All cottages except for Gravillea have a cozy log fire to enjoy on those colder nights.

All cottages can be rented out as a group booking or individually.
They are far enough apart to have your own space and privacy but close enough for friends and family to pop over.

Crescent Head, a true surfers paradise is just 5hrs north of Sydney and a good half way stop between Sydney and QLD. We are surrounded by National Park and the area is very much undeveloped.

Goolawah means ‘yesterday’ in the Dunghutti language. The land is significant to local Aboriginal people, and their word for it is appropriate. Goolawah is exactly like yesterday – untouched by the footprint of development. This is what draws back visitors year after year.

PLEASE NOTE
We do not provide sheets or towels unless requested but can be added at $20 a bed.

Guests are welcome to walk around the property and enjoy the bush setting and ocean views, children are welcome to bring push bikes and play within the property.

We have a very friendly dog Busta who may greet you on arrival or pop his head in during your stay to say “hello”.

We had a great time staying at Blackbutt. The house is great and the view from the balcony is amazing. There is a fireplace which makes the house very comfy. You can buy wood direct with the hosts whi...ch makes life easier.
The property is beautiful. Lot's of trees and nature. Very relaxing stay.
The house doesn't have wifi and our phones had poor connection so wouldn't recommend if you need internet. Apart from it, definitely recommend Blackbutt and will stay there again when back in Crescent Head.
Summer is a great host and replied all of our messages straight away.
Thanks for having us guys!

What a view!!
My partner and I spent most of our afternoons sitting on the balcony listening to the birds and the ocean - feeling instantly relaxed the moment we arrived.

We drove around a little vis...iting friends and heading into The Rocks - but we also ventured into the Crescent Head town centre and found our favourite cafe Blackfish Coffee.

We’re already thinking about booking our next little getaway staying in Blackbutt again.

Thank you to Summer and Knox for providing such an amazing retreat.
