'For Rest' at Crescent Head.

For Rest - A Natural Escape at Point Plomer

As the name suggests, For Rest is a beautiful two-bedroom timber home nestled amongst a lush rainforest canopy on the famous Point Plomer Road, between Delicate Nobby and Big Hill.

Wake to the sounds of native birds, explore the surrounding block and immerse yourself in the incredible flora and fauna that make this part of the Mid North Coast so special. Protected under a NSW Conservation Agreement, the property offers a rare opportunity to experience nature at its best. Take your time and you may spot an array of wildlife, including colourful birdlife, red-necked wallabies and lace monitor lizards.

For beach lovers, simply walk down the lane and across the road to access Big Hill Beach. Wander along the headland, enjoy a peaceful beach walk or settle in for a surf away from the crowds.

With its peaceful rainforest setting, abundant wildlife and easy access to the coast, For Rest is the perfect place to slow down, switch off and reconnect with nature.

Great value beach cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For Rest is a great, affordable cabin for beach lovers and a small family. Its nestled in the forest about 1km back from the beach. Great for winter surf trips with hot shower and great fire place and heaps of videos. Was a perfect winter retreat with my teenage sons

Rainforest cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute simple cabin in the rainforest. Bed comfy and kitchen functional. Two key improvements needed - lumpy couches in dire need replacement and walls need a good clean to get all the dust and some mould off. May not be an issue for everyone but was tricky as I am allergic.Bathroom functional and some nice homey touches from the owners. A lot of love has gone into the building of this property. Floors were clean. Take boots and spray for the leeches! it really is the dappled rainforest. Make sure you ask for directions as difficult to find for a non local. We couldn’t get the fireplace going as seemed to be blocked but would be nice if functional. We were happy we brought a 4wd to get up the driveway with all the rain.

Nice, eco-friendly house, but not located at pin

Visitors should be aware that the house is not located at the pin shown on the Stayz listing, and that sections of Point Plomer Road are currently poorly maintained gravel and so best suited to 4WDs. Check the printed directions that the real estate agent provides when you pick up the key, rather than following the map or using GPS. The house is located 900m inland from Point Plomer Road. Turn right after Big Hill cottages onto a tarred drive marked no entry/private, and drive up the hill to the crest. You will see farm sheds to the right and a farm gate ahead. The house is located down the driveway to the left. The house would make a nice getaway (especially with the limited reception) for a couple, but is less suitable for children hoping for a beachside holiday. You would need to drive them down to the road and then along to find beach access. We have suggested to the agent to update the listing.
