Brooms Head: Where Time Takes a Holiday (and So Should You)
If you’ve ever dreamt of escaping to a coastal hideaway where the only deadlines involve tides and sunsets, Brooms Head might just be your spiritual homeland. Tucked into a glorious curve of the Clarence Valley coastline, this sleepy village isn’t trying to impress anyone—yet it completely charms everyone. It’s a place where shoes are optional, traffic is non-existent and the rhythm of life gently slows to the pace of your own heartbeat (preferably while horizontal, with a book in hand).
The daily grind here looks something like this: a morning dip in the clear, calm lagoon, a lazy wander to the Brooms Head General Store for coffee or forgotten essentials, a scenic stroll over the grassy headlands, then lunch at the Snack Shack—a rite of passage involving hot chips, tomato sauce and zero regrets. Dinner? That’s sorted at the Brooms Head Bowlo, where you’ll find icy beers, a well-worn pool table and unexpectedly excellent Chinese food. It’s simple. It’s joyful. And yes, it’s gloriously underdone in all the best ways.
Nature here shows off just enough. The beaches are wide and uncrowded, the sunrises are pastel-perfect and the kangaroos on the headland aren’t just part of the vibe—they’re practically residents. Early birds can catch dolphins cruising past the point, while those craving actual birds will spot everything from sea eagles to curious kookaburras. Surfers can catch mellow breaks, bushwalkers can wander the Yuraygir National Park trails and the rest of us can lie on the sand and do absolutely nothing with gusto.
And now, for the big news: Oceanstays has officially landed in Brooms Head, bringing our signature hospitality to one of the most unspoilt stretches of coast in NSW. Our first offering? ‘Marg’s’—a lovingly kept 3-bedroom beach house with jaw-dropping ocean views and direct beach access. It’s the kind of spot where you can start your morning with a cup of tea, lose an entire afternoon to a novel and a breeze, then fall asleep to the sound of the sea.
So if you're feeling a little too connected, a little too scheduled or just a little too… well, everything—Brooms Head is waiting. And Marg’s is ready when you are.
