VALLA and VALLA BEACH are small communities on the Mid North Coast of NSW, midway between Coffs Harbour and Kempsey. You can get there via the Pacific Highyway and turn off 15km south of Urunga or 7km north of Nambucca Heads. You can enjoy the best of beach and bush with rural lifestyle acreage available within 1 kilometre of the ocean. Coffs Harbour, 39km to the north, provides all major services. The airport provides direct services to/from Sydney (Qantaslink and Virgin Australia), Melbourne (Virgin Australia), and Brisbane (Brindabella Airlines). A network of regular and school bus services operated by Busway provide access to schools from Macksville to Coffs Harbour including Bellingen.

VALLA is on the western side of the Pacific Highway and is home to those seeking a rural lifesyle. Its rich land is home to many Macadamia plantations, locally grown vegetables and fruit, and pastures. Nearby state forests accommodate some mighty giants.

VALLA BEACH, on the coastal side of the highway, is the place for those seeking solitude. There are miles of unspoilt pristine beaches that provide the perfect setting for slow leisurely walks, looking for shells, driftwood and interesting landforms, including a cave. Valla Beach is bordered by Jagun Nature Reserve in the North, and both Valla Nature Reserve and Deep Creek to the South, that preserve the exquisite beachside atmosphere. There is a community pre-school and a bus terminal for both public and school bus services.

The area offers a variety of rural pursuits and enjoys a reputation for fishing, snorkelling opportunities, and some of the best surf on the north coast are just a small part of what this area has to offer, all within an easy ½ hour drive from Coffs Harbour Airport. You're so close, yet so far away from it all.
