About this property
Absolute waterfront beach house with massive deck - family and dog friendly
Dress circle waterfront location in gorgeous Scotts Head with huge deck overlooking Little Beach (which is just metres away).
Fully furnished and fitted out as a 'home' rather than a holiday house. Modern, well supplied kitchen, spacious open design to accommodate 8 persons and well behaved pets on request. Internal and external dining settings for 8 and BBQ on the deck.
There are 4 bedrooms with various configurations. And top quality linen supplied for your stay.
The living area has comfy couches and a day bed with tv and dvd player and many books, games and dvds.
For those that like to stay connected laptops/ipads can be tethered to your phone.
Scotts Head is about half way between Sydney and Brisbane. The new freeway is now complete from Sydney to Scotts takes about 5 hours. However, there are many great places to stop and explore on the way.
Scotts Head is close to picturesque countryside with places like Bellingen an easy day trip away.
Shopping is easy and there is a local butcher, baker and fishmonger in Scotts Head itself as well as a supermarket (open 7 days), bottleshop, cafes and bowling club. For a more extensive range Macksville is only 15 minutes or so drive away with a Woolworths open 7 days from 7am to 10pm.
We have a compendium with pamphlets of many of the local attractions.

About the host
Hosted by Christine Newman
We live in Sydney and have 4 children - 3 of whom have now finished school. We have been going up to Scotts Head for family holidays since 2003 for at least 2 weeks every year. Our dog comes with us and has an absolute ball as there are so many leash free beach areas for long walks.

Why they chose this property
We were fortunate enough to be able to purchase Headlands on one of our holidays when staying next door. We were delighted to be able to lock in the tradition of coming to the same place every year (having rented a number of different properties in Scotts Head over the years).
In particular, Headlands' location being absolute waterfront with a huge deck with a 200 degree ocean view is special. The closeness to Little Beach, a beach which one can often have to oneself, is a big plus. However, it is also close to Main Beach which is perfect for littlies (and where we went when our kids were small). Main Beach is patrolled during the summer.
What makes this property unique
Scotts Head is a place to recharge the batteries and Headlands is the perfect house to do this. It has extensive water views (and if you are there at the right time you can catch the whales migrating and/or dolphins cavorting).
The house is ocean facing with the deck living/eating space and 2 of the bedrooms all looking out over the ocean. The kitchen is very well equipped and we find that we rarely go out for dinner because we love to cook at Headlands and can source great local produce.
