Sunny Corner Holiday Home
This was our second time staying here & we love it ! Great size house, and the fence is a great new addition to keep the kids in ! Lots of space inside & outside for the kids to play. Easy stroll to the shops. We will definitely book again!

Rippa's Rest
Fantastic Place. Loved absolutely everything. Huge bonus that we could have our beloved doggo with us. The pool and Tennis court were well used by us as was the back verandah where we ate, played games and just chilled. Will definitely be booking again in the future.

The Shack
We had an amazing stay. The property is absolutely beautiful and a great place to get away to relax. Completely surrounded by nature and perfect spot for a quiet beach but not too far from Crescent Head town. Highly recommend!

LingaLonga beach and bush getaway
was a great weekend away - the place was immaculate and the Host's put alot of thought and care went into the place. The view was amazing 🙌🙌 would recommend this place to friends and family 🙌😊

The Skyline - NEW!
Beautiful home and loved that it was pet friendly. My dog was very comfortable. Views from every window and lots of essentials available, tea, coffee, salt, pepper, washing powder etc.. Host was very open to all requests. Would definately come back again and will recommend to my friends

Beach Views - with Heated Pool!
This house was truly awesome! We stayed for a work trip and it was the most peaceful place to come back to after our long work days. Wish we could have stayed to enjoy it more! The views surrounding the property are unlike most I’ve ever seen. If you’re into cooking, the kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens I’ve ever seen!! Thanks so much Skye, we’d love to stay again!

Little Phoranna
Gorgeous spot that is just as beautiful as it looks in the photos. This is probably one of the best AirBnBs I've stayed in so far. The design of the cabin is cozy and very functional, and the setting is quite, peaceful and relaxing. The hosts provide everything you need to have a wonderful stay - they even built a fire ready to be lit in the fireplace. Unfortunately we only stayed a day. I would definitely come back here and stay longer!

Birdsong on Bay
Great spot practically on the beach! Wasn’t great weather but that’s not Jo’s fault 😁 great place and space. Thanks Jo!

Your guide to Crescent Head
All About Crescent Head
Crescent Head is a pristine beach town located 440 kilometres north of Sydney in the Kempsey Shire of New South Wales — known for being one of the most famous surfing spots in Australia. In 2008, the town’s Killick Beach was named one of Australia’s National Surfing Reserves for its long, slow right-hand break — a world-famous break that attracts surfers from near and far. You will also discover beautiful sandy beaches and lush National Parks for bushwalking and camping. The area is also considered to be a great spot for whale watching.
Just south of Crescent Head is Goolawah National Park and Limeburners Creek National Park. These Parks are home to many significant Aboriginal cultural heritage sites that date back thousands of years. Crescent Head is also known for having a unique golf course overlooking the sea. It only has six holes but makes up for it with stunning views of the ocean and beyond.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Crescent Head
Crescent Head enjoys sunshine almost all year round, but is especially glorious between May and October, when the days are pleasantly warm and the nights are mild, perfect for enjoying beach activities and nature walks. The town also plays host to the annual Crescent Head Malibu Classic in May, the largest amateur longboard competition in the country. Summer is also a great time in Crescent Head for enjoying the beach. Although remember to pack sunscreen and a hat as it can get very hot between December and February. Whenever you decide to visit there is a wide range of Crescent Head accommodations.
Top things to do in Crescent Head
Surfing
Crescent Head is famous for surfing. The right-hand point break that wraps around the headland and into the bay is one of the longest right-hand waves in the world and is perfect for longboarders. If you do not have a board, you can hire one in town. If surfing is not your thing, there are plenty of spots on the beach for swimming, or just sit back and watch the surfers do their thing.
National Park nature walk
Crescent Head is surrounded by 60 kilometres of National Parks, making it a great spot for nature walks. The easy 1.4-kilometre walk through lush coastal rainforests to Big Hill is scenic and full of wildlife spotting opportunities. It also offers prime picnic spots to stop for a bit to eat along the way.
Crescent Head Lookout
Head up to Crescent Head Lookout for panoramic views of the town, and the beaches to the north and south. To get there, walk up the headland via the golf course and you will find a dirt trail that leads around the cliffs to the lookout. The walk takes you past one of the most unique golf courses in the world, with just six holes and stunning views.
