Grey Nomads, Sawtell, NEW SOUTH WALES
Airing Date: Feb 27th, 2006
Sawtell is a peaceful and rather typical coastal retirement and family recreation centre on the far north coast of NSW. It is is about 30 mins south of Coffs Harbour, bounded to the west by the railway line, to the north by Boambee Creek and to the south by Bonville Creek.
While it hasn't changed its name, Sawtell Beach Caravan Park still has something for everyone. Set on 55ha, it's the perfect setting for the relaxing winter retreat. Australians of 'mature years' or 'Grey Nomads' as we 'young folk' like to call them are shunning suburbia, driving off into the sunset trailing their Jaycos and Sunliners behind them.
Across super highways in the cities to dirt tracks in the bush, they are chasing their dreams and discovering a whole new world. The fellowship of the road. During the winter months hundreds of Grey Nomads set up here to bide away the time, far from the chill of their southern hometowns. They come from everywhere- South Australia, Canberra, Victoria....
The park is just a hop, skip and a jump from the village of Sawtell with its restaurants, cinemas, clubs and patrolled surfing beach. The Bowling club adjoins the park and the Golf club is only 300m away. Coffs Harbour and its many attractions are only 10 km to the north.
Sawtell Beach Caravan Park now offers exclusive Ocean Villas with breathtaking views of the headland, beaches and Bongil Bongil National Park. The spectacular views are complimented by Ocean Villas fitted with wrap around Verandah, stylish wooden outdoor setting, latest stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, DVD and 2 Colour TV's. The Ocean Villas are ideal for your next family holiday escape or romantic weekend away.
