Beach Break – Classic Coastal Comfort Just Steps from the Beach
Step into the relaxed charm of Beach Break, a clean, well-kept older beach home that brings back the classic feel of seaside holidays, with all the comforts of today. Tucked into a prime location on popular Bay Street, this inviting coastal retreat is perfect for families and friends looking to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy everything the coast has to offer.
This lovingly maintained home blends nostalgic beach house vibes with practical convenience. Just a short stroll down scenic dune paths puts you right on the sand, while the general store, local club, and nearby campground are all within easy walking distance—making your holiday effortlessly simple.
With four generous bedrooms, Beach Break comfortably sleeps up to nine guests, making it ideal for large families or two groups traveling together. The home is equipped with an air-conditioned, open-plan kitchen and dining space, plus a separate lounge room for cozy movie nights or quiet reading. A second casual living area near the kitchen gives kids their own space to play, unwind, or watch a movie after a beach day.
Enjoy preparing meals in the fully equipped kitchen, then gather around the dining table to share food and stories. And after a long day of sun and surf, sink into the freestanding bathtub for a soothing soak.
Outdoors, there’s a spacious, secure backyard where kids can run and play freely. Outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach. The shaded patio is perfect for evening drinks or lazy afternoon lounging in the sea breeze. There’s ample off-street parking for cars or boats, plus bonus storage at the back of the shed for beach gear, bikes, and surfboards.
A second toilet near the laundry adds extra convenience for group stays.
Whether you’re chasing waves, exploring the coast, or simply soaking up the slower pace, Beach Break is your comfortable, character-filled home away from home by the sea.

Thank you for your feedback. We will certainly review this and consider any necessary actions. We hope you had a wonderful time in Hat Head and the surrounding areas.
A neat house in a great location close to the beach and club with a handy 4 bedrooms. The house was clean although some of the furniture could use updating. Outside there is a nice outdoor area but some things are looking a little tired and in need of some basic maintenance, like the shrub at front trimmed, roof and gutters not good and a leaking back tap.

My family and my husbands family absolutely love hat head and have been going there as a holiday spot for 30+ years. When we decided to honeymoon here too not only was Beach Break the obvious and best choice (where we usually stay with our kid and family) but it was in immaculate condition as always. We had everything we needed and more. and just accross the road from the beach ;) you dont get better than that! Thanks Beach Break! we will be back with the kiddies next year!

Reviewer Comments:
The house had very minimal furniture in the bedrooms. The kitchen utensils are very old and past their use by date. The BBQ was filthy and probably should be thrown away. The light in the BBQ area did not work. Cleanliness was OK apart from the bait prawns found in the freezer. The owner needs to go and check the property and think about updating a few things.

Awful
The location and the off street parking was great, but that is where it ended.
The property needs a good clean aswell as a spring clean. There was black mould in the bedroom and mould inside and on top of the fridge. The property sleeps 8 and had 3 winglasses- which were dirty. The fry pans, kitchen utensils were so old and outdated I would not have used any of them. Cupboards jam packed with garbage bags filled with items, torn bed valances and very old, saggy bed mattresses.
We had to change accommodation same day as check in as I felt so uncomfortable bringing my small children in to this house.
With a little furniture update and a deep clean of this property, as well as a good property cleaner, this house could be great!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location

Location and size of property was perfect for five adults.
Cleanliness was an issue. The bbq was FILTHY, we attempted to clean it but the grease build up was so bad that the gas jets we clogged. The smell was horrendous. Great bbq area, with cover and seating but unfortunately we cooked our bbq in the kitchen and ate inside. Plenty of cupboard space in kitchen with excessive pots and pans but nowhere to store condiments etc. A pantry would be good. The loungeroom floor was dirty and dusty especially under seating. That aside, we enjoyed our stay in Hat Head, we always do. Would we go back to this property? Probably not.
