The space
The house above the point.
Three bedrooms, sleeps six, a deck that wraps the whole house.
The story
A family home, opened up when we’re not in it.
We bought The Deck in 2025. The bones were good; the view was the reason. We’ve kept what makes it feel like a real home and refreshed what wears out: new carpet through the bedrooms, a brand-new 900mm cooktop, a day bed that gets more use than it should.
Liss looks after the linen and the pantry. Trent answers the messages and stocks the firewood in winter. We use the place ourselves a few times a year.

Dogs
A dog-friendly home: toy basket, bowls and poo bags on the deck. The upper deck is the secure area (the property isn’t fully fenced), and there’s a clearing 50m down the road for a run.
The layout
How the house actually works.
The deck is the living room
It wraps the house, sea on one side and hinterland on the other, so there’s sun and shade at every hour. Most guests eat, read and watch the weather roll in out here. Inside is where you sleep.
Downstairs does the dirty work
The outdoor shower, the garage and the boards live downstairs, so sandy kids, wet wetsuits and a salty dog get rinsed before they come up. Please keep dogs off the carpeted bedrooms.
Three bedrooms, two configurations
Two queens and a room with two singles: two couples plus kids, one family, or a surf crew of six. Couples often book it for two and use the second queen as a wardrobe.
The kitchen is a real one
A 900mm cooktop, a full-size fridge, a dishwasher and a stocked pantry. It matters here: Crescent Head has about a dozen places worth eating, and you won’t want all of them in one week.
What it isn’t.
We’d rather you knew before you booked than after you arrived.
- A beach house, not a hotel and not an office. No desk, no lift.
- The walk back up from the beach is a hill.
- Not fully fenced. The upper deck is the secure spot for a dog.
Before you book
Questions about the house.
How far is the house from the beach?
Seven minutes’ walk downhill to the beach and the point. Worth knowing that the walk home is uphill. It’s a short climb, but it’s a climb, and it matters if anyone in your group finds hills hard.
How many people does it sleep?
Six across three bedrooms — two queens and a third with two single beds. There’s one bathroom, which is worth knowing if all six of you want to be out the door at the same time. Extra guests beyond six are by arrangement at $20 per person per night.
Is there a cot or high chair?
No. We don’t keep baby gear at the house, so if you’re travelling with a little one you’ll need to bring or hire a cot and high chair.
Is the property fenced for dogs?
Not fully. The upper deck is the secure area: enclosed, so you can leave a dog out there safely. The yard is open, so dogs need supervision or a lead down there.
What’s the internet like?
Starlink, around 200mbps, which is considerably better than most of the town gets. It holds up for streaming and video calls. There’s no desk or office setup, though. This is a beach house, not a workspace.
Is there parking for a boat or trailer?
There’s a double garage, a driveway and free street parking, so there’s room for a trailer or a boat. The garage is also where the boards and beach gear live.
What time is check-in and check-out?
Check-in from 2pm, check-out by 10am. Late check-out is often available if the calendar allows. Just ask, and we usually answer within the hour.
Is the fireplace usable year-round?
Yes, and firewood and kindling are supplied. In the colder months we pre-lay the first fire so you only need a match. There’s air-conditioning and pedestal fans for the summer end of the year.
