This is our homestay at the moment at Sapphire Beach close to Coff’s Harbour. The town is situated between Sydney and Brisbane at the East Coast of New South Wales. It is described as a pensioners place and we find it is a bit true. Maybe, that’s why we quite like it. Two times we decided to extent our stay, instead of one night we are staying three.
