Coastal & Co exists to bring people together for life’s most meaningful moments — effortlessly and affordably. Blending the charm of a beachside retreat with the flexibility of a private estate, we’re built for simple escapes, group getaways and unforgettable celebrations. This place has always been about people. For years it was a beloved school campsite filled with summer sun, ocean swims and friendships made under the stars. In 2022, when devastating floods struck Northern NSW, the site became a lifeline providing temporary housing for the local community until 2024. Today, reimagined as Coastal & Co, the cabins have been thoughtfully renovated to a new level of comfort. We’ve kept the heart, added the ease, and created a place where you can holiday simply or host something special... close to nature and even closer to your people.

Nestled between beach, river and coastal bushland in Evans Head, our cabins bring together easy comforts and thoughtful design, so holidays feel breezy, not fussy, spacious and classic. We have everything you need to slow down and reconnect, only a convenient 4-minute drive into town and an easy 30 second walk to the famous Airforce Beach. Expect the practical things that matter (kitchenettes, close parking, shared laundry) and spaces that make unwinding effortless. Here you can enjoy the best parts of Evans Head with your friends and family.

There's a long list of things to explore and do in Evans. They call it the Jewel of the Northern rivers for a reason... For our adventurous guests, exploring Airforce Beach in your 4WD is top of the bucket list. No permits are required, and access to the beach is located just down the road. Dirawong Reserve is a natural beauty, comprising of approximately 300 hectares of coastal bushland. A dominant feature is the Goanna Headland on the northern boundary. Follow the walking tracks and explore the headland of Evans Head where you will cross secluded beaches, caves and may spot a whale or even a pod of dolphins! Cool off with a swim at Chinamans Beach, Main Beach, or Shark Bay, or take it slow with the family by the river. Here, the calm waters are perfect for kids, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, or fishing in the shallows. In summer, keep an eye out for dolphins feeding in the river at dusk. When it’s time to refuel, Oak Street is where the locals gather - lined with cafés, shops, and restaurants worth exploring. Explore Evans history at the Living Museum, have a go at playing lawn bowls or try your luck at a winning a meat raffle. And if you feel like venturing further, Evans Head is the perfect base for day trips to Byron, Ballina, and Lismore, with the best of the Northern Rivers right at your doorstep.
