A modern home with high-end finishings and open plan living

The Gumbaynggirr people have long welcomed the Gurruja’s - Whales, through the homelands of Scott’s Head from June through to November each year. Witness these majestic creatures right from your doorstep as they migrate up to warmer waters and make their journey back to the Antarctic. Famous for its right-handed surf breaks, Scott’s head is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, approximately 10 kilometres from the Pacific Highway and 480 kilometres from Sydney, it stretches southwards from the mouth of the Nambucca River to the laid-back town of Scott’s Head.

Gurruja Retreat sleeps up to 2 guests comfortably and is the entire ground floor of a two storey townhouse. Just a five minute walk from the Surf Club, Little Beach and the gateway to Gaagal Wanggaan - South Beach, National Park, which sweeps in a long 11km arc from the Nambucca river mouth to Scotts Head.

Self-contained retreat - Queen Bed, kitchenette, bathroom with shower, and a private, luxurious cinema room.

The Cinema Room: Purpose-built by the previous owner and musical muse, this private studio was once used to create incredible soundtracks for the film industry. Now guests can experience this unique and impressive sound-proof home cinema for themselves. Enjoy the ultimate couples movie night with a state-of-the-art projector, opulent electric leather lounges and all in air-conditioned comfort.

A modern and character-filled home with high-end finishings and open plan living, Gurruja Retreat captures the coastal lifestyle – in style. Perfect for weekend escapes, corporate travel, remote workers, couples retreat and singles alike. Wi-Fi provided for your convenience. Step out from the living space onto the patio with panoramic views of Elephant Head headland and expansive ocean to watch the world go by.

Please note that there are no laundry facilities at Gurruja Retreat, however we do offer a laundry service for you for 40 per laundry bag during your stay.

There is plenty to enjoy and explore in this culturally significant coastal town. Or you may wish to simply wind down, disconnect and get back to nature. You will fall in love with this peaceful abode. No parties, No pets, No smoking. Please note that the upstairs floor cannot be booked in conjunction with your stay, so you will be guaranteed the property to yourself. No garage but plenty of street parking on a quiet street.

Great place!
Beautiful views, great little apartment. Fabulous cinema room. We really enjoyed our stay. Could do with some large kitchen knives and also the lounge in the cinema had a bit of a funky smell.

Scotts Head gem
Great property, great location. However, the little details need attention. The WiFi details didn’t work and there was no physical modem in our part of the property. We spoke with 3 different operatives who said they would contact the owners and come back to us. The first operative did send a text saying they were still trying to contact the owner. We are still waiting a response and have now completed our stay. Unfortunately the front yard was also fouled with dog mess.
