The 14-hour train journey from Brisbane to Sydney can feel endless. Enter Coffs Harbour, the perfect mid-point stopover with convenient lodgings, a charming atmosphere and everything within a short walking distance.<\/p>\n
Convenient Comfort:<\/strong><\/p>\n The Coffs Harbour train station boasts the Caribbean Motel<\/a>, just a quick 5-minute walk from the station. I can personally vouch for this clean and comfortable option, ideal for a refreshing break. Since you’ll be arriving just after 11.00, if your room isn’t ready, leave your bags with reception and explore!<\/p>\n Culinary Delights:<\/strong><\/p>\n Across the street, a plethora of restaurants and eateries awaits. There’s also a pub on the corner, The Pier Hotel<\/a> which also offers meals and accommodation. Craving seafood? Stroll 10 minutes to the Coffs Harbour Fishermen’s Co-operative<\/a> for delicious fish & chips and a cafe. Alternatively, the Coffs Harbour Yacht Club<\/a>, which you’ll pass while walking to the Fishermans Coop, offers an excellent lunch and dinner menu.<\/p>\n Scenic Sights:<\/strong><\/p>\n No Coffs Harbour visit is complete without a walk along the iconic jetty. Enjoy the picturesque scenery after indulging in fish & chips or a yacht club meal.<\/p>\n Next Stop, Sydney:<\/strong><\/p>\n Two train options connect you to Sydney the next morning. The first departs at 6:26 AM, arriving in Sydney at 3:44 PM. If you prefer a later start, the original Brisbane-Sydney XPT departs Coffs Harbour at 11:05 AM, reaching Sydney at 8:12 PM.<\/p>\n Embrace the Break:<\/strong><\/p>\n By breaking up your journey in Coffs Harbour, you escape train fatigue, explore a beautiful town, and recharge for the final leg of your trip. So, ditch the long train tunnel and embrace the Coffs Harbour oasis!<\/p>\n I hope this is helpful!<\/p>\n\n\n To book go to https:\/\/transportnsw.info\/regional <\/a>or call NSWTrainklink 13 22 32. It maybe best that you call to book and advise the agent at NSWTrainlink that you want a ticket from Brisbane to Sydney with a break of journey at Coffs Harbour. Happy traveling.
