We booked the house as it was close in location to our other family members staying in Gowing Street. We didn’t expect much except it was a great location. However the house was so cute. Views from our bedroom and a terrific cross breeze. Only thing missing was an outdoor area.

Traditional fibro beach house in excellent condition and perfect for a couple of surfers spending a few days at Crescent Head. Everything was clean and operational. Liked the old style rooms and how handy to the beach it is.

We had a great experience at Almare. We have stayed in it a few times now & doesn’t fault. Although, it does lack basic necessities such as cling wrap, foil & paper towel. We had a black out while we were there & there was no candles nor torches which was tricky. Everything is super dated which is fine but I wouldn’t pay any more for the property. Overall, we love coming to Almare & will continue the tradition of spending summer there.

Reviewer Comments:
This house has a lot of character and the old rooms a lovely feel. The biggest thing it lacks is a nice place to sit outside. Very close to beach, cafes and lookout. Not much view from house. Could really do with a furniture and decor upgrade. Get rid of the chip board Ikea **** and replace it with old things, thought and love. But I get the feeling the owner doesn't really care about guests experience just making a buck and from the surveyors marks the house might be due for demolition and replaced with apartments blocks like it's surrounds. Sad! Mice and cockroaches but that's part of the charm. Great spot if you can't spend all day in the surf. Unfortunately we rainy cool whether.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in one of the original beach houses which was roomy, well appointed and what a beach holiday is all about.We were very sad and disappointed to hear that it will be replaced by just another two storey box.Guess we won’t be back - sad.

Cute cottage/beach shack
We had a wonderful long weekend away with our kids. The place is neat and tidy, has character. Beds, linen and dining room table have been updated since the photos. Could do with a fan in the bedroom but sea breezes were good. Close to shops/cafe and easy walk to the beach with kids.
