The Vibe Beach House - direct beach access, spa

4.84 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviews3 months ago

Fantastic house for a family getaway. We had two families travel to this beautiful house and it was a perfect setup for everyone. Great location with local shops & a café/restaurant/supermarket nearby. Short drive to the lake which was perfect for kids to go fishing, swimming & jumping off the bridge! We had a few wet days but the large rumpus room provided lots of options to keep everyone entertained & the covered jacuzzi kept everyone warm. Made homemade pizzas in the outdoor oven which came out great. Fantastic stay and will be back again

THE BEACH HAVEN SPECTACULAR TRULY BESPOKE LUXURY

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviews33 months ago

This house is beautiful. It is perfect indoor/outdoor living, gorgeously decorated and has amazing beach views. The living area is spacious and the bedrooms are very comfortable with great quality linen. Check in was not quite as advertised, the host made multiple prior contacts regarding potential rule breaking (even mentioned eviction) and insisted on meeting us in person. I think she had previous bad experiences with a group which is a shame but it wasn’t the best start to our holiday. Fortunately the rest of the experience was great. Time moves slowly in the house, which is divine, until check out time!

Kelly (Kirstie’s cohost) was very responsive. We had a bit of a situation with rubbish bins being full (nothing to do with host but just the council collection schedule and holidays!) - Kelly provided us with some alternatives :). Overall, very enjoyable stay and the location is simply awesome. Looking forward to returning for one of our breaks.

Beach Views - with Heated Pool!

5 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviews1 month ago

We had an amazing experience and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Whole family went crazy at the super modernised heated pool. Kids didn’t want to go anywhere and always looked forward to come back home during our stay. Such a serene place to stay and same as described by our beautiful host Skye. Host was proactive and detailed in providing instructions. Stunning views, the mighty sounds of the waves truly mesmerised us. Would 100% recommend to all. Only thing is it didn’t have air conditioner , but i am sure host will get it soon as the house gets extremely hot during the day but at night and early morning it was pleasantly breezy and a lot cooler.

Your guide to Hat Head

Welcome to Hat Head

On the New South Wales mid-North Coast, a five-hour drive north of Sydney, Hat Head is a tiny seaside town surrounded by Hat Head National Park. The lush natural setting gives this low-key beach holiday destination a wonderful sense of isolation, yet the larger town of Kempsey, the hub of the Macleay Valley Coast, lies just 32 kilometres (or a 30-minute drive) inland.

With limited dining options in the town of around 300 residents, Hat Head is the type of place you bring everything you’ll need to enjoy being immersed in nature, whether that means tackling excellent local walking trails, hitting the surf, paddling in the Korogoro Creek estuary that meanders through the village, or simply lazing on the beach. There are plenty more surf spots worth seeking out along this stretch of coastline, as well as similarly laid-back coastal towns just a short drive to the north and south.

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

The warmer months from October to April are typically the most popular times to visit the coastal towns of the NSW mid-North Coast. Winter days, however, are more comfortable for bushwalking, and it’s often still warm enough for swimming. Whales also arrive during the cooler months; Korogoro Point, at the tip of Hat Head’s headland, is a good vantage point for spotting several species, particularly humpback whales, as they migrate along Australia’s east coast between May and November. Book well ahead for accommodation during school holidays, when Connors Beach, Hat Head’s main beach, is patrolled by lifeguards. In May, you can catch the Crescent Head Malibu Classic surfing competition in Hat Head’s neighbouring town to the south.

Top things to do in Hat Head

Hat Head National Park

From the southeastern edge of Hat Head you can access trailheads for the Korogoro Walking Track that loops the headland, and the Connors Walking Track that skirts several secluded beaches, perfect for a romantic picnic. There are more trails to explore at the northern end of the national park, 30 kilometres northeast of Hat Head at Smoky Cape, which is also home to a heritage lighthouse.

South West Rocks and Arakoon National Park

Just 28 kilometres north of Hat Head, the coastal town of South West Rocks is known for the historic Trial Bay Gaol perched on its headland. The colonial-era ruins, which you can tour, form part of Arakoon National Park, which has some scenic coastal walking trails.

Crescent Head

A 40-minute drive south of Hat Head lies the slightly larger coastal village of Crescent Head. Named one of Australia’s National Surfing Reserves in 2008, its main beach, Killick Beach, is famed for its long right-hand break. The sheltered waters of Killick Creek are also a popular swimming spot for families.
