Good to know
Ocean Views, Pool & Coastal Calm – Red Head Retreat Wake up to breathtaking ocean views in this newly prepared apartment, perfectly located in beautiful Red Head, nestled between Diamond Beach and Black Head on NSW’s stunning Mid-North Coast. Just a 3-hour drive from Sydney, this modern and comfortable retreat is all about relaxation. We’ve personally stayed here to make sure everything is in great condition and ready for guests to enjoy. You’ll have secure onsite parking for one vehicle in a lock-up garage, with easy access via lift or stairs. The pool is right out front and visible from the balcony—perfect for a refreshing dip or simply soaking up the laid-back coastal vibe. The beach is an easy walk away, making it simple to enjoy the sand and surf. Just keep in mind the walk back is uphill—great for working off those beach days and best enjoyed at a relaxed pace. Start your mornings on the front balcony with a coffee in hand, watching the sun rise over the ocean. On a clear day, the views are simply unforgettable.

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.
