Most beautiful get away in Wave-breaker !

Stayed at the Wavebreaker with my partner for a romantic get away and was looked after so well by Debra the lovely host. Woke up to brownies on Valentine’s Day (even catered to diary requirements) and then again following days with other treats. Very clean and airy little place with classic Scott’s head beach views to wake up to each morning :) Loved coming back to our little place after our adventures. The place had absolutely everything you need Can’t wait to come back here in the future and know I’ll be looked after perfectly !! Can’t recommend enough. Pleasant, peaceful and relaxing

Views For The Memory

We had a wonderful stay over looking a beautiful beach while having the ability to watch whales all day until dark. It is a beautifully presnted property and very suitable for couples. We even had fresh warm bread delivered that was delicious. We had the best time in Scotts Head and Karen and I will be back staying at the Wavebreaker again. Thanks Debra for everything Cheers Karen and David

Just beautiful!

We went for a short getaway. The studio is incredibly well appointed with everything you might need and then some. Debra is a wonderful and super friendly host who clearly loves providing her guests with an exceptional experience (I will let you work out for yourself what her thoughtful touches are). We sat on the porch looking at whales breeching and splashing, as well as dolphins playing in the shallows. It was magical. There is easy access to the beach, to walks and to the local supermarket, which is really well provisioned. A great place to relax and unwind and just be. We will definitely be back!

Top Quality Studio

This studio apartment is beautifully appointed with all modern appliances and finishes throughout. The appartment is on the bottom floor of a larger house. The bed was comfy with nice Sheridin sheets and array of different types of pillows to use. I did not hear or notice any people in the house above and the stay was super peaceful with the spectacular sea views.

Home away from home

Our third stay at Wavebreaker, this time for five nights in mid August. Love the tranquility, the views over the ocean, the whale spotting, walks along the beach, the village atmosphere where you can stroll down to get a good coffee, shop for dinner or relax over a casual lunch in the cafe. But most of all we enjoy Debra's caring hospitality, her comfortable and well appointed accommodation and knowledge of the area. Thanks again for an enjoyable stay.

Full ocean view and close to the beach

Well positioned unit with ocean views and very close to the beach. Interior setup of the apartment could have been more convenient. TV was only viewable from the bed but could be easily relocated so it could be viewed from both the lounge and the bed.

Scott's Head

The property is fine for a day or two but I wouldn't recommend a longer stay. We didn't like the flannellette sheets. They made the bed too hot and uncomfortable for sleeping. We were reluctant to use the column heater as it was old and rusty. The host was very welckming a d friendly.
