Barney Views Cottage
We had the most restful few days at Tammy's cottage - it's perfect and its history, fascinating - and the view, wow!! Was blissful to watch dusk make its way across the mountains from the verandah or one of the perfectly placed picture windows inside. We also loved wandering through the gardens and discovering all its hidden treasures. We saw kangaroos, cows and lots of birds but our favourite were the Guinea fowl - what characters! Tammy is a responsive host and we appreciated the little welcome pack of chocolates, biscuits and everything we needed for a hot chocolate. Barney Views is the perfect place to unwind and have a little R & R, and we highly recommend! Will definitely be back.

Studio on Hill Street
Serene and super confortable stay with amazing views. I find the studio quite luxurious - the bathroom and kitchen in particular. I'm still in awe of the quick heating stove! Host--Tahnee and her parents--has been extremely helpful in furnishing me with kitchen supplies (and more) since, being on carnivore diet, I cook everyday at home. Going to Ballina is a 30 minutes scenic walk, with beaches and the memorial pool on the way. I'm extremely looking forward to return next week for 2 more months of stay. Really wish I lived in Ballina (rather than Canada) renting this place!

Salty Cabin - Byron Hinterland
The beautiful natural scenery, the countless sounds of different birds, the breathtaking Milky Way stretching across the sky behind the clouds, and the adorable dog Malibu — every moment here was joyful and filled with happiness. This place was truly special, and we are so grateful for the experience.

A Little Piece of Serenity in Evans Head
What an amazing stay! Despite the big swell, we had a fantastic time soaking in the beauty of this stunning location. The thoughtful amenities and sweet welcome touches made us feel right at home. Communication was always fast and helpful whenever we had a question. The little Easter eggs were also such a fun and unexpected surprise! Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a clean, peaceful, and perfectly located getaway, whether you're here to fish, surf, swim or simply relax.

Cabin and pavilion in large country garden
Fantastic spot to explore region from, accomodation is exactly as shown in photos, clean, good size for 2, lovely private gardens. We found easy to access Lismore and Coastal towns. Alison goes beyond with some lovely treats in kitchen and well stocked fridge. Good wifi and bathroom good, great shower😂 We explored Lismore and rode rail trails, also local towns easy to travel between and to get to. Eltham pub a great atmosphere. We will be staying again and looking forward to Alison hospitality.

Stargazer dome by the beach
A wonderful time staying at the Stargazer Dome. Nice and peaceful, very clean and nicely presented. A great experience that I'd happily recommend.

Hidden Gunya Getaway - Private Offgrid Tiny Home
We had such an amazing time staying in the tiny home. It was really relaxing with everything you need. The outdoor bath is a big highlight as you stargaze and catch the satellites going by. Emily is a really great host and super accomodating. A very peaceful location with lots of great walks nearby! Highly recommend staying here! Can’t wait to come back.

Hilltop Haven Darlington
what an absolutely stunning little gem! we spent the weekend for my birthday and it was just the most perfect, idyllic getaway. Perfectly sized with great amenities, we totally switched off and enjoyed the cabin, shared with some beautiful local wildlife. highly recommend!

Your guide to Evans Head
Introduction
Sand, salt water, sunshine, seafood: Evans Head is a coastal tonic for the soul. Life here revolves around the water, whether the Pacific Ocean surf, the calm river estuary that splices the township, or the freshwater lagoons and wetlands, home to hundreds of species of birds that characterize the national parkland of the surrounding Richmond Valley. This part of northern coastal New South Wales also played a fascinating, and unlikely, part in World War II, as the site of one of the country’s largest training bases for the Royal Australian Air Force. Not that you’d know it today. Like much of the rainforest-clad region, locals here live a languid, free-spirited lifestyle.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Evans Head
As most activities in Evans Head revolve around the water, it’s no surprise peak season is the warmer months. Summer (December through February) and fall (March through May) see daytime temperatures at their highest, between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This time of year is also the wettest, however, so be prepared for a few showers.
Water temperatures range from 78 degrees in summer to 72 in winter, which means you can swim here year-round. And cooler winter months (June through August) are also ideal for hikers, with daytime temperatures around 65 degrees and rainfall at annual lows. Regardless of the season, bring SPF 50+ sunscreen, a hat, flip-flops, and your swimsuit, plus good walking shoes if you’re planning on exploring the rainforest.
Top things to do in Evans Head
Beaches
With a surf beach patrolled by the Surf Life Saving Club (Main Beach), fishing favorite Airforce Beach, and long river beach Shark Bay, it’s natural that swimming, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking opportunities abound. The calm waters of the estuary are ideal for families, while waves galore invite board-riders along Pacific Ocean beaches.
National Parks
Stretching from Evans Head northward is Broadwater National Park, its coastal hiking trails popular among birdwatchers, picnickers, and those on the lookout for migrating humpback whales (May through November). To the south is Bundjalung National Park, a beguiling union of coastal heathland, powdery dunes, and deserted beaches. Whether you’re walking, fishing, or mountain biking, keep watch for eastern grey kangaroos, swamp wallabies, and bower birds, among the 140 species of animals that live here.
Evans Head Heritage Aviation Museum
History buffs will want to linger at this fascinating museum, offering insights into Australia’s role in WWII. Thousands of members of the Royal Australian Air Force were trained here, and their stories are remembered today through photographs, memorials, and a lot of gear, including military and civilian aircraft and artifacts collected from across Australia.
