The Willows Beach House - 12 Schafer Street

Red Rock is a quiet coastal hide-away situated 35km north of Coffs Harbour in NSW. "The Willows" beach house backs onto a vegetated sand dune with a path leading straight onto the back beach. It's just walking distance from the Red Rock Estuary, bowls club and caravan park kiosk.

If you are after a perfect relaxing holiday destination, it is great for quiet walks, fishing, picnic/BBQs, bird watching, boating, swimming in the surf or floating down the river.

The house can easily cater for two families with its three bedrooms (2 x Queen bedrooms plus 1 x bedroom containing 2 bunks - double bed bottoms and single bed tops). There is an open plan lounge, kitchen, dining room leading out onto a back veranda. Enjoy breakfast on the large deck or sit back and enjoy the outlook with a cold drink.
