Reviewer Comments: This is the 1st time I have stayed in a property leased by Crescent Head Real Estate. I normally stay at the caravan park in the cabins. As for the future that is the end of the caravan park and I will be getting a property through the same agent for next trip. All my expectations were met and interesting when discussing matters the agent s remember things. Most unlike most agents. So I would have no hesitation in recommending this agency. Most unlike me. ##### Garry K.
