Hey, NRL-lover, catch this deal! Sharks vs. Knights at Coffs Coast this May offers sport, sand & a seaside getaway, all in one weekend. Here’s the write-up on it all, plus a great little offer at the end for a self-contained apartment during the action. Let’s kick-off!

The Main Event

Right off the bat, here’s your handy link for tickets. Make sure you get those tickets asap, as the stadium’s fit for 10,000—and it usually sells out!

This game is a hat trick, and you’re in for a treat! Being the third time the Sharks have embraced Coffs Harbour to host their match, our community has grown to offer better experiences. And this third time will be a charm!

As for kick-off, it’s 3 pm Shark—uh, we mean: sharp! Perfect for you to enjoy a true seaside brekky/bruncheon experience, myriad of sun-blessed walks and nap in your open sea-breeze self-contained apartment after a brief dip in the cool waves at peak sunlight (if you dare!). Oh, and your decadent dinner? It’s right around the corner, a walk from your bed in one of our rooms.

Venue, Please!

In a high-grade venue well acquainted with more than just NRL, yet purpose-built for it. Enjoy the action with easy access to accommodation, the airport, train station, eat street, and the famed marina & Jetty Precinct (where your apartment could be).

The stone’s throw location is one of many reasons the prestigious Sharks call Coffs Harbour “home-away-from-home”.
