Vacation rentals in Kempsey Shire

We had such a great stay in Crescent Head. The house was peaceful, private and dog-friendly, with a cute verandah perfect for slow mornings. Everything was simple, comfy and thoughtfully set up—with great water pressure and a super cosy bed. The location is ideal. We walked to the point break each morning for coffee and surf watching, hiked Nobby Head for dramatic views, and took our dog for a long run on Killick Beach. The back beach is also stunning, with a scenic headland walk down to a quiet, dog-friendly shore. Sea Seas (the local hotel) is a standout spot—great coffee and a beautiful mid-century Balinese surf vibe. We also loved browsing at Mr Vintage and chatting with friendly locals. This stay was easy, relaxing and full of character. We left feeling refreshed and inspired—already dreaming about our next trip back.

This is a perfect place to stay for a couple of nights. Spotlessly clean, fabulous views, hassle free instructions for entry and exit. Would definitely book again.

What a wonderful place to stay. Lee and Barry put a lot of effort into it. Everything was there, down to the smallest detail, and it was very comfortable and cozy. We didn't lack anything. We recommend this place to anyone seeking peace and relaxation. Thanks Lee and Barry

We had an extremely comfortable and memorable stay at AJ’s property. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home away from home—everything we needed was right at our fingertips. The space was private, peaceful, and beautifully surrounded by nature, offering the perfect escape from the hustle of daily life. Although it rained for two days straight and the front lawn got a bit soggy and muddy (which meant our puppy needed a few extra baths), that's just part of the charm of being close to nature—it always keeps you on your toes! It didn't dampen our spirits one bit. Taking AJ’s recommendation, we visited the Buffalo Farm Cafe and were so glad we did—their wildfire pizza was absolutely delicious, and we ended up having a great time chatting and laughing with some genuinely lovely people. Overall, AJ’s place gave us exactly what we were looking for: relaxation, comfort, and a little adventure. We’ll definitely be back!

Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Crescent Head. Josie & Joel are really nice people, and easy to communicate with and quick to respond when messaging. The check in was really easy and they were really flexible with the check in and check out times which was handy. The photos don't do this place justice, beautiful view of the ocean and well-located, walking distance to town. The place was spotless and has everything you need. Thanks again Josie and Joel, we'll definitely be back! :)

Our time at Ann's Coastal Chalet was a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life! The cozy farmhouse was well equipped with books and toys as well as the necessary amenities. We loved waking up to the sounds of the farm animals. The hostess, Ann, was incredibly welcoming and made sure my kids had a wonderful hands-on experience with feeding the chickens, collecting fresh eggs, and feeding the two beautiful horses and ducks. We highly recommend this farm stay to anyone seeking a tranquil and refreshing getaway.

We stayed here for the weekend and it was the perfect spot to enjoy both staying in and walking to the town centre. Everything was exactly as per the description and we’ll definitely be booking again! Thank you Jennie

We had a very relaxing stay. Beautiful view. The kitchen was well stocked with all the cutlery and appliances you could need. The pool was lovely, a bit chilly as it is not heated but it was very refreshing after the walk back up the hill. Would be amazing in summer. It would also be a cosy choice for the cooler months due to the wood burner.

We had a lovely, peaceful stay in the country at Nerida’s place. Very comfortable accommodation and the surroundings are just beautiful. Loved the wallabies and their joeys. We felt very welcomed and relaxed.
