Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Urunga

"Easily the most well-known of Australia’s unusual series of “big” inanimate landmarks (avocado, guitar, prawn, et al), the Big Banana has become synonymous with everything “Coffs Harbour” since its construction back in 1964. The combination of the sheer size and conspicuousness of the landmark, as well as its location right on the highway, has led to many an impulsive roadside travel-selfie for the unaware international traveller – and is something that has become a rite of passage for Aussies making the east-coast-capitals road trip as well. Originally built in order to draw roadside traffic to a local banana stall, the Big Banana complex has since expanded significantly to include a surrounding plantation, shop, cafe, and even a hybrid amusement/water park in the modern day."

"The Big Banana Fun Park is the BIGGEST and BEST Fun Park on the Northern NSW coast. It's a full day of family fun for the entire family set amongst the bananas, overlooking the amazing Coffs Harbour coastline. Now boasting 6 fantastic attractions including a 600m Toboggan Track, state of the art Laser Tag arena, a brand new Water Park including 4 heart stopping thrill slides and kids aqua play area, a magnificently sculpted 36 hole Mini Golf course, a Theatre and Plantation tour, an Ice Skating rink, Gift shop, Café, Candy Kitchen and Nursery."

"The Big Banana Fun Park is the biggest water park in Sydney and the Gold Coast and it is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Coffs Harbour. Be sure not to miss out on riding their world-class and thrilling slides that can stand as tall as four stories!. The water park offers something for everyone in the family to enjoy, from their wide range of attractions like the six-lane giant slide, state-of-the-art laser tag arena, and the kids aqua-play area."

"Do yourself a favour and take the 6km drive off the Pacific Highway (north of Coffs Harbour) through the banana plantations and into the lush green Orara East State Forest. Sealy Lookout is 310m above Coffs Harbour and the view is spectacular, giving you great perspective of the area, including the Solitary Islands Marine Park; on a clear day you can see 100km to the south. The Sky Pier itself is an impressive structure, it projects 21.6m from the original lookout."

"The Coffs Coast is the only region in New South Wales where the mountains of the Great Dividing Range meet the Pacific Ocean. This makes for some unforgettable scenery, as you’ll discover at the Sealy Lookout, a short drive up from Coffs Harbour through banana plantations. Here in the Orara East State Forest the Sky Pier is set atop an escarpment, 310 metres above the coast and projecting more than 20 metres over the edge of the lookout."

"No visit to Coffs Harbour is complete if you haven’t been to Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve. Also known as Giidany Miirlarl, this precious seabird rookery at Coffs Harbour’s heart is enveloped by spectacular views from coast to islands. Muttonbird Island is a great spot for watching birds up close; it’s one of the only easily-accessible places in NSW where the migratory Wedge-tailed Shearwater nests."

"While in Coffs Harbour, it is paramount that you pay a visit to Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve. The island is a birdwatchers paradise and a place of cultural significance to the aboriginal people who refer to it as Giidany Miirlarl. From the island, one has magnificent views of the coastline and surrounding islands making it a perfect photographing location."

"If you are looking for some fantastic views, then head to Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve. Once an island but now connected to the mainland, this island is important to the Gumbaynggirr people. Visit the outdoor learning space to explore Aboriginal history and hear Dreamtime stories."

"Standing perfectly still while a cloud of delicate, picture-perfect butterflies fill the air around you and land gently on your skin is a remarkable experience, and the Coffs Harbour Butterfly House is a remarkable place. Over 400 live Australian butterflies live in this indoor tropical habitat, which offers an incredible opportunity to get closer than ever before to a shy and retiring part of the natural world. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 4pm."

"The Coffs Harbour Butterfly House is an interesting stop particularly if you are looking for Coffs Harbour things to do with kids. There is a butterfly house in a subtropical rainforest setting, some live bugs and an outdoor maze. The interior of the maze has a puzzle to solve which I enjoyed working out."

"Butterfly enthusiasts can walk through the indoor setting among hundreds of butterflies and if you are lucky enough, have them land on you. But Coffs Harbour Butterfly House has much more than butterflies on offer. You can also visit a fairy garden, get lost in a maze or watch a dinosaur show!"

"The third largest undersea protected area in New South Wales, the Solitary Islands Marine Park is an extraordinary marine wonder.
