I used Coffs Harbour Veterinary Hospital when our Ferret went limp and was having trouble using his back legs. The vet nurse was great with him (even though she admitted to be a little afraid of ferrets) and checked him all over very well b4 giving him an injection to help him. We took him home that night and by the next morning he was back to his normal self. The staff were very caring and friendly and great to deal with.

Cold Rock has a huge selection of flavours and all of the different icecreams I have had from there have been very tasty. The service was a little slow and I expected much bigger serving sizes - the prices are very high and I don't consider it good value for money. This place is great if u want to take the kids for a special treat but the high prices are a bit of a turn off!

The food is fantastic and the service is great. Honey Chicken & Sweet & Sour Pork are my favourites and they always make it to my liking. They have the option to eat in or take away which is great. I have been visiting Nelson's restaurant for a number of years and have never had a bad experience. I can recommend highly :)

Viv's is my Number 1 Fish and Chip Shop on the Coffs Coast. The food is always cooked to perfection and they are conveniently located in the main street of Sawtell right near the beaches. The servings sizes are great for the money paid and the staff are friendly. Highly recommended!

I have purchased quite a few items from Petstock (2 large fish tanks, cages and feeding items for my ferrets & toys) and on each of the visits I made to the store I was assisted almost immediately. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The store has a reward system in place if you are a member and were happy to do a special price for me as they remembered me from previous purchases. Petstock has a great range of products and at fairly reasonable prices. Great place to go for all your pet needs!

If your are looking for a gift for a friend or family member or a special piece for your own home then be sure to check out Zab Designs. They stock a large variety of items & the staff are lovely and very helpful - they even offer gift wrapping of your purchase if needed.

My son has been doing swimming lessons through Swimcare Boambee since he was 2 and he loves it. He is now almost 4 and is confident around water, looks forward to swimming lessons each week and loves his awesome teacher. The teachers have lots of patience for the children and are all lovely to deal with. Swimcare is a fantastic swimming school that I highly recommend to anyone

Everytime I have visited this restaurant both the service and meals have been great. The food has been cooked to my liking and the staff have always been friendly and quick to serve. The bar is great too - u can choose from beer, wines, cocktails (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) as well as soft drinks and they serve coffees too.

Approximate cost: $30

Sawtell Hotel is a great place to visit for a catch up with friends. Located only meters from the beach, they serve awesome food in a nice, relaxed friendly atmosphere.
