Yes the Hawaiian Sands has seen better days, but it is spotlessly clean and has everything you would need for a few days.Mel and Kai were friendly and eager to make our short stay as pleasant as possible. The pub across the way has value meals and the cafe down the road - Cafe Aqua- a most delicious breakfast. The... More

Mel & Kai are great people made us very welcome and a great place to stay for a few days, we were asked to a BBQ in the pool area when one of the guest caught a big fish. Would stay there again no problems. The pub across the road had very good meals at a good price and did... More

We stayed here on Jan 24 and unfortunately had an experience which left us very uncomfortable. Around 11pm there was lots of shouting in the car park. Then someone knocks on our door (which faces the car park). We call out, ask who it is, but they just keep knocking. And knocking. It went on for a while. With no... More

This is an unfortunate incident and not something that occurs on a regular basis. I can understand how how you would feel unsafe in this situation. On the night in question we had a group of 10 people taking up 6 rooms staying with us. One of the guests came back to the motel after being out that night, couldn’t... More

We were 2 couples touring and could only get a family room. The room was clean and reception pleasant. The location was good for the beach but a fair way from the main drag of Coffs Harbour. They had free WiFi and good reception, when will all Hotels, Motels and resorts provide this! A perfectly adequate place to stay.

Small room, old-fashioned blockhouse style with basic room features, but clean and functional. Apartment blocks are adjacent which were noisy in my room during my stay. Free WiFi but it never worked during my two days here. There is no breakfast available on-site. A nearby pub, across the street, provides standard but decent evening meals. The motel is close to...

We have a prime location for the beach and families. I apologise for the problems with the Wi Fi. We did have some problems over December/Jan with the 2nd router which allows Wi... More

I've stayed at Hawaiian Sands on 3 occasions when travelling north with Coffs being a good stopover point after leaving Sydney. It's an older building but has been kept in pretty good condition. The rooms are a reasonable size and I've always found them to be clean and tidy. This is not a 4 or 5 star resort but if... More

Stayed for one night while heading up the coast. Pics looked great on internet but didn't look as good when we got there. Rooms were clean but walls looked like they have had water damage or something, so could do with a makeover and fix up. Was a bit strange to have the shower and toilet windows facing the car... More

We recently stayed at the Hawaiian Sands for 2 nights over the school holidays on the way up north. Being the long weekend and school holidays accommodation in Coffs was in short supply and prices were higher than 'normal', but not at all out of proportion with other budget motels in the area. The room was a good size, very... More
