The Bonville Golf Resort, which played host to the Australian Ladies Classic  golf event for the third time this last week, is one of many tourist attractions on the popular Coffs Coast and Diggers Beach Cottage is proud to host many guests associated with not only the Classic but a range of golf events on the Coffs Coast.

With players from as far afield as India, the United States and Germany, the Australian Ladies Classic has the potential to expose the area to markets across the globe, and it is an opportunity the many local businesses are keen to make the most of.

Having the tournament in town and the chance to showcase the Coffs Coast to an international audience is a fantastic opportunity for all local businesses.

“We’re just a small business, and there’s no way we could afford the sort of exposure we’ve had this week,” one tourist operator said of an activation which saw several players take part in one of the company’s rainforest tours earlier this week.

“The tournament itself is about the golf obviously, but having all these visitors in the area and being able to show off what we do shows it’s not just about the golf. “

There’s so much to see and do on the Coffs Coast, and this tournament is a great avenue to promote all those other activities as well.

The benefits of an event like this go well beyond the immediate results of the tournament.

2018 featured players visiting Sealy Lookout, indulging in local seafood thanks to the fisherman’s Co-op and the Cheesemaking workshop, swimming with dolphins at Dolphin Marine Conservation Park and Stand-up paddleboarding with Wajaana Yaam Adventure Tours.

2019 featured players swinging through the forest at Treetops Adventure Park and kangaroo watching at Look at Me Now Headland.

The LET, ALPG and LPGA’s media teams capture all the action and share those pictures around the world while many of the players themselves share snippets on social media to their thousands of followers around the globe. Additionally the event was broadcast live on SBS.

That sort of exposure is positioning The Coffs Coast as a must-visit destination for domestic and international travellers.

One of the key reasons people love to travel to Coffs is the variety of Golf Courses all located within 30 mins of the CBD, such as Sawtell, Nambucca, Sandy Beach, Pacific Bay, the 27 hole Coffs Harbour Club and the most beautiful resort course in Australia – Bonville.

Book your next golfing trip to the Coffs Coast and stay at Diggers Beach Cottage.

  • We just wanted to let you know that we had a great weekend.

    The cottage was excellent you thought of everything (even a champagne stopper) and we really appreciated the little extra little things that made our stay special.

    Thank you so much.

  • Dear Lisa & Jason,

    Thank you, we have really enjoyed our stay. We would love to come back to Coffs Harbour and when we do your cottage will be the first place on our list.

    We loved Diggers Beach, water was amazing!!

    Tina & Bobby – Barney Miller Surf Classic
  • An extremely stylish renovation of a character cottage, spacious and very well equipped. Diggers Beach is lovely and only a very short walk away. Would highly recommend for the discerning traveller.

  • Thank you very much!

    The cottage is wonderfully set up – as an architect and a designer + hospitality host, we are impressed!

    Peter & Gillian – darlingstreetapartments.com.au
  • Hands down one of the best places we have ever stayed in. Lisa and Jason were beyond brilliant hosts, and the house is pristine with every little detail and touch considered. Location is phenomenal, literally 100m from one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia. Coffs is a fantastic holiday destination. We will definitely return to this listing, in fact we can’t wait!

    Chris – Narrabeen, Sydney
  • Well appointed cottage with tasteful decor and quality inclusions. Travelling on business with a young family, we couldn’t have asked for much more. The hosts have catered for young children with age appropriate games, books and DVD’s, and even cutlery! Plus the BBQ was cleaner than new!!

  • Wow! Just wow.

    Boy do I wish we were staying longer. We will absolutely be back as we loved your gorgeous cottage. So beautifully and thoughtfully kitted out. And super comfortable beds. Great shower. Excellent kitchen and dining set up. Everything we could possibly need. We wish we had more time to sit out under the wisteria.

    Next time!

  • Never had a better place to stay and never before have we been more welcome. THANK YOU…..;-)) EVERYTHING ….. a 110% percent thought-out concept, from the handwritten greeting card to the toy selection for our little ones. It lacks of NOTHING for big and small ….. a DREAM ….. THANKS, Thank You …. ;-))) Disappointed that we did not find the cottage earlier and we could not extend!

  • My new husband and I stayed at Diggers Beach Cottage on the first leg of our honeymoon. It was the perfect balance of luxury accommodation and the comforts of home. The renovations were obviously well thought out, with the design and amenities suited all of our needs. The house was beautiful, clean and well kept. The lounge and the beds were extremely comfortable. We have even taken some notes as to what we would love in our dream home. The property was well situated – a few streets off the highway, so away from the busy roads – but close enough to the beach, shops, and restaurants.
    Thanks also for the little touches. We have just driven 4 1/2 hours from the Hunter Valley where we were married, and it has made the start of our honeymoon feel so special.
    Kind regards

  • As a family we loved it! Location was perfect for the wedding we attended down the road. Close to the beach, shopping centre, Big Banana etc. The cottage was spacious, clean, had everything we needed and more! Beautifully decorated and modern with a lovely homey feel…better than living at home. The outdoor area and garden is beautiful. We absolutely loved our stay but wished it was longer.

    Selina
  • Thank you Jason & Lisa for letting us enjoy your wonderful home. Great walks, evenings at the beach and lovely warm sunshine.

    We will be sure to recommend you to friends.

  • We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Cottage was so well appointed and the decor and furnishings were beautiful! The attention to detail was 5 star. The quality of the towels, sheets, coffee machine, organic shampoo, conditioner and soaps, cleanliness and gardens full of beautiful flowers and places to sit were so lovely and serene.

    We will definitely be coming back! Thanks again.

  • We have loved every second of our stay here in your beautiful cottage. We could not find one thing that we didn’t love. We will definitely be back again soon. An absolute 10/10 for our stay.

  • Coffs is a stunning part of Australia and Diggers Beach Cottage is fabulous! The location was perfect – we enjoyed exploring the coastal walks, the beautiful beaches and the stunning coastline. Everything we needed and more was beautifully provided for in the cottage – it was truly a home away from home experience.

    The thought and care you take to present the cottage at an exemplary level was appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed.

    Our warmest thanks xx

  • We want to say what an absolute pleasure it was to stay at your cottage.  We had a fabulous few days away. We were amazed at your attention to detail, you have thought of everything. It was so easy to relax being able to use indoors or the lovely outdoor area. We all just loved it and look forward to returning at a not too distant date. Keep doing what you are doing as it’s a great success.

  • What a home! We loved our stay at Coffs! Everything about the home was perfect and we loved everything about it….stylish, clean, homely, great comfy beds, lovely small touches with everything we needed from bathroom amenities and soaps to extras in the kitchen. Couldn’t have asked for anything more and we definitely felt refreshed and rejuvenated for the next part of our journey!

    Linda
  • We can’t fault this place. It’s like a home away from home! We especially enjoyed the full kitchen that was equipped with everything we needed. Another highlight was the luxurious bathrooms with big rain showers! We wish we could have stayed longer!

    Nathan – NSW
  • Big, cosy house, perfectly clean and friendly for those who want to cook something at home or do some laundry. There was more than enough pillows and blankets to keep us warm. Thank you for the beautiful stay. It was a pleasant surprise to find some games and toys as my daughter finally had something to play with after our 2 week trip!

    Candice – Singapore
  • Jason & Lisa,

    Thank you very much. Looking forward to our return visit and staying longer next time.

    Bulent & family – Sydney
  • Thank you for a wonderful stay here at Diggers Beach Cottage. What an amazing place! As a child I used to come here every summer and stay at Park Beach but swim at Diggers. This trip brought back so many happy memories and I would love to return again with little Theodore now that we know we have such a fantastic place to stay!

  • We enjoyed our stay @ Digger’s Beach Cottage and we will definitely be back! From the time we walked in we felt right at home. The whole cottage is modern from the kitchen to the bathrooms. The linen that was provided was clean and crisp and we received a beautiful welcome basket which was a nice touch.

    Beautiful cottage and highly recommended!!!

    Gretta
  • Check in was super easy, excellent communication from the owners as I was travelling with an elderly relative. Nearby Diggers Beach was beautiful and the house was perfect. Every little detail had been considered right down to complimentary snacks on arrival. Quiet and peaceful surroundings but close to the town for restaurants and shopping. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

    Lisa – Lyneham
  • Hi Jason and Lisa,

    Thank you so much for your kind welcome gift. We have had such a wonderful time here and enjoyed the cottage, beach, just everything so much. You have both done such a great job of making the cottage so complete, artistic and “homely”.

    Thank you so much again.

  • Diggers Beach is absolutely delightful! Thank you so much for all the little personal touches. Beds were wonderful as were the showers! We come down about 3 times a year to bring our son to a scout camp so will book your cottage every time!

    Michael & Simone
  • We had a wonderful time. What a beautiful cottage! We will never forget this trip. Thank you very much and we appreciate your kindness.

  • For a first time booking privately I wasn’t sure what to expect. Communication and booking was simple and easy. The electronic door code was great as we had no keys to lose or worry about. The little extra personal touches made it even better. The house is amazing, very clean, with everything you need at your fingertips. Great location as the beach is a 2 minute walk. Thank-you, we will be back!

    Melisa – Armidale
  • Hi Jason & Lisa,

    Thank you for a wonderful 5 nights at Diggers Beach Cottage! You have thought of everything for the cottage.

    All was fantastic. Many thanks again.

  • I’d like to provide some feedback on Diggers Beach Cottage.
    We were pleasantly surprised at how welcoming the Cottage was upon arrival. We were incredibly impressed with how well presented, well appointed and impeccably clean the cottage was.
    The Cottage’s decor is warm and welcoming with classic taste applied throughout.
    Having stayed in a multitude of accommodation types for work and leisure over a few decades, I believe your Cottage sets the standard for how accommodation should be presented/managed. In fact you could also run a masterclass on the side to show the others how it’s done. But then again why give the competition half a chance?
    We will certainly be returning (for a longer stay) when the opportunity next presents.
    Peter & Martha
  • Dearest Jason & Lisa,

    Just beautiful.

  • This place really is a home away from home. I stayed with a friend and we immediately fell in love with the cottage. It was modern and clean with a warm homely feel. Lisa and Jason have created such a beautiful ambiance from the personal welcome note to the modern decor. Staying at the cottage was such a pleasure that I cannot wait to return. I highly recommend staying at this amazing cottage.

  • Straight from the pages of a designer homes magazine with every facility included. The short walk to the most beautiful beach more than makes up for not having a pool. Lovely hosts. Could not have asked for anything more.

    Anita – Great Britain
  • Thank you for having us!

    We absolutely loved having some time in the cottage. You have literally thought of everything and it was a pleasure for us to stay. Thanks again, your generosity and attention to detail has blown us away. Looking forward to staying again and again!

  • What a warm, welcoming feeling we received when we stepped into your beautiful home. It is so tastefully finished with everything so thoughtfully laid out. We as the Lee family loved it!! Thank you.

    (We slept very well too!)

    The Lee Family – Singapore
  • We had the most incredible stay. The house is so beautiful, it looks like something off Pinterest. The hosts have thought of everything down to books, dvd’s, games, washing powder and sauces. The house is so well equipped. The welcome package and handwritten note was a beautiful touch. When I return to Coffs there is nowhere else I would stay. Recommend it for friend groups or families. It has it all.

    Sinead – Ireland
  • Dear Jason & Lisa,

    Thank you for the delightful welcome gift and having us as guests at the cottage.  Our stay was very pleasant though too brief.  Your house is exceptionally neat and clean and it truly felt like a home away from home.

  • What can I say, but…FANTASTIC. What a place. It was only two nights, as we had time constraints, but next time it will be longer. Just a brilliant place, and the appeal and cleanliness was the best of any place we have ever stayed in, anywhere in the world, and that is not a figure of speech either.

    Everything anyone could want is in the cottage. The area is quiet, friendly and knowledgeable neighbours, yet so close to shopping centre and of course the beach.

    Many thanks for having such an amazing place, and also making the check in process so simple. What a hidden gem this place is.

    Brian & Heather – Queensland

  • Thank you so very much for your beautiful home. We loved staying here, it’s a gorgeous place. We would love to come back and stay longer with our husbands and really enjoy the great location. Thanks again.

    What an amazing sanctuary. We will be back!

  • I don’t usually write reviews as we travel a lot but our stay was so enjoyable I just had to put in one. Lisa was great to communicate with throughout the booking process and went above and beyond to organise cot, high chair and toys for our daughter. When we arrived we were instantly impressed by the location, layout, functionality and thoughtfulness into everything. We felt instantly at home with the decor and styling, even christmas decorations too! There were awesome cookbooks (which my wife loved, a nice collection of DVD’S (and a very cozy couch to go with the TV), boxes of toys and board games, a brilliant BBQ which made my culinary skills good for once, and even beach toys. The bathrooms are modern with beautiful towels and toiletries supplied. We spent a lot of time sitting and eating at the outdoor entertainment area which was surrounded by lovely gardenias and other beautiful plants and flowers. The location was ideal as it was very quiet and very close to the surf beaches which was great as I surfed a couple of breaks nearby. We spent a fair bit of time at Diggers Beach and on the massive lawn at the front of Aanuka Beach Resort which was great to run around and play on. All in all this was an amazing place and Lisa and Jason are absolutely amazing hosts. They have made it easy to appreciate the beautiful cottage. We will definitely be back! A big thank you guys!

    Chao & Kate
  • Hi Jason & Lisa,

    We had a wonderful time here for the past 3 nights! It’s a beautiful, relaxing house. The books and DVD’s were great as it poured with rain. Hope we can visit again.

  • The Diggers Beach Cottage would have to be one of the best places that we have ever stayed at. Not only is this place clean and comfortable it goes above and beyond with particular attention to detail. It really sits within luxury accommodation but comes at an affordable price. It was just the little things that we were able to use at the cottage that made a massive difference. A lot of thought has been put into the cottage which makes it stand a head above any accommodation that we have stayed at. Well done Lisa and Jason and thank you very much for providing a superior product, it really made our stay in Coffs Harbour a 10/10 experience.

    The Fraser Family
  • “Loved this place from the moment we walked in. The property was perfect in every way and had a lovely cosy feel to it. Excellent furnishings and fittings, warm and cosy and spotlessly clean, close to beaches and coastal walk and all the attractions. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Hosts were very friendly & helpful. Toys and kids games were an added bonus for families with young kids like mine.”
