Beautiful spot

Our first visit to Scott’s Head and its small but lovely village near ocean Love seeing huge waves and very quiet bay close to each other. The house we rented out was very very good and serve the purpose for large families with children even very safe for toddlers I love the house the most It’s close to Nambucca Head only half an hour drive Overall great destination and lovely place

Spacious family stay

We had a very good time. The apartment is spacious, enough for eating, living and working. And the kitchen es very well equipped for family needs. The stroll to the beaches is easy and no problem for a 4-year old. Thank you

Relaxing at Scotts Head, beautiful home and garden

The home is surrounded by a tropical garden that creates a secluded, private retreat. Everything you need for a relaxing break and Scotts Head is a beautiful town, most amazing beach.

Leafy retreat near the beach

We loved this place. Simply furnished. Light airy accommodation surrounded by foliage. You feel like you are in your own little world. Love the balcony overlooking the garden. Tall ceilings with lots of natural light. Highly recommended.

Wonderful private home

House was very functional. We had 2 couples stay . Having the 2nd toilet and even the outside hot shower, help to make the stay more comfortable. Both rooms were on opposite side of the house Private back deck overlooking beautiful palms made the stay special for relaxing!

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication

Overall the property met our needs.

It does appear that the cleaning was cursory. We found used item both under beds and under the lounge. I burnt my foot on the floor light in the passage behind the lounge when it was being used as a night light. I can't see any other reason for it being there. The bathrooms and kitchen were all clean. There were a few useful items left behind in the kitchen. Again I guess from previous guests. There was no coffee at all. yet there were other odd items. I have stayed at a number of this type of accommodation in the past this rates somewhere in the low middle rating compared to where I have stayed in the past.

Salt on the coast

Salt is a well designed and functional home to rent in Scott’s Head that is comfortable and spacious. It has a great deck and beautiful manicured gardens that make this a relaxing and restful stay whilst on the coast. Short walk to beaches and shops. 3 greet sized bedrooms and the bathroom is big as well. A great place to stay.
