Reviews of Coraki, NSW
"Good small town"
Pros:Good Take away. Lovely maintained river side and popular caravan park with footpaths. No traffic- Small town- friendly people. There’s a Few amenities- bakery, butcher, hairdressers, excellent post office. etc. Fairly quiet. 20 mins to beach. Dog park. Fishing in river. Local primary schools. CONS- Very ordinary disappointing supermarket. The pub in town plays loud awful music Friday and sat night but nice staff and good food. Few dodgy areas not to live in - break ins and many car thefts. Lots of people own dogs. Too many pet cats out at night. Occasionally an outside street domestic. WAY TOO MANY IDIOTS LETTING OFF FIRECRACKERS. The occasional smell from local cane burning. Local police is just there for looks. Too many noisey bikers coming through. FLOODING IN TOWN- so buy on the hill! We moved away due to work but not bad little place to live.

"Affordable & Friendly Rural Haven on the River near the Sea"
Coraki is on the southern most tip of the Northern Rivers region. It has not yet boomed like the rest of the region and is therefore affordable and has plenty of opportunity for growth. It is a quiet little village with friendly locals who look out for each other. Great servives for young families but very little in the way of nightlife if you're after that. A few restaurants and a pub is all it can boast so far. The river provides plenty of action for the fisherman or boating enthusiast and is only 30mins by car to the beautiful beaches of Evans Head. Two well regarded primary schools, fantastic preschool and plenty of childcare.
We've lived here for 3yrs and love it. Large blocks are standard so vegie swaps with the neighbours are common place. Coraki is in dire need of a few more cafe's and local trades people so if you want to pursue your own business then this is the place to look.

Yep, it's cheap, that's correct. Cheap for a reason. If you wish to move to a region just for it's price you are in for a shock! Coraki for example is full of low life people. people who will mask their true self's just to be your first friend then trade you and make you the enemy just to protect themselves. I bought a home there and have never experienced such demons. Don't trade your life for a cheap home purchase, you only live once.
Only place to swim there is in your own sweat n tears. Cant sleep cause everyone takes their arguments out in the street at 2am. And everyone has big loud barking dogs.
Way too many barking dogs ,either people got something to hide or paranoid,not a friendly place stinks of round up! Every second person rev head.
Coraki is supremely beautiful landscape of rivers, green flat land & big Sky. It is a fascinating & mysterious place to live, having so many unanswered questions & happenings about it, historically & recent. Newcomers to Coraki bringing, enterprise, new & fresh ideas would be most welcome by all the good people.
Thinking to buy a house in coraki. We are couple with no children. Is it safe there
