Upgrades are available: $99 for the three nights to a One Bedroom Suite; or $299 for the three nights in a Two Bedroom Villa.

Coffs Harbour is one of the best locations to watch the whales' pilgrimages because of its close proximity to the coast. Quite often, whales can be seen within minutes of leaving the marina. In fact, this season the Pacific Explorer enjoyed a unique experience when whales followed the boat to the mouth of the harbour.

Whale watching is a seasonal activity best between May and early November.

Nautilus Beach Resort has just 75 low rise island style villas scattered throughout the nine acres of tropical landscaped beach frontage. There are plenty of resort activities to enjoy. Choose from three swimming pools, indoor and outdoor spas, games room, beachfront exercise cabana, two full size day/night tennis courts and a half tennis court, table tennis, beach volleyball court, and children's playground. And if you have time, there's all the fun family activities in the region!

There are regular flights to Coffs Harbour with Kendall Airlines and QANTASLINK. XPT and coach services are available from Sydney and Brisbane.
