Holiday House · Crescent Head, NSW
The Deck.
Quiet comforts, not the noisy kind.
Three-bedroom house above the point. Sleeps six. Dog welcome. Seven minutes downhill to the beach.
From $250 / nightBook direct. Same house. Better price.
The View
The Deck is named
for a reason.
The deck wraps the house. Look east toward Hat Head and the Pacific stretches to the horizon. A longboard wave you can hear from bed. Look west and the hinterland softens into bushland, with kangaroos visiting at dusk.
Breakfast as the sun comes up. Dinner as it sets. Most guests don't leave for the first day.
Why The Deck
Designed for slow weeks.
Starlink, 200mbps
Work from the deck. Stream anything.
Wood fireplace
Firewood and kindling supplied. First fire pre-laid in winter.
Dog friendly
Secure upper deck. Toys, bowls, and a clearing 50m down the road.
7 min to the point
Downhill walk to one of Australia's great longboard waves.
Two horizons
Ocean east. Hinterland west. Kangaroos at dusk.
Nespresso + 900mm cooktop
Pods provided. Brand-new gas + electric kitchen.
A Perfect Weekend
What a couple of days here
actually looks like.
- Friday 4pm
Arrive
Drop the bags. Pour a wine. The deck does the rest.
4pm
- Saturday 6am
Dawn patrol
Walk seven minutes down the hill to the point. The wave is mellow, long, and forgiving.
6am
- Saturday 9am
Barnett's
The best bakery on the Mid North Coast. Get a pie. Don't argue.
9am
- Saturday 5pm
Sundowner
Fire on the deck. Hat Head turning gold. This is the bit you'll remember.
5pm
- Sunday 8am
Killick Creek
Cross the bridge. Swim. Fish. Take the dog. The estuary is glass at low tide.
8am
- Sunday 11am
Country club
Walk up to the headland. Six holes of golf (Australia's only accredited six-hole course), a roll on the bowls green, or just a cold one looking over the bay.
11am
- Sunday 1pm
Lunch at Sea Sea
Dog under the table, fish tacos, a midday glass of something. The kind of long lunch you put off for too long.
1pm
Your Hosts
Meet Trent & Liss.
The Deck is run by Trent and Liss, the couple behind the doors. They're the people who text back when you need a last-minute restaurant rec, the WiFi password, or a heads-up on the swell. They live less than an hour from the property and are reachable any time.
Honest answers, early check-ins where possible, local recommendations that aren't on Google. Three hundred-plus guests can vouch for it.

“Beautiful views, peaceful space. We loved how private it felt, especially the greenery out all the back windows from the shady backyard. The beds were extremely comfy and it was closer and easier to walk to the beach and town than we were expecting. Very relaxed, comfortable stay.”

The Location
One of the great longboard breaks on the east coast.
Seven minutes on foot to the point. A surf town that hasn't tried too hard, which is exactly why people keep coming back.
Explore Crescent HeadAbout this stay
The deck is the room.
The view does the rest.
Two horizons. Ocean east, hinterland west. A long wave you can hear from bed. A bakery seven minutes downhill. A fireplace for cold nights, an outdoor shower for sandy ones. Most guests don't get in the car the whole stay. Most say it felt like home.
A three-bedroom holiday house in Crescent Head, NSW
The Deck sleeps six across three bedrooms. Two queens, and a third with two singles. It sits above the point at 16 Noongah Terrace, a seven-minute walk to the beach, pub, and country club. Of the holiday houses in Crescent Head, few sit this close to the point — and most guests don't get back in the car for the entire stay.
Pet-friendly accommodation in Crescent Head
Dogs are warmly welcome. The upper deck is the secure area. The wider property isn't fully fenced. We keep toys, water bowls and poo bags on the deck. There's a clearing 50 metres down the road for a run, and an outdoor shower downstairs for sandy paws. More on our pet-friendly stay →
Work from the deck
Starlink at 200mbps. Take the meeting from the deck. Samsung Frame TV runs Netflix. Nespresso keeps things civil before 8am. Long stays welcome.
Where to stay for surfing Crescent Head
The point at Crescent Head is a National Surfing Reserve and home to one of the longest right-hand longboard point breaks in Australia, peeling all the way to Killick Creek. The Deck is a surf house seven minutes' walk from the line-up. Best swell window is May through August, and the Malibu Classic longboard contest runs each year.
A romantic getaway for couples
It's also an ocean-view holiday house that suits couples beautifully — two queen bedrooms, a wraparound deck for sundowners, a wood fireplace for cold nights, and a horizon in two directions. Plenty of guests come as a couples retreat and barely leave the deck. Sleeps six if you bring friends.
