We had a wonderful stay. The view was beauitful, the villa clean and the host Leoine was welcoming and very attentive. We look forward returning and staying again.
Easy communication with the host. Beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean and with stunning views - just as described. We were blown away with the extras that were provided and enjoyed a great stay.
Fabulous.A great view from a spacious and well equipped apartment completes the experience. We really enjoyed time on the balcony enjoying the view, having a bbq and even watching the occasional whale.Inside, the apartment is spacious and has everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked.A great place to stay.
Stayed here for a week with my 2 daughters, husband and mother in law. Property is absolutely beautiful and so clean! Well stocked with essentials which was very appreciated, great location, nothing to complain about at all :)
Amazing location, very relaxing and enjoyable. Host is very responsive and accommodating, more than happy to assist where needed. The kids had an absolute blast. After many a trip to Coffs, we have found THE place to stay and will be returning when we can.
An amazing place to unwind. This property has everything needed to relax and enjoy the Coffs coast. Amazing views, beautifully appointed and a great location .
We will definitely come back to this piece of Paradise.
We absolutely loved our stay here in Coffs Harbour! The place had everything we could have possibly wanted or needed — from a well-equipped kitchen to all the little comforts that made it feel like home. The beds were super comfortable, and we all slept so well during our stay. The location was also fantastic — close to everything but still peaceful and quiet. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed getaway!

Thank you for the lovely review Jessica.
We appreciated how tidily you left the condo.
I have lived in the Coffs Harbour area for over 50 years and travelled extensively in our great country. Our family enjoys being outdoors and experiencing the wonderfully diverse natural environment, both on land and on sea, exploring the many waterways in our area.
Our climate here is one of the best in the world, just a few of the year round outdoor leisure activities Coffs offers visitors are: dedicated mountain bike trails, kayaking, cycling, hiking, surfing, SUPing, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, sailing, golf, tennis, bowling, horse riding, beach fishing, waterfront picnic areas, outdoor markets, outdoor dining, coastal and rainforest walking trails.
I love to help guests with ideas of things to do while visiting this wonderful, unspoilt and uncrowded part of the north coast, where the Great Dividing Range meet the sea.
Why they chose this property
Sapphire Retreat is located in the northern beaches area of the coastal resort city of Coffs Harbour. The coastline here is one continuous stretch of beautiful sandy beaches and hidden coves with residential communities, lovely beachside villages and family friendly resorts. The property is located on the upper level of a two level secure complex of four residential condominiums, affording a private, peaceful and comfortable home away from home for the discerning traveller.
What makes this property unique
Perfect for three couples travelling together and families who appreciate professionally managed, quality holiday accommodation. Peace of mind staying in a secure, private home with the added benefit of being able to utilise the pools, tennis courts and Thai cafe within the grounds of the family friendly, residential complex of Nautilus Beachfront, it's just a short stroll downhill within the complex's own private grounds, to those beachside facilities.
