We enjoyed a week at Crescent Head prior to Christmas 2022 staying at this property, perched high above the gorgeous little enclave of Crescent Head (population about 1500).
The kitchen was well equipped and spacious, the fridge a great size and the beds comfortable with clean linen and quality toiletries provided. For visitors bringing children the upper mezzanine floor has a QS bed and 2 singles, with another QS bedroom downstairs that can be closed off. The weather was cool when we stayed, so we were fairly comfortable with the sea breezes when it was sunny, however there is no airconditioning if that is important to you.
TV/lounge area was lovely and comfortable and this is a rare property where the owners have provided a decent sound system instead of just a token flat screen TV. A well equipped laundry and drying area is provided.
House would suit couples and small young families - Crescent Head has a perfect beach and estuary for swimming and frolicking - it’s truly gorgeous. The bakery is a stand out.
We also took advantage during our stay of a short day trip to South West Rocks and Trial Bay to see the lighthouse and the old gaol.
We only had one very minor issue - on a day where we were staying inside the house due to inclement weather, the owner had arranged for a gentleman to whipper-snipper the entire property (top to bottom) …due to allergies we had to close up the house and would have preferred the owner to let us know in advance that this noisy maintenance would be occurring whilst we were paying guests in situ. Our stay ended on a Wednesday morning so presumably there were days before the next guest would be arriving in which to plan such garden maintenance? Other than this minor (literal) irritation we were satisfied with the property and would happily stay again. Thanks!
