Gaagal Lookout - step out onto the balcony with panoramic views of the famous Elephant Head.

Some places are so special they demand protection, and such was the case with the stretch of coastal land between Nambucca Heads and Scotts Head, called Gaagal Wanggaan (South Beach) National Park. Home to the local Gumbaynggirr People, this area was recognised as a vital spot for state preservation in a joint management agreement with the Traditional Owners.

Gaagal Lookout is only 5 minute walk to the gateway of this magnificent National Park, along with all the very best recreational activities to enjoy in Scotts Head, including the Surf Club, its famous right-handed surf breaks, and family friendly rock pools and coves.

Step out from the dining and living areas onto the balcony with panoramic views of the famous Elephant Head and expansive ocean to sit and watch the world go by. Large air-conditioned living area with large Smart TV and comfortable lounging – kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, coffee machine and breakfast bar.

Gaagal Lookout sleeps up to 7 guests comfortably.

Great location & beautiful house
Except for the dishwasher and washroom locks not working, everything is perfect with this house. It’s in an excellent location, and I will visit again.

Stunning location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week at Gaagal lookout. The house is fabulous and the view just stunning. Cleanliness was definitely not up to standard, however, and we needed to purchase our own basic supplies in town (tea, coffee, salt, pepper, washing up liquid, loo roll etc)

Fabulous place to stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The house was spotlessly clean, well appointed and maintained and had a great design to maximise the views and comfort of guests. Lovely bathrooms, and the cinema was a bonus when we’d had too much sun. The location is also great - just a few mins to the beach and shops. Throughly enjoyed our stay.

Awkward
the property is at the front of another property, there is only one driveway which makes things awkward. there is no off street parking and a steep climb to the door.

Great Escape
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had a wonderful holiday at the property, which was spacious, beautiful, had stunning views and a great layout. Clean, comfortable beds and couches. Convenient to everything with a short walk. Frequent visits (and songs) from the local bird life!I would say the only negatives were related to conflicting photos on the website I booked through, as there were current and prior to renovation photos, so it was difficult to understand what to expect on arrival (but this has since been rectified). Also I booked the whole house and found on arrival, that they were separate, so you had to go outside to access the 1 bedroom apartment from the main house. Not a huge issue for me, but could be problematic for families.I'd go back for sure!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was great, right next to the beach with an amazing view ButHouses general cleanliness was not up to par with the prices charged, neither was the bedding/linen etc, loungeroom AC mouldy, need to clean under furniture (which no one seems to do?), lolly wrappers and lollipo sticks in kids, half bag of lollies (opened) on top of kitchen cupboardNo actual place to park aside from the street without blocking neighbours behind was annoying for daily trips etcThe fact the upper and lower parts of the house aren't actually joined, as in you need to walk up the drive to get between the two (sold to us as a 3 bedroom, yet it was a 2 bed upper and a separated 1 bed lower) which meant with a 6 month old and a 3 year old we could only use the top and not sleep downstairs as intended
