Going to Coffs Harbour in Jan for a wedding. Planning on driving allowing 2 nights to drive up, 5 nights there ad 2 nights to drive back due to fact kids will go nuts if in car for too long! (Will be 4 and nearly 3)

So where do people suggest stopping for food stops or play??

Where do you suggest stopping the night??

What fun things are there to do on way up? as allowing time to explore and do things on way up
