Amazing pad for our family. Would stay here again anytime.
Lovely house walking distance to the lake, beach and shops. Very well stocked and well kept house. Beds are comfy and there is nothing better than sitting on the porch each afternoon with the cool breeze blowing in from the ocean.

Reviewer Comments:
Really sweet retro shack, very clean and tidy. In a good location, with only a short walk into the town area and beach/ river. The house has everything you need to make your stay easy, however they don’t supply linen which is a little bothersome, we couldn’t locate the wifi code for a few days until the office was open, and the tap water is not drinkable so you need to be prepared for those things. Otherwise, it’s cute, cosy and easy with kids.

Ondine is the perfect place to stay in Crescent Head. Meticulously maintained, well located and comfortable - and just a gentle stroll from the shops and main beach.
