About the host

Hosted by Claire Thompson

Host profile image
Welcome to Tanderra – meaning “a place to rest”. Claire and Matt, the owners, enjoy this home as their family beachside escape from busy life on the farm and running a business. We are delighted to share it with you and hope you find the same sense of calm and relaxation.

Why they chose this property

After living on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales for the past 15 years, we were always searching for “that place” that offered a sense of calm and restfulness to balance our busy lives. When we discovered Tanderra in beautiful Camden Head, we knew we had found it. We love the quiet, relaxed feel of the area and its close proximity to the beach, along with the opportunity to explore nature walks, fishing spots and boating on the waterways nearby. It’s a place where you can slow down, breathe in the sea air and truly switch off, and we hope you feel that same sense of calm as you arrive and enjoy your stay.
