About Us

Hi, we’re Kasey and Carolyn

Hosting is more than just opening our doors — it’s our way of sharing the incredible lifestyle of the Bellingen and Coffs Harbour Shire. For us, it’s a great excuse to return often to the Mid North Coast, an area we truly love.

Kasey was raised in the Bellingen Shire and has fond memories of returning here on holidays, while Carolyn fell in love with the relaxed community, beautiful landscapes, and welcoming people. Together, we’ve styled our homes with brand-new furniture and thoughtful touches to create spaces that are both comfortable and fresh. Cleanliness and attention to detail are always top priorities.

We love the relaxed beaches and estuaries that never feel overcrowded, and the unbeatable year-round climate makes every visit special. When we’re not hosting, you’ll often find us enjoying nature walks, strolling along the beaches, or taking day trips to nearby towns. We’re boating and kayaking enthusiasts, spending hours on the Bellingen and Kalang rivers, or swimming at the Urunga Lido and Sawtell’s beaches and rockpool.

As part of the local community, we enjoy a game of lawn bowls, catching up with friends, and even the classic Aussie pastime of the local meat raffle.

When it comes to hosting, we respect our guests’ privacy but are always happy to help with holiday ideas, local recommendations, or hidden gems if asked. Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or connect with the community, we look forward to making your stay a memorable one.

About Us, Kasey and Carolyn

Who We Are

Welcome to Shore Escapes, your home for carefully curated Coffs Harbour holiday rentals. What began with our first cozy retreat in Urunga has grown into a collection of warm, welcoming getaways across the stunning Mid North Coast. From peaceful riverside mornings in Urunga to breezy beachside afternoons in Sawtell, we offer holiday rentals in the Coffs Harbour region that combine comfort, style, and local charm.

Whether you’re after a quiet couple’s escape or a family holiday by the sea, our Coffs Harbour holiday rentals are designed to help you slow down, explore, and make lasting memories.

Our Mission

At Shore Escapes, our mission is to make your time on the coast effortless and enjoyable. Through our Coffs Harbour holiday rentals, we aim to create relaxing spaces where guests feel at home — with clean, fully equipped homes, thoughtful touches, and local recommendations to help you discover the best of the region.

Our Story

Shore Escapes was founded in 2025 with the launch of Heart of Urunga, a two-bedroom hideaway ideal for riverside stays and slow coastal living. After a few months, we added Boronia Blue, an elegant beach house in Sawtell with retro charm and modern comforts. Both homes are part of our growing portfolio of Coffs Harbour holiday rentals, created with care and a deep love for the region.

What started as one property has now grown into a small but passionate hosting journey. We’re committed to delivering great stays across the Coffs Coast — one holiday rental at a time.
