Clean tidy comfortable accomodation walking distance to surf, pool, shops, bowling club, surfclub swimming pool. had a great stay.
It was most comfortable and a great spot to enjoy the beach. There is an ocean pool and plenty of great walking available. Definitely recommend both the residence and the area.
Only complaint was no hair dryer.
The property is exquisite. It is beautifully presented and perfectly positioned for incredible views. We’ve stayed here before and will definitely stay again. Nothing negative about this property.

The perfect location to enjoy the beach, local walks and relax. The property was exactly as described, clean and had great amenities. The three local clubs provided some great meals in a relaxed atmosphere and the local Food Works had a fantastic selection of fresh food.
Idyllic location and impeccable views. Apartment was pristine and beautifully presented. Cleaning was above and beyond.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Clean, comfortable and well positioned to enjoy the beautiful beaches, ocean pool, bowls club and SLSC (Sunday afternoons only). Be aware that there are none of the standard food / beverage items such as tea bags or salt & pepper. The units on the other side of the building would have an even better view!
The stay and location was excellent! Only minor improve is allow the windows in the apartment to be opened when adults only are staying.We appreciate the need to ensure child safety measures and this request may not be legally possible :) Thank you.

Headlands is a comfortable, stylish apartment for 2 in a great location. It is spotlessly clean, and well maintained.
Loved the location and the unit was beautifully decorated. Very comfortable with all the amenities. We enjoyed our stay.
Did not like the 9am checkout time and the tone of the communication regarding check in and out times. The management agent could be improved.

Hi Rachel
Thank you for your review. We are glad you loved the property and enjoyed your stay.
I understand that 9 am is an early check out, though we are flexible with this where ever possible. Unfortunately if there is a booking coming in the same day you vacate we can't allow a later check out.

This is the 5th time we have stayed at Headlands. The reason why we keep returning is that the location is perfect, the unit very comfortable, clean and sunny and Blackhead Beach is right on your doorstep. Access is straightforward and communications with the managing agent are always excellent.

Reviewer Comments:
The property was in excellent condition, very well appointed and clean. The only concern for us was there were two flights of stairs. I believe I was told there would only be one flight of stairs. I would definitely recommend this property.
All fine with the property, did note that the TV remote was damaged but still worked, we also couldn’t work out how to use the cook top so perhaps some instructions (wasn’t an issue for us as we planned to eat out). There was an iron but we could not locate the ironing board - again not an issue for us.

Great spot to stay, very clean. Close to beach. Virtually no parking though. We had to park down near the beach. Could not use the garage, too hard to get in and out of. Stairs are not good for older visitors. Also would have been good to know where bins were and cloths line instead of hunting them down.

Reviewer Comments:
The apartment is right across the road from the beach, the pool and the surf club. Key was in a key locker, so we had absolutely no contact with the agent (but no real need to!). It is well fitted out and was clean when we arrived. We've stayed here before and knew there was no coffee-maker or cafetier so we brought our own. The airconditioner (loungeroom) and ceiling fans (in every room) were life-savers in the hot humid weather we had.

We found the accommodation to be just as you see it online. A lovely bright and well-appointed apartment.
My husband and I had my parents with us, who are in their mid 70s. I failed to realise or ask about access to the apartment before booking and arriving. The apartment is on the 2nd floor with 4 flights of stairs to navigate. Mum has some mobility issues, and the stairs were a challenge. Also, the lounge is quite low, which makes getting in and out of difficult. Please take this into account when considering this location.
The position was ideal for the special occasion we attended at the surf club.
All in all, though, lovely accommodation.

Headlands was just perfect for our 9 day break. The unit was immaculate, clean, comfortable, everything you need is right there. Great walking on the beach, walking distance to the Bowling Club or Tavern for meals. The staff at Mid Coast Holiday Accommodation Centre are very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back.

It was a lovely little unit, perfect for a couple, close to everything and had all we needed.Our only comments would be we did find the extra blankets and pillows a bit dusty, and we did struggle with the convection hot plates, we do not have any experience with them and a manual would have made life easier.Overall we loved the place and the property management were very friendly and helpful.
