Bondy's Surf Shack
Highly recommended property. Lorraine was on hand if needed but very respectful of our privacy. The house is wonderful - great collection of surfboards and regalia. More than expected chocolate, wine and treats provided and a very peaceful place with stunning views.

Riverside on Clarence
I had a wonderful 3-night stay at Helen's place! It was everything I needed and more. Helen’s kindness and thoughtfulness truly made me feel right at home. From the delicious treats she provided to having access to all TV streaming services, every detail was carefully considered to ensure my stay was perfect.

Sawtell Sunrise
It's a very nice, bright, well equipped flat in a fantastic location.

Banksia Beach Apartment, on the beach
Beautifully presented accommodation, perfect for a quite beach getaway. Location overlooking the sand dunes and surf was magical. We were able to walk everywhere…. Wooli Wooli Cafe for great coffee, the bowls club for yummy Chinese dinner and the Wooli Boat hire for a couple of hours cruising Wooli Wooli River. We felt very at home in your gorgeous beach getaway Sally. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Beach Front Apartment Sawtell
Highly recommend Marks place, great location

South West Rocks Apartment- Point Briner
A great location- convenient to everything and a lovely view. Jan was very responsive and easy to deal with. The lady in LJ Hooker who we collected the keys from was not as pleasant unfortunately but that didn’t stop us from having a lovely time.

Slice of Sawtell Oceanstay
We booked last minute at this place, and Michelle was quick to reply and accept the booking. We felt very look after, and the place was very clean, and a great place to stay. Close to the beach and town, we loved staying here.

Bonville on Bonville - Sawtell Waterfront Luxury
I had the pleasure of staying at Heather home for over 3 months while our home was being renovated under an insurance claim. Heather is extremely kind and was wonderful in accomadating our booking extensions each time, going above and beyond, to ensure we didn't have to move on until we could move home. Heather's home is beautiful and luxuriously styled, with all the modern amenities to ensure a comfortable stay, the surroundings were very peaceful with direct access to the river in your back yard, I highly recommend this property and host. I hope to stay here again in the future. Heather is a most generous, genuine and lovely woman, and an absolute pleasure to meet.

Sawtell Beach Hideaway
What a wonderful home away from home. And couldn't ask for a better location! Walked everywhere, kids played with the provided boogie boards, and watched the sunrise over Sawty Beach every morning from the private trail out the back gate. Really appreciated the outdoor shower (with hot and cold water!) and the air con on those sticky humid days (although they don't stay on overnight since they're programmed to turn off after 3hrs). No beach towels are provided, so make sure you pack some or be prepared to buy some. Great stay and will definitely come back for another beach holiday 😎

Misty River Lodge
This was our fourth stay at Misty River Lodge and won’t be our last. My family, including our little Jack Russell Terrier, loves Helen and Craig’s place. I especially love seeing how the gardens have evolved. We enjoy visiting the beaches up and down the coast — Scotts Head is a favourite — and we love to find new places to eat. Coffs Harbour is only a 45 minute drive north and South West Rocks is just 30 minutes south, so it’s a really central location and close to the highway but so quiet and peaceful. The bird song is relaxing and if you’re an early riser, you might even see the local swamp wallaby down near the creek. We were treated to fresh quail eggs, deliciously sweet tomatoes and tasty vegetables from the garden. As Helen said when we arrived… “Welcome home!” … because it does feel like a home away from home.

Panorama - Absolute Beachfront - Scotts Head
Place was great, had everything we needed for a family holiday. Very special sitting on that deck watching the waves roll in. Quick access down to the beach for a surf or a fish. Thanks again.

Pipe Dream - River Frontage with Amazing Views
I stayed here with 7 other mates for a birthday getaway, and this is by FAR one of the best airBNB's we have stayed in. we are a massive fishing, camping & boating group, so the location was perfect! Definetly a lot more quiet than the Gold Coast which was a wonderful change. the place itself had so many things for use! from many seasonings, to cleaning equipment and board games - so well equipped. i highly recommend staying here with a group of mates, or families of ANY age!

BELLINGEN CONVERTED CHURCH (Pet Friendly)
Had an amazing girls weekend at The Church. Words cannot describe how perfect the accommodation was for us. Can’t wait to come back ☺️

River Frontage: Front & Centre!
We enjoyed our week at the beach "shack". The house was comfortable, and I used the day bed on the front verandah every day. We didn't use the deck or BBQ as it was a bit cool. The kitchen made it easy to do our own meals, as the takeaway closes very early and you can only eat at the bowls club so many times (great food though if you like Turkish). We loved the location across from the estuary, close to the shop and walking tracks. Red Rock is a peaceful and beautiful location. The only issue was one bar of cell coverage inside the house, which didn't always provide enough internet to be useful, although it was solved by sitting on the back step - great if you want to disconnect, but I wouldn't plan on doing any real work on a laptop. We'd stay again for sure and can highly recommend it.

Absolute Waterfront House-Private Jetty Sleeps 8
We had a truly lovely time in this quiet and beautiful location. The surroundings were stunning, and it had everything we needed. Given that it was Christmas, it was a very thoughtful gesture from Karen to provide a Christmas tree and festive decorations, as we didn’t have room to bring our own. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials for cooking our meals, plus many thoughtful touches that made us feel completely at home.
