Charlie's @ Hat Head
Charlie’s is a modern two-bedroom cottage designed for relaxation and rejuvenation. With a spacious lounge, a large, well-equipped kitchen, and an expansive patio, it’s the perfect retreat for a couple, two couples, or a small family. This exceptional getaway is a place you’ll want to return to year after year, making it a cherished part of your life.
Just steps from the property, a 250-step bush trail winds through serene dunes, opening up to a stunning 16-kilometre beach—a breathtaking escape waiting to be explored. In the opposite direction, a 500-step stroll leads you to a tidal creek, ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply floating along to the shore.
One of the highlights of Charlie's is the heavenly outdoor shower. Perfect for rinsing off after a beach day, it becomes magical at night under a sky filled with sparkling stars. Watch for shooting stars—you’ll be amazed by how many you’ll see.
Charlie’s also offers practicality alongside its beauty. The property includes a secure single lockup garage with an additional bathroom for your convenience, plus two driveway spaces at the front to accommodate all your parking needs.
Discover the charm and tranquility of Charlie’s—a coastal sanctuary you’ll never want to leave.
Please Note: 'Charlie's @ Hat Head' requires payment of a $250 refundable security deposit. A post departure inspection is required before funds are released.
Linen is supplied in this holiday letting. You will need to provide your own toilet paper, soap and dishwashing liquid etc.
Charlie's may just have the best location in the entire village but shhhh, don't tell too many people.

A few problems
The house is really nice looking house there is no air con so on hot days we were sweating a lot. The day bed/ outdoor room were amazing and we spent most of our time there just relaxing even having the occasional accidental nap
The negatives were that (as mentioned above) no air conditioning, the shower did have problems and the drain smelled but were fixed ASAP when I told the agency.
The cook top did not work when we went to use it luckily we were able to borrow something to cook dinner with from family staying down the road.
Overall the house is amazing. I believe we just had the issues pop up when we stayed? It would not stop me booking this place again.
