I highly recommend staying at The Banksias! The property is very well maintained with plenty of spaces to relax and spend time with friends and family. We had so much fun playing tennis, golf, operating the golf cart, making pizzas in the pizza oven and watching a Formula 1 race in the outdoor cinema area. The rooms and cabins were very comfortable and the indoor and outdoor kitchen spaces well equipped. We had a wonderful and relaxing time - hopefully we will be back in the near future!

Perfect Family Holiday
Perfect Family Holiday
Our large family of 15 adults, a 4 year old and a 1 year old had a wonderful week at The Banksias, Crescent Head. The location was brilliant with lots of space, a tennis court, golf course and walk to the beach. The accommodation was lovely with room for everyone and some really great areas for us all to gather around and relax. We enjoyed the use of the outdoor cinema, firepit and the jacuzzi. We had our lunch & dinner catered for each evening - all organised through our hosts Jo & Paul. The food was fabulous - huge quantities, a wide variety across the week and fresh, tasty meals that catered to the dietary requirements we have within the group. It was an absolute pleasure staying at The Banksias, everywhere was lovely and clean, the toiletries were excellent and Jo was quick to respond if we had any queries. It really suited all of us, and our ages ranged from 1 to 81. Everyone had a fabulous holiday.

We had three families (with older teens and three tweens) at Banksia for four nights. We were hoping for a great experience in the first holiday after lockdowns, and we weren't disappointed. Surfing, paddle boarding, fishing, tennis, golf, kayaking, swimming, outdoor movies, fires, feasts, and a lot of chilling out - what a great time. Beautiful rooms. There's almost no mobile connection, and the wifi wasn't great, but frankly that improved the experience. Not once did a teenager say they were bored. My personal highlight was reading half a book in a hammock under a shady tree looking down the creek with a gentle breeze.
