THE AREA
Hat Head National Park on the mid-north coast of NSW near South West Rocks is a natural paradise. Explore the lighthouse, camp by the beach and go fishing and swimming. Hat Head National Park, near Kempsey, is a place of exceptional beauty. The beaches, sand dunes, rainforest and wetlands offer an ideal backdrop for bushwalking, camping or a quiet picnic.

There are lots of walking tracks to choose from, excellent fishing and whale watching. Birdwatchers can look for black swans and spoonbills in the park’s wetlands, hawks and eagles soaring above beach cliffs and shorebirds like curlews and plovers around the beach.

Sandy Bottoms was ideal for our family to enjoy a couple of nights in Hat Head. An easy walk to local shops and the beach made it perfect for our little kids. Everything was super clean, extra thought was put in, and communication was easy with Michael. Loved it!

Beautiful property steps away from the water
We had a lovely stay at this property for two nights. Michael was a great host with quick responses to any questions we had. Beds were nice and comfortable and location was great. Nothing is a too far away in Hat Head and it was nice to be away from the the busier caravan park. We will try and come back in some warmer weather to really get the most out of this beautiful place! Also have to mention the wine and chocolate on arrival was a nice touch. Thank you 🙏

Perfect
The house was lovely. Weather and temperature beautiful for July. The best thing for us was the creek opposite and the supplied kayaks/life jackets. As novice kayakers it was perfect to get our confidence and learn the ropes. The beach was beautiful. The store down the road priced a little more than a regular grocer but not exorbitant and had most things you could want. Great coffee. We loved our stay.

Amazing !
It’s hard to put into words how lovely this place is. The moment you walk in you are greeted with the most wonderful smells. It’s so clean and tidy. Everything you need is there. The mattresses are so comfortable, Shower is amazing, pool is amazing, great location in a nice quiet street. Can just walk across the street and take a dip in the beautiful creek. The hosts are so accommodating, easy to communicate with and just really lovely people. We were very sad to leave. Will most definitely stay here again. Cannot wait ! :)
