Hotels in North Coast New South Wales, Australia

North Coast New South Wales stretches from just south of Brisbane down to Newcastle, with a subtropical climate where summer temperatures average 82°F (28°C) and winter highs sit around 66°F (19°C). Famous for world-class surf breaks and lush hinterland national parks, summer is prime for catching waves at Byron Bay's Main Beach, while winter offers clear days for hiking the 100-meter-high skywalk at Dorrigo National Park. The region splits into lively Byron with its coastal markets and quieter Coffs Harbour, where you can feed wild dolphins at the marina year-round.
