Nestled amidst stately gum trees just a few minutes from the centre of Coffs is another world where you can enjoy all the benefits of a city nearby but in the privacy of natures paradise. Wake to the call of kookaburras or just roll over for a peaceful sleep extension in total privacy until you're ready to take on the day and participate fully. Get into action at the many beautiful beaches, deep sea fishing, 4WD wonderland, Sealy Lookout, Big Banana fun park, tropical rainforest walk-in Dorrigo, explore Historical Bellingen, fish in Urunga, Shop till you drop at Park Beach Plaza. Walk the Jetty ..... jumping off has become quite popular.... enjoy the recently refurbished picnic and sports areas of the Jetty Foreshores. Grab some of the best seafood available from the Fisherman's Co-op and walk the breakwater to Mutton Bird Island and follow the pathway across the island to wear off those fish and chips or extra prawns you enjoyed.
What a pleasure to return home to your own peaceful surroundings and gather in the cabana for an afternoon sunset drink while the kids splash away in the pool ready for another quiet night. Throw an easy meal together round the BBQ in the fading light I almost forgot donkey loves a carrot or two while you spot the parrots, wallabies and koalas as the sun fades through the trees. If you must, catch the news or your favourite ' ~ at first sight' in 65 inches of UHD colour or switch to Netflix for your own selection. Light up the evening with some music of your choice and gather around the table for those favourite games. Demonstrate your prowess at the billiard table or keep it simple on the table tennis table. Escape the crowd and grab that book you have always been meaning to read in the Rumpus room. You've had a big day taking in the sights of the mid-north coast and you just need a quiet night in front of the fire and some suitable beverages.
Whatever your desire it's all around you at Fern Ridge..... away from it all... yet it is all at your fingertips with WIFI but it's certainly your time to RELAX ! Just Do It !
