We absolutely loved staying at Diamond Beach and loved Lisa's house. The house is super quiet, perfectly located on the beach and we were waking up each morning to dolphins jumping out of the water. The house is two story, with two separate living spaces which was super handy as the kids could be downstairs playing without all the noise in the main living area upstairs! Diamond Beach is 5 minutes drive from Black Head where there is a Food Works, coffee shop, bakery, butcher etc which became a morning ritual. The beach itself is wide open but not patrolled, so recommend going to Black Head to swim if you're got kids who aren't strong swimmers, or using the Black Head ocean pool which is lovely too. The house has all the modern amenities for a good family holiday - coffee machine, good kitchen, washer / dryer, BBQ, bodyboards in the garage, etc. We absolutely loved staying at Lisa's place. It was an easy drive from Sydney and worth skipping the usual spots to drive abit further north for warmer weather and less crowds!
