Lovely location, house and garden. However, It was hot and humid in January, without a cooling system or fan it was uncomfortable to sleep at night.

A stunning break away from it all
Wow! What a place! It was characterful, clean, cozy and so comfy! So many nooks and crannies to relax and soak up the peace and quiet under the swaying trees. Everything was so well thought out and the outdoor rain shower was a huge hit. The host was so informative, attentive and helpful. Such a beautiful part of NSW with so much to see and do. We absolutely loved our stay and didn't want to leave. Highly recommend.

Perfect, quiet paradise and access to the beach
Beautiful setup and peaceful surroundings. Everything that you need for a relaxing stay. We were doing a screen time detox for the whole family so it really was paradise for connecting with each other again, reading on the hammock and hanging out in the tropical surrounds with the birds. Just perfect.

Peace & tranquility
Cosy & comfortable little cottage with beautiful tranquil surroundings. All the little extras included made our stay very comfortable. The wood fire was a lovely feature that kept the cottage nice & warm on the cooler nights. It was great that the beach was only a 300 metre walk away. Great holiday spot if you’re after peace & quiet surrounded by nature.

A dream house
What a house!!! Love the entertainment quarter and the outdoor shower with hot water (what a treat after a morning down at the beach). The house is lovely decorated and well stocked. Lots to explore around. James was really helpful and proactive. Will definitively come back 😊

Private and relaxing
Wonderful stay at the school house. Beautiful surrounding bushland in a private setting. The house was clean and comfortable. The beds were good. The owners had completed renovations with freshly sanded floors and a new outdoor deck, BBQ, toilet & fantastic outdoor shower. A few minutes drive to Stuarts Point to go fishing, a 5 minute walk to Grassy Head beach and a 8 min drive to Scotts Head. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Delightfully quaint
Our stay at the schoolhouse was dampened by wet weather but we still had a wonderful experience. The rooms were all unique & the outlook from the covered verandah was lush & tranquil. The family loved the local kookaburras who graced us with their presence every morning and afternoon.

Rest and relaxation.
We have had the most amazing time staying at this charming property. We are normally 100 miles an hour on holidays and this took us back, we ate meals on the verandah,played scrabble and enjoyed the local beaches. Thanks for a very well equipped holiday house the beds were super comfy and we really appreciated all the mozzie coli's and aeriguard.

peaceful relaxing holiday
Clean, quiet, well equipped, spacious cottage, easy walk to beach and terrific coffee roaster 3 doors away. Wifi and phone not bad during the day but usually not so good evenings. TV worked except after big storm. Bed comfortable, good shower, lots of extra towels, kitchen linens, and a range of spices and condiments. Well screened for insects. Short drive to well stocked general store, cafe and local restaurant, and 10 mins to Scotts Head for more cafe, shops, and beach options. We had a much needed rest after the year that was 2020.

The Grassy Head School House is perfect!
This place is magical. I was there on my own as I had to complete a work project and it was tranquil and relaxing and serene. I came home relaxed and rested (excellent bed) even though i was "working." I would also go again in a heart beat and take family, as it is prefect for a family group. Walking distance from the beach and surrounded by trees, it would be the BEST family holiday. I can not recommend it highly enough.
