My wife and I had a wonderful relaxing time at Hawkes Nest. The house was absolutely fantastic, close proximity to the shops and the beaches. The yard and verandah was excellent for our dog Toby (old Springer Spaniel). If available we will book again, this was definitely a Gem.
The local shops (less than 500 meters away) had everything we required, from a well stocked IGA mini supermarket, 2 Coffee shops, Bakery, Liquor supplier, fishing tackle and craft shop, no need to go elsewhere.
The beaches are very close, no more than 5 to 10 minutes walk. Jimmy's beach is very protected and great for young children, Bennetts Beach is the surf beach, great swimming, fishing and a beautiful outlook.
