About Black Head

Black Head Beach is a beautiful, yet little-known, part of Australia’s eastern coastline, only 3+ hrs drive north of Sydney. A perfect weekend getaway or a longer holiday break, just off the Pacific Highway between Forster and Taree.

Black Head Beach is a safe swimming beach, patrolled by surf lifesavers in summer, and features a wonderful ocean lap pool.

Nearby is Nine Mile Beach, also known as Back Beach, which is undeveloped and expansive, and features amazingly beautiful forest and beach walks .

Black Head Beach/Halliday’s Point features a well-stocked supermarket which sells fruit and vegetables, a butcher with fresh local fish and fresh eggs, and bottle shops.

What is supplied and what to take
1. The kitchen is well equipped and there are basic food items in sealed containers.
2. All linen is supplied and beds are made up for you.

Amazing beach getaway

Great little beach cottage that was perfect for our one week stay for our family of five (2 adults, 3 children). Cottage was clean, well presented and had everything we needed in the kitchen and washing machine. We loved it so much we have booked again. Highly recommend 🙂

Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay at Hidden Jewel. Everything was spotless and fresh. A very airy home with sunshine for most of the day on the balcony overlooking Black Head beach. Perfect location to access the beaches in the area by foot and in walking distance to shops and cafes. We can’t wait to come back! Our dog had a great time too and crashed out on the balcony after all his beach runs. Wendy was wonderful to deal with and we have no hesitation recommending Hidden Jewel to anyone looking to stay in the area

Stunning Cottage

Thank you so much - we loved that we had a comfy place to crash after a very long day yesterday. We left Sydney at 4am so appreciate the early checkin very much. The cottage is stunnning and so close to the beach. Will definitely consider your property next time we return to Forster.

I feel very fortunate to have this cottage and to be able to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

This beach cottage was built by my father in 1960 and has remained in the family ever since. It is our home away from home and we love to share it with people who value time by the ocean in simple yet aesthetically pleasing and very welcoming surroundings.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views, very warm and welcoming environment. You can feel that this cottage has been loved for generations.
