Urunga Getaway - Town Centre Acreage

IssabelleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
4.5 stars easily. Lucy was a super awesome host. Very responsive and allowed me to check in a day early. She warned us of ants from the recent wild cyclonic weather. The yard was nice and big and green. The house was awesome. Heats up easy so recommend having the fans and aircon on. The amenities were good. Some needed cleaning due to ants. The deck being enclosed or open was awesome. Allowed us to keep our dogs crated and safe and in view. Beds were comfy too. I’d honestly LOVE to come back here again. It was such a lovely stay. I really enjoyed it. Only reason for the half star loss is just because even though the dogs weren’t allowed inside, I’m assuming someone before us did because there was fur all over the rug (before our dogs even left the car and they were never inside per host request) and dirt in bathrooms and laundry. The ants can’t be helped after the recent floods and what not. The back door onto the deck is a bit hard to move and we were worried we might break it.

Rippa's Rest

TamsynRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We all had such an amazing time at Rippas Rest. The kids, hubby and i really enjoyed the beautiful pool and tennis court and the lovely house and surroundings. Our little Boston had such a good time with all the toys and all that space to run with secure fencing throughout the property. Justine provided all the information required, clear instructions and the place had everything we needed and more! Cant wait to go back for a winter stay.

Brodie House & Bungalow, Pet Friendly

DavidRating, 5 stars9 months ago
Brodie House and Bungalow was the perfect location for our trip to Coffs Harbour. We were after somewhere close to restaurants, the beach and golf courses, and this property ticked all those boxes. The property was a really nice size and had good breakout areas to use. Would definitely recommend the house for larger groups or multiple families travelling together. Tracey was really easy to communicate with and very responsive to any questions. A great trip away.

Tropical retreat close to everything

SandyRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Pete & Maria’s place was very comfortable and close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. They explained where good restaurants were and came out the front to greet us when we arrived. The patio looks out onto a tropical rainforest which is so private, peaceful and relaxing. There is an enormous TV that is easy to navigate. Coffee machine, large fridge and so many other appliances were also available.

Your guide to Scotts Head

Welcome to Scotts Head

At the southern end of the Nambucca Shire on the New South Wales Mid North Coast, the tiny coastal town of Scotts Head has long been a popular holiday destination. The sands of Main (Forster) Beach stretch for miles to the north, perfect for long beach walks and peaceful solitary swims. While the gentle waves of Scotts Head are perfect for young children, a variety of surf breaks can also be found here.

A well-equipped recreation area adjoins the southern end of the beach featuring free gas barbecues, modern amenities blocks, drinking water, and picnic tables. Running parallel to Main Beach is Warrell Creek. Part of Gaagal Wanggaan (South Beach) National Park, it’s a beautiful setting for kayaking, though you’ll need to bring your own or hire one in Nambucca Heads. To the south of Scotts Head lies Yarriabini National Park, which has a superb lookout and several picnic spots.


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

Like most Mid North Coast beach towns, Scotts Head is at its busiest during the summer months, particularly during New South Wales school holidays. It’s warm enough to swim year-round, though you’ll want a wetsuit for surfing during the colder months from around May through September. The cooler months are ideal for exploring nearby national parks, with the Scotts Head Lookout a good spot for whale watching from May to November. The winter months also see banksias bloom along Tower Road as you head up to Yarriabini Lookout in Yarriabini National Park to enjoy spectacular views of the Macleay Valley. Held in April, the Scotts Head Festival showcases gourmet food, wine, and boutique beers, as well as music and art from across the region.


Top things to do in Scotts Head

South West Rocks and Arakoon National Park

A 45-minute drive south of Scotts Head, the small coastal town of South West Rocks makes for a great day trip. Well known among the scuba diving community for its Fish Rock Cave dive site, South West Rocks is also home to the colonial-era Trial Bay Gaol jail, part of Arakoon National Park, which has five scenic walking trails.

Nambucca Heads

A tranquil town at the mouth of the Nambucca River, a 25-minute drive north of Scotts Head, Nambucca Heads is popular for swimming, surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and fishing. Boat tours are also available on the river. Don’t miss the graffitied rocks of the V Wall at the Nambucca River entrance, which has become an outdoor gallery.

Hat Head

Just under an hour’s drive south of Scotts Head, the picturesque small coastal town of Hat Head is surrounded by Hat Head National Park. At the southeastern edge of town lie the trailheads for the Korogoro Walking Track that loops the headland, and the Connors Walking Track that skirts a string of secluded beaches. 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.
