A striking presence on the beachfront of Kororo Basin, Smugglers On The Beach is not just a hotel; it's an embodiment of coastal elegance. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by an airy lobby, accentuated by contemporary artwork that mirrors the vibrant hues of the ocean outside. The design is a harmonious blend of modern aesthetics and tropical charm - think polished stone, warm wood tones, and sweeping views that create an immediate sense of place. As you step outside, the aroma of saltwater mingles with that of fresh BBQ, beckoning you into a resort experience that is both laid-back and luxurious. The solar-heated swimming pool invites relaxation, while the children's wading pool promises smiles for the little ones. Pampering extends to the covered BBQ area, where evenings are filled with the laughter of families and friends. The half-size tennis court adds an active element, ensuring that relaxation can also come with a side of recreation.

Explore the Local Area

Just five minutes north of Coffs Harbour's City Centre, Smugglers On The Beach is strategically positioned for adventures on both land and sea. The golden sands of Korora Beach lie merely a short stroll away, perfect for an early morning swim or a game of beach cricket with the family. Explore nearby landmarks like the iconic Big Banana, just 2.5 km away, or make your way to the stunning Macauleys Headland Walk, 2 km from your doorstep. Nature enthusiasts can embrace the beauty of Kororo Nature Reserve, nestled just 1 km away, while local cafes and restaurants offer an array of culinary delights. Look out for the markers guiding you along the coastal walking tracks, promising breathtaking views and the chance to spot passing whales during migration season.
