway.

We camped here over the Easter break. The owners are very friendly and helpful and the grounds were well maintained. There is a toilet and shower block within a minute or so walk of the farthest camping site. Only missing a communal camp kitchen, however at the price point it is and considering how much room we had available to us, it was well worth not having that amenity. There wasn't a small designated space and we felt far enough away from other campers.

We were greeted by a lovely elderly lady at the door. That was lovely. The gift shop was cute. I loved their Aprons and bought Lavender earl grey tea. It is so nice to sip at night and relax. Thankyou for this brew. Will visit again 😊

Had a lovely stop at Aloomba Lavender on the way to Tenterfield today. I was served by a beautiful lady who explained the lavender process and products. I left with high quality oils and my camper van smells divine! Next time I will camp overnight at the camping area and enjoy a meal!

Excellent range of wines, try the 2025 Maisie Verdelho or the 2023 Max Block One Shiraz. Tastings are welcome, and the servings are generous. Plenty of off street parking. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful.

We spent some time at this winery today doing a tasting. Marley was amazing and very patient! He entertained and informed and managed to wrangle seven of us. His knowledge of the wines was thorough and the wines themselves were delicious. Highly recommend stopping in here and stocking up. Thanks Marley!

Marley was our host for a superb wine tasting experience. Truly engaging, knowledgeable and passionate about showcasing Tobin’s exceptional wines. There were many standouts but the Block Shiraz and Chardonnay were tremendous. Tobin’s focus on perfecting their terroir shines in their wines and stand as a tribute to Alex (Mr Tobin) whose ethos for producing wine with restrained wine maker influence is both commendable and justifiable. A must visit for anyone who appreciates great wines and a commitment to the art of wine making.

Our second visit to Tobin Wines over the years did not disappoint! The service, explanations of the wines and their personalities and roots was exceptional yet again. The tasting out of this world. A big shout out to Marley who we recommend gets whatever promotion or awards are available, and if not, invent one. He's gold.

I’ve visited Tobin many times and it never disappoints. What I love the most is the variety & ability to taste side by side; especially with the same varietals from different blocks. Shout out to Brandy who was personable, professional & offered exceptional hospitality. In my opinion the best wines on the granite belt ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a great experience all round! Marley was a great host with immense knowledge on the wine as well as the Tobin family history. A really engaging and enjoyable experience, oh not to mention the top wines of our trip. We ended up with a Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc (Which both my partner and I have never really been fans of the style, but really enjoyed) as well as a couple other bottles to go. Keep doing what you’re doing team Tobin, and we will see you next time for sure! Thanks!

The best winery experience we’ve had in Stanthorpe + the best wines IMO. Generous tastings. Great knowledge. A beautiful setting. Couldn’t recommend highly enough 👌

Fantastic wine tasting with a very knowledgeable host who walked us through many of the rarer 'Strange Bird' varieties unique to the Region. Beautiful selection of whites and reds - my friends bought 4 bottles to go!

Ballandean Estate Wines is Queensland’s oldest family-owned winery! We visited for wine tasting and it was very good, their wines are top notch 🍷and the young guy did an excellent wine tasting presentation. The sparkling and Saperavi were some of my favourites. There is so many cool things to do and see in the Granite Belt region and this Winery should be on your list. We look forward to returning 😁

Thank you Lizzy for your great customer service. Your knowledge on the wines we tasted was fantastic. The platter you made up for us was just amazing. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic wine-tasting experience. We showed up without an appointment and they were quite busy. Nevertheless, their customer service was impeccable. We tried quite a few wines we hadn’t heard of before (strange birds) and bought quite a bit. Amazing how much good service makes a difference.

Lovely wine tasting experience. Very popular winery. Staff member was friendly and knowledgeable but busy trying to manage 3 wine tasting groups at the same time. Grazing platter options available. Toilets on site and parking available.

Came here for the wine toasting and charcuterie board (pre-ordering is recommended). Was not disappointed and could absolutely not fault a single thing on the board. As we came in midweek it was quiet so the ladies were more than happy to have a chat and let us know which different brands of salami, Prosecco, condiments and cheeses were on the board. We had our own choice of four wine tastings, and I actually bought all 4 bottles. Could not fault the wines. The decor was awesome with wine barrels and cosy seating. Fabulous experience and well worth the money because the quality was exceptional.

Fantastic winery with lots on offer. Great range of reds, whites, tawny port and liqueur muscat. First winery in the Stanthorpe area - family owned (5th generation). Well worth a visit for tasting.
