"Good location and nice hotel. Staff was a bit busy as it was school holidays I guess and the hotel was full according to the front desk. The room had the things we needed and shops were nearby for a good walk. It was also close to the water for nice views. Parking was available but would like to see a bit cheaper pricing."

"We had a very good and straightforward overnight stay while travelling to Sydney with our family. We arrived around midnight, but arranged check-in by phone beforehand, and our key card was left securely in a lockbox at the front of the property. The process was simple and convenient. Our room was on level two, with a balcony facing the street and a busy roundabout. The view was nothing special, but this did not bother us given that we arrived late and left early the following morning. Checking out was equally easy, as we left the key card in the designated box. The secure parking was easy to access, and we had no difficulty finding a space. The location was convenient, and the price was reasonable. Overall, it was an easy and pleasant experience for a short overnight stay. Five out of five."

"My husband and I love Crescent Head and the location of the caravan park and have stayed there many times.I booked a Lakeside cabin with queen bed and double bed for two nights but our cabin had adouble bed and triple bunks. We accepted the booking because it was only two nights and we were meeting up with friends but because we are older and I have mobility issues we did not sleep well and the shower had no pressure and barely warm. Time for an upgrade."

When is the best time to go to Crescent Head?
The best time to visit Crescent Head is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.During these months, you'll experience comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 26°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like surfing, swimming, and exploring the surrounding national parks. The ocean remains warm enough for a dip, and the chances of rain are generally lower than in the summer months. This period offers a relaxed atmosphere without the peak season rush, allowing for a more serene experience.For those looking to enjoy the famous surf break, the autumn months often bring consistent swells and favourable wind conditions, particularly for longboarding, which Crescent Head is renowned for. The less crowded beaches and point break mean more waves for everyone.If you're planning a family holiday, late spring is also an excellent option. The water is warming up, and the days are getting longer, providing ample opportunity for beach days and exploring the area's natural beauty, such as the Crescent Head Lookout and the scenic coastal walks.
