Old style beach house with views of the river joining the ocean

Kitchen, lounge and dining are open plan with lovely view of the park, the estuary and boat ramp. The master bedroom features a queen bed and spacious cabinet with views of the park and river and is joining the living room. We have a queen bed in the second bedroom and 2 single beds in the third. There is a bathroom with a toilet, shower and vanity and a separate toilet and sink.. The covered verandah faces park, boat ramp and estuary. The BBQ area is out the back.(gas bbq has wheels, can be taken to front verandah if preferred)
The yard is fully fenced. Well behaved pets are welcome. Pet owners are asked to clean up after their pets if needed. If you intend to bring a pet please let us know.
Please give us at least 48 hours notice if you intend to stay.

At present the house behind us is being renovated so there can be noise associated with renovating a house during week days.

Red Rock

Red Rock is a lovely quiet village in a very picturesque setting. There are two beaches, the 'Big Beach' with a bit of a surf for the more adventurous or the 'Little Beach' with a pool at low tide for the little ones and lovely shaded spots protected from southerlies to enjoy and relax. The beaches are patrolled at weekends and in school holidays (observe signs at beach)
The estuary is great for kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, swimming.....
If fishing is your passion you can choose from fishing off the rocks at the headland, fishing on the beach, along the broad walk in the river or from a boat in the estuary or the ocean.
Along the river is a park with a children's playground, electric BBQs and tables and a great local store for essentials and great take-aways.
Kayak hire etc. is also available from the shop.
Red Rock is a bird watcher's dream with a lot of rare birds to be spotted along the river or in the heath. In spring the flowers in the heath are worthwhile a visit.
From July to November the headland is a great place for whale watching.
There is a bowling green and tennis courts. The bowling club has a bar and bistro for those who want to eat out. A bit further away (6km's) is the Amble Inn in Corindi. A pub with a great atmosphere and a very good restaurant.


Surrounding area

To the north Red Rock adjoins Yuraygir National Park with beautiful pristine beaches and rock pools.
Red Rock is situated in the Solitary Island Marine Park, there are very good dive sites at the nearby islands where divers can enjoy encounters with mantas, eagle rays, grey nurse sharks etc. and a multitude of fish.
The closest dive operators are situated in Mullaway (10 min. drive) and Coffs Harbour (30 min drive).
Woolgoolga (15 min drive) is the closest town. It has a large Sikh Punjabi community and the pure white Guru Nanak Sikh Temple is an outstanding feature of the town. There are supermarkets, lovely coffee shops, vegetable and spice shops, curry restaurants, a lively pub and markets near the beach once a month and several festivals throughout the year.
Another 15 min down the road you get to Coffs Harbour, a large town with shopping centres, cinemas, a theatre, lots of pubs, hotels, tourist attractions etc.
Further afield along the waterfall Way are Bellingen, a trendy and touristy town with lots of music events, coffee shops etc. and Dorrigo with a 'skywalk' in the National Park, waterfalls, etc.

Another wonderful stay
We were so fortunate to once again call this lovely beach bungalow home for three weeks. It is well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing holiday in beautiful Red Rock. The furnishings are practical and relaxed, there are lovely views from the large windows facing the river and the park, and the outside deck is a perfect place to catch the morning sun or sip on a glass of wine when the day draws to a close.

First stay at Red Rock
This property was good for the price paid. Location was nice, quiet neighbourhood, view was beautiful especially in the mornings and you could hear the waves from the ocean. House was good if you don’t mind an older style home and ammenities. Only downside is that the shower floor became very slippery once the water was running.
