What a wonderful apartment. It was spacious, clean and the balcony added relaxation. The apartment is about 15 mins drive from town but close to a wonderful beach track that goes into town (via a wonderful coffee bar on the beach) or the lighthouse. I couldn’t believe how quiet the beaches were…..just perfect Samantha was the best ever host, she was so generous with the treats and bread and milk that she left us and was great to deal with. She even went out of her way to buy us extra strong coffee!! We really enjoyed our stay and would def recommend

We had a flying visit to Crescent Head with the family and Tim and Wendy’s place was perfect. Located two minutes from anywhere in Cressie. Views were breathtaking in the morning, as we arrived late at night we didn’t notice/ see. Thank you for making our weekend so enjoyable and relaxing.
