About this property

Absolute waterfront beach house with massive deck - family and dog friendly

Dress circle waterfront location in gorgeous Scotts Head with huge deck overlooking Little Beach (which is just metres away).

Fully furnished and fitted out as a 'home' rather than a holiday house. Modern, well supplied kitchen, spacious open design to accommodate 8 persons and well behaved pets on request. Internal and external dining settings for 8 and BBQ on the deck.

There are 4 bedrooms with various configurations. And top quality linen supplied for your stay.

The living area has comfy couches and a day bed with tv and dvd player and many books, games and dvds.

For those that like to stay connected laptops/ipads can be tethered to your phone.

Scotts Head is about half way between Sydney and Brisbane. The new freeway is now complete from Sydney to Scotts takes about 5 hours. However, there are many great places to stop and explore on the way.

Scotts Head is close to picturesque countryside with places like Bellingen an easy day trip away.

Shopping is easy and there is a local butcher, baker and fishmonger in Scotts Head itself as well as a supermarket (open 7 days), bottleshop, cafes and bowling club. For a more extensive range Macksville is only 15 minutes or so drive away with a Woolworths open 7 days from 7am to 10pm.

We have a compendium with pamphlets of many of the local attractions.

Headlands

A magical place, a wild headland and beautiful house. Close to comfort and nature, our doggy enjoyed it too! Could not have wanted for anything

Perfect Scotts Head location

The house location is idyllic and the huge deck makes the most of the outlook to the beach and headland. The house itself is very well appointed and the kitchen perfect for preparing big family dinners. Two bathrooms, one with a separate toilet means there is never a queue. The separate bedroom beside the entry was perfect for a young family who never had to worry that the 20 month old would wake the house through the night. Overall very homey feel and comfortable. Definitely recommend the house to a group looking to make the most of a stay in Scotts Head.

Beach with Dogs

Great property in a great position. We took our two large dogs and we all had a great time so close to the beach. Some ceiling fans would be good when it gets hot at night.

Stunning location . Beautiful home

We have finished our week long stay at Headlands house. Set on a most stunning headland with amazing views. The house was beautifully appointed with all the amenities and space for the 7 of us to enjoy. The living area onto the huge deck made for relaxing daytimes , with the constant views. Our hosts were excellent! Prompt and friendly responses to all messages and a seamless check in/check out. Thank you ! We’ll be back !

About the host

Hosted by Christine Newman

We live in Sydney and have 4 children - 3 of whom have now finished school. We have been going up to Scotts Head for family holidays since 2003 for at least 2 weeks every year. Our dog comes with us and has an absolute ball as there are so many leash free beach areas for long walks.

Why they chose this property

We were fortunate enough to be able to purchase Headlands on one of our holidays when staying next door. We were delighted to be able to lock in the tradition of coming to the same place every year (having rented a number of different properties in Scotts Head over the years).

In particular, Headlands' location being absolute waterfront with a huge deck with a 200 degree ocean view is special. The closeness to Little Beach, a beach which one can often have to oneself, is a big plus. However, it is also close to Main Beach which is perfect for littlies (and where we went when our kids were small). Main Beach is patrolled during the summer.

What makes this property unique

Scotts Head is a place to recharge the batteries and Headlands is the perfect house to do this. It has extensive water views (and if you are there at the right time you can catch the whales migrating and/or dolphins cavorting).

The house is ocean facing with the deck living/eating space and 2 of the bedrooms all looking out over the ocean. The kitchen is very well equipped and we find that we rarely go out for dinner because we love to cook at Headlands and can source great local produce.
