THE AREA
Hat Head National Park on the mid-north coast of NSW near South West Rocks is a natural paradise. Explore the lighthouse, camp by the beach and go fishing and swimming. Hat Head National Park, near Kempsey, is a place of exceptional beauty. The beaches, sand dunes, rainforest and wetlands offer an ideal backdrop for bushwalking, camping or a quiet picnic.

There are lots of walking tracks to choose from, excellent fishing and whale watching. Birdwatchers can look for black swans and spoonbills in the park’s wetlands, hawks and eagles soaring above beach cliffs and shorebirds like curlews and plovers around the beach.

Such a lovely warm, spacious, modern, spotlessly clean home. Comfy beds and convenient, lovely linen hire. Loved the little extras that made it easy for us like detergent, dishwashing capsules, washing detergent, soap, cooking oil, salt and pepper, cling wrap (etc) and especially the bottle of bubbles and chocolate when we arrived.Hat Head is such a lovely quiet town, and you can walk everywhere from this location including the beach, headland, local cafe, bowls club and general store. We loved Sandy Bottoms and our stay. Highly recommend.
