We loved everything about our stay at the Salty Shack. The place itself is beautiful & spotless. Stylish, hand crafted, well considered choices (eg. the oh-so-soft crocheted throw rug!). Lazing on the couch overlooking Crescent Head was divine. We didn't use the car except to visit a National Park 15min's away. Otherwise we loved walking around town - lots of original beach houses help retain Crescent Head's charm as a surfing village. GREAT food at the local cafes & we enjoyed meals at The Med (Mexican cantina - gorgeous), the pub (standard pub fare plus vegan options) & the still-in-the-80s Chinese (very friendly staff & very yummy). And great mobile phone coverage, if that's important. We highly recommend floating down the river allowing the tide to carry you - AWESOME! Thanks Rhys & Jess for setting up such a wonderful space!
