“Smugglers On The Beach impressed me with its commitment to family-friendly beachfront living, particularly the thoughtful layouts of its wheelchair-accessible apartments. The property has direct access to Korora Beach, and I especially appreciate the solar-heated pool and the tennis court. Its location, only five minutes from Coffs Harbour, is a real advantage for those wanting both tranquility and convenience.”
