Hat Head is a stunning little place away from the hustle & bustle. The creek opposite is a peaceful waterway for the kayaks which are supplied. The beach is stunning and the water so warm! On Michaels suggestion we snorkelled at the creek mouth at high tide which was truly amazing! Loads of fish, water pristine and a gorgeous blue/green. He loaned us a couple of snorkels & goggles which was wonderful. The house was perfect for 2 couples, very new and stylish. Make sure to bring everything you need though as the shops are a bit limited. There are a couple of very small stores where you can purchase enough for a basic meal and a bottle of wine, but probably better to shop at a bigger supermarket on the way eg Kempsey. Gladstone is a very cute little town about 15 mins away but most things are only open Wed to Sunday apart from the beautiful old pub. Hat Head is a hidden gem. Enjoy while it stays that way!
