We absolutely loved our time here! The house is stunning, the views are beautiful and I miss it already! Beds are super comfortable, kitchen is well equiped, Claire is so friendly and willing to help with anything! We loved kayaking in the creek, lying in the hammock and listening to the birds, looking out to the stunning countryside. Would love to visit again and highly recommend. Thankyou Claire and Rod for a wonderful getaway in paradise.

Huge modern home close to everything.

RebeccaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the property exceeded our expectations. Communication with the host was excellent. The house was beautifully designed. The living room was spacious and cozy, perfect for unwinding after a long day of competing. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and it was stocked with everything we could have needed for our 3 days stay. The bedrooms were equally comfortable. One of the standout features was the beautiful large balcony which accommodated all our guests. Overall, this property was absolutely perfect for our trip, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We would highly recommend this rental to anyone visiting the area. We will definitely be back!

A perfect spot in Lennox, the flat was so wholesome and we felt right at home, even better than the photos. With beautiful surroundings we had easy access to Byron Bay, and peaceful quiet location.

Large private rural property - Outdoor Firepit

JacquiRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful English-style house! It was the perfect setting for a group getaway—spacious, stylish, and so well-equipped with everything we could possibly need (and more). The surrounding nature was absolutely magical. We spent our mornings with a coffee in hand, listening to the creek running and the birds singing—so peaceful and grounding. The whole place had such a calm and welcoming energy, and it made our time together truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy a little slice of nature in total comfort. We'll definitely be back!

The Tide-Pottsville

LisaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Incredible house, incredible location, we LOVED everything about it. There are so many amazing features that aren’t even mentioned in the listing. The pool was in such a perfect location, in the sun all day but with shade at the end for parents watching over kids. There was a shelf at the end which was perfect for little ones that aren’t confident at swimming yet. Dani was a friendly and attentive host and all her tips were absolutely spot on. We have already booked again for next year!

Loved our stay and perfect place for what we were after. Walking distance from the beach and the restaurants, plenty of space for our family of four, and great garden area to play and relax in. The house was incredibly well looked after, clean and with all the amenities you needed. Looking forward to a return stay!

Was a great little stay for a night on our way up to Brisbane. Clean and tidy space. My dog loved laying outside on the deck and I’d recommend it to anyone travelling with or without an animal

Your guide to Evans Head

Introduction

Sand, salt water, sunshine, seafood: Evans Head is a coastal tonic for the soul. Life here revolves around the water, whether the Pacific Ocean surf, the calm river estuary that splices the township, or the freshwater lagoons and wetlands, home to hundreds of species of birds that characterize the national parkland of the surrounding Richmond Valley. This part of northern coastal New South Wales also played a fascinating, and unlikely, part in World War II, as the site of one of the country’s largest training bases for the Royal Australian Air Force. Not that you’d know it today. Like much of the rainforest-clad region, locals here live a languid, free-spirited lifestyle.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Evans Head

As most activities in Evans Head revolve around the water, it’s no surprise peak season is the warmer months. Summer (December through February) and fall (March through May) see daytime temperatures at their highest, between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This time of year is also the wettest, however, so be prepared for a few showers.

Water temperatures range from 78 degrees in summer to 72 in winter, which means you can swim here year-round. And cooler winter months (June through August) are also ideal for hikers, with daytime temperatures around 65 degrees and rainfall at annual lows. Regardless of the season, bring SPF 50+ sunscreen, a hat, flip-flops, and your swimsuit, plus good walking shoes if you’re planning on exploring the rainforest.


Top things to do in Evans Head

Beaches

With a surf beach patrolled by the Surf Life Saving Club (Main Beach), fishing favorite Airforce Beach, and long river beach Shark Bay, it’s natural that swimming, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking opportunities abound. The calm waters of the estuary are ideal for families, while waves galore invite board-riders along Pacific Ocean beaches.

National Parks

Stretching from Evans Head northward is Broadwater National Park, its coastal hiking trails popular among birdwatchers, picnickers, and those on the lookout for migrating humpback whales (May through November). To the south is Bundjalung National Park, a beguiling union of coastal heathland, powdery dunes, and deserted beaches. Whether you’re walking, fishing, or mountain biking, keep watch for eastern grey kangaroos, swamp wallabies, and bower birds, among the 140 species of animals that live here.

Evans Head Heritage Aviation Museum

History buffs will want to linger at this fascinating museum, offering insights into Australia’s role in WWII. Thousands of members of the Royal Australian Air Force were trained here, and their stories are remembered today through photographs, memorials, and a lot of gear, including military and civilian aircraft and artifacts collected from across Australia.
