Close to the beach and very quiet with a great view from the unit. The only minor issue was it was a bit tricky with the stairs and finding the unit but we found it in the end. May be for future have a spare remote battery as the battery played up and our car got locked in the garage. We managed to open the remote and jiggle the battery and it worked. We had a lovely stat though. A really lovely quiet location. Very comfortable and a lady was able to help us from the unit block when we accidentally locked ourselves out.

Find us

Red Head is a quiet coastal village, best explored by car for flexibility, especially with kids or beach gear. However, public buses are available if you’re planning day trips or visits to nearby towns. Regional bus services (Route 309) run along Diamond Beach and Black Head, connecting to Taree and Forster on weekdays. You can catch it near Diamond Dr at the Diamond Beach shops. Rome2Rio +1 The 309 bus links you with Taree Central and Forster (via Black Head & Diamond Beach), making it possible to explore those towns without a car — though schedules are limited, so check current timetables before travelling. Tips for families: A car is highly recommended for easy access to beaches, cafés, shops, and attractions up and down the coast. The beach near the apartment is within walking distance — a pleasant stroll downhill (and uphill on the way back). If using the bus, plan around the weekday schedule and bring snacks/toys for little ones on longer stretches.
