A real gem!

Well equipped with everything you could need including kayaks and supps and outdoor cricket! A fantastic pick for families, located on the creek and only a short walk into town.

Just Perfect

My husband and I (along with our Airedale Terrier) were in need of a real break and the Back Door property did not disappoint!! From waking up in the morning to the magnificent view, listening to all the birds, swimming in the estuary, afternoon sun bakes in the bean bags on the lawn it was such a lovely break. Brian was very responsive to deal with and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Absolutely superb

We could not have been more delighted. We were visiting for a special family occasion and our stay was an added bonus. Brian and family should be very proud. The property, location, outlook, friendly service and all amenities were simply outstanding. We are looking forward to the chance of visiting again. Thank you very much for having us.

Mini Staycation

The Reno was great, rooms are large, views beautiful, private, great sized fenced yard and lots of amenities. Only thing I didn’t realise was that all the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen were upstairs and downstairs is the laundry. There’s a pretty big flight of stairs not a problem just wasn’t prepared for the trips with all the luggage. Thank you Brian, we made some beautiful family memories

We'll be back....

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Brian was great to deal with - very accommodating and agreeable. With easy access to the water, the house is perfectly located for watersports such as kayaking and stand up paddleboarding. The house is well presented and well equipped. Our group of 4 adults appreciated the 3 double bedrooms and two good sized bathrooms. We loved that the house is tucked away from the main tourist area but within a short walk to it. We'll miss the tranquility of watching the birdlife and changing tides from the upstairs back deck.

Fantastic holiday house

We loved our stay at Brian’s house. Brian went out of his way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We were 2 families staying here and really enjoyed our stay. The backyard is huge for the kids to play with hammocks, swing chairs, bean bag chairs, kayaks and stand up paddle boards. Some of us went kayaking to the beach in the mornings otherwise we drove 2 mins to the beach which had easy all day parking. The back of Brian’s place is also perfect for fishing. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything- cooking essentials, glad wrap, kitchen blender etc. There was an electrical socket in the backyard which made it easy for us to charge our EV. We would come back and stay for sure. We all had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Brian

My wife and I were born and raised on the Central Coast of NSW and continue to live on a small acerage at the back of Terrigal. I am a (mostly retired) landscape designer and my wife Karen runs a small bowel cancer charity.
I am a mad keen surfer and spend as much time as possible in Crescent Head, my wife enjoys our main home and only occasionally joins me at the house.

Why they chose this property

As a surfer I enjoy the variety of surf breaks however, my main enjoyment is the relaxed coastal feel, the salty locals and complete lack of traffic lights.

What makes this property unique

With the exception of the caravan park, we are arguably the only waterfront short term rental in Crescent. The ability to walk out the gate and have access to the beautiful clear lagoon is special, even at low tide the sand is clean and its fantastic to walk out and explore. I feel very fortunate to have found all this and still have a 10 min flat walk into town.
