What a hidden gem
This place was exactly what the doctor ordered - what a relaxing location to escape our busy Sydney lifestyle. We are truly sad to be leaving today after a spectacular week. The house has everything you could possibly need and is very well equipped, while the location speaks for itself. Can't wait to return! 🙂

Fabulou beach holiday house
The house more than lived up to our expectations. It was very clean and well equipped with a wonderful outlook. Easy walk to great beach and cafes. Such a sunny and warm spot for a winter beach holiday especially appreciated by us from the south! We look forward to returning for a longer stay.

Excellent!
We had a wonderful time in this lovely beach house, everything is walking distance, but it is exclusive and tranquil, pretty private and has the most phenomenal views from sunrise to sunset. Then the night sky - and a candle lit dinner - perfect setting for a "romantic" escape.

First Rate. Wonderful place for a holiday.
We loved it. Every mod con you could want. Loved the sense of space. It is quiet and restful. You aren’t jammed up next to other houses. The views take your breath away. You are on the water and next to a really private beach. Owners delightful and super helpful. The house is well laid out and set up for guests. We had a really special holiday.

The view made a good holiday into a great holiday!
Raw beauty. The house faces north onto an ocean reserve with postcard views of mountains, beaches and rolling waves. Photos are real but they don’t capture the fresh scented air or the large skies. At night we looked up to a carpet of twinkling stars. It is like a spread in some incredible travel magazine. Little Beach is in front of the house – down a grassy hill. The hosts were generous with local tips. House is very clean, has everything and then some: quality toiletries, comfortable beds, crisp linen, hot showers in three bathrooms, under cover parking for the cars and level access. Coming and going with all our gear and food was easy. We walked into the town centre around the headland and back along the beach. Easy walk to the beaches to swim, no roads and truly beautiful swimming beaches. To cap off the perfect holiday, we were in luck and caught whiting off the main beach late in the afternoon for a BBQ dinner. Sitting looking at the sun set - we did not want to leave. A romantic, fun beach house. One of the best holidays in ages.

Awesome location, awesome house
A beach house perfectly located with a view that makes you never want to leave. Best thing was being able to have our dog with us! Living spaces are really comfy, well equipped kitchen. A bathroom for everyone! Owner was very communicative and helpful, especially after a storm affected internet.

A very special place for a holiday
What to say about this beach house? What can one say? The Views took our breath away every day. We felt very fortunate. We took so many photos of the wild grasses, the colours of the ocean and skies, the layers of mist rising from the mountains in the mornings. All SO SO SO very beautiful. We loved coming back to the house each morning for breakfast after a swim, or walk on the beach. We loved sitting with a glass of Aussie wine on the deck watching the sunset. We also love the pine trees. Please never cut those big trees down. This is a very special place on the planet. Please preserve its beauty.

Whales -Wow, Wonderful!
This is maybe our fifth stay – and our second with new owners. House seems to be improved each time we stay… with small things. This time it was lovely new salad bowls. Its such a wonderful place for a holiday. Super clean and simply spectacular. We were treated to pods of whales and their babies playing in the cove just in front of the house and didn’t need to leave the front deck. It was so exciting. The second day a large eagle sailed overhead and landed on the lawn. We had breakfast outside and the Rosellas played next to us in the flowering native bush. Many more whales maybe at this time of year. And more whales in one morning than a whole day on the whale boat tour that we paid to go on from Nambucca. We love this beach house. And we just love driving over the hill into Scotts Head.

Amazing views, amazing place
We've just- sadly- returned home from 10 wonderful days at The View. We didn't want to leave. From beginning to end it was a perfect holiday. The house is fantastic: clean and spacious and non-fussy which is perfect for a beach holiday. Everything is very high quality but not to the point that you are worried about sandy feet on expensive carpet! It's also perfect for pets & kids- both of which we had! Our border collie loved tearing around the grass out the back & loved the beach below even more, which was a fun 5 minute ramble down the hill. The beds were comfy, the kitchen really well equipped & the showers hot & good water pressure. We didn't use the games, books or DVD's but only because we were so exhausted every day from our beach & sightseeing trips to do anything but fall into bed! But if you're in the mood for a good book or a good game, the owners have definitely provided. We also really appreciated the dog bowls & the baby bath! The view, obviously, is just amazing and is even better in person. We loved sitting on the deck at sunset with a glass of wine, staring out over the ocean & the headland. It was so relaxing & so peaceful & we just can't wait to come back again. Just a fantastic holiday!

Excellent Property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at THE VIEW. The high cathedral ceilings, and barn doors gives it a lot of character. It was simply amazing to look up and see whales while we were having breakfast on the deck. Relieved it had good heating. Everything was excellent.

Book it now, you wouldn't regret it!
Easily the best house on the street, this house is full of 'wow' factor from the minute you walked in. good sized bedrooms with proper comfortable beds and those extra bathrooms are super handy with 6 people staying! The view from this place is postcard perfect. There is a path through the long grass leading down to the beach, but watch out for the cliff drop off with your younger kids and eager dogs! Kitchen is modern and well equipped. Showers are great and water pressure is strong and welcoming after a day at the beach. The kids loved the rocky areas during the low tides. Not overcrowded and people are really friendly. Alexandra is easily reached and reasonable. Definitely a place we will hope to come back again soon!

Awesome discovery!
This is the 7th dog friendly holiday we have been to & found on STAYZ & while i would return to & recommend them all, the bar has definitely been raised to new heights literally, well worth the 426km drive down & we will definitely return, this unique property ticks all the boxes for my fussy standards of a holiday, from my searches for holiday accommodation, i have learnt to research EXACTLY where the property is as quite a few owners have a tendency to post water view photos but aren't actually on the water! The photos speak for themselves, what you see, is what you get from the main bedroom,the decks, the the lounge, dining & kitchen, absolutely spectacular! Its a hard decision to decide where you will choose to sit, relax & enjoy the day & views! My partner kept her fitness up with morning runs along the beach with an odd 24k round trip to the Nambucca River mouth while i kept myself busy walking the pugs multiple times every day exploring the multitude of rocky headlands, coves & beaches, morning & afternoon swims at the beautiful Little Beach where the water temp was just perfect, taste testing the coffees & food from the local shops, catching the sunrises & stargazing at the amazing amount of stars visible at night in comparison to the big cities, enjoying fresh locally supplied seafood with plenty of alcohol & filling in the gaps with plenty of snoozes on the sun lounges, deck chairs, & lounge! the house is well set out & just works to make you feel comfortable like its your own home (we all wish!) Alex was very accommodating & helpful & friendly, our review just serves to compliment & add to the already positive previous reviews, dreaming of our return!

There are views and there are amazing views...
This house has the most unique views.. Blew away our friends from overseas. The attention to detail, quality furnishings and clean styling was a welcome change from “coastal cheap”. This is one of the really good holiday houses we’ve stayed in so far. Excellent value. We highly recommend it.

Beautiful Views
We had a really lovely week at this house enjoying Scotts Head and surrounds. The house is well set up with very comfortable furniture and the queen bed we slept in was firm and great for a good nights sleep and a pretty view to wake up to. Ensuite is small but ok and we used the outdoor shower as there was no one next door and it was very enjoyable. Complimentary toiletries of a high quality were very much appreciated too. The kitchen is very well set up with everything you need and there is a fab bbq outside and a lovely walk to Scotts Head either along the road and footpath or on a headland walk that is so picturesque. People in the area are incredibly friendly and the coffee at the coffee shop in Scotts Head was outstanding. The barramundi burger from the local takeaway was delicious and the $3 serving of chips more than large enough for 2 hungry adults. Local beach is really great for swimming and water temp was 25 when we were there. You can walk along the beach for many kilometres. Bellingen and Dorigo easy drives and well worth visiting and also Smokey Cape at South West Rocks has gorgeous deserted beaches. We arrived on probably the hottest weekend ever recorded in NSW and were so pleased we had air con. However the controls for the air con in the frontroom and our bedroom had been removed and when we asked the owner about them she said she didn't provide air con. However it clearly states that air con is available on the website and it was an important item for us when considering staying there as I feel the heat a lot. Luckily we were able to manually turn the air con on as the house was about 40 when we arrived and we couldn't open the windows as there was a very hot wind blowing. Luckily after that weekend we got lovely sea breezes every night and with the windows open it was perfect for sleeping. Overall I would recommend this house highly and would certainly return.
