Small shopping centre and tavern nearby. Lovely beaches and only a 10-15min drive to Forste.

Shops not too far away but needed to drive. Had a meal at Indian restaurant. Very nice meal and friendly service
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveller
We came here merely for the price of the property as, being so close to school holidays, prices in Forster were far too expensive. We spent most of our time in Forster itself. There isn’t much to do in Red Head other than going to the beach.
