Sue and staff were lovely. Bbq area around pool was handy as we were large booking; suites were generous in size and ours had lovely balcony but rooms were a bit worn (paint peeling,etc). Mattresses were quite comfortable though.

Spacious and clean room. A bit dated, could do with a TV upgrade. The wifi was unacceptably rubbish, slow and dropped out constantly. In an area with poor mobile phone reception, wifi must be better. Overall a pleasant stay, not sure I'd stay again though.

Second time staying at Smugglers on the Beach. Peter, Sue & their staff are friendly. Location is quiet, peaceful & right near the beach. Heated pool is a bonus. Had a 5 night stay in Apartment 15 - 2 bedroom spa apartment on ground floor. Sleeps up to 6 people - Main King bed/ single trundle, 2nd Queen. Will happily return.

Our boys (3 & 5yrs) said it is the "best holiday house EVER!" and did not want to leave. We stayed three nights in a 2bedroom apartment. It was the perfect home away from home and had everything we needed. The apartment we stayed in was very spacious and clean, the location was fantastic and staff was friendly. Only downside was the parking spaces were a little tight. But We will definitely be back.

We stayed in one of the two bedroom apartment which was clean and spacious. The beach front location was excellent. The communication from the hotel was excellent and after-hours check-in process was very easy. I will look to stay here again in my next visit to Coffs Harbour.
