Empowering me with gratitude, presence, mindfulness, movement and creativity. Looking back at my truly magnificent stay at Headlands Austinmer Beach I can’t wipe the smile off my face. Surfing out the front of my room until the sun camedown; devouring fresh and healthy food. Watching the sun come up and hearing the waves crashing on the reef. Are just a few magical moments at the outstanding hotel I will always cherish. The sunrises from my room WOOOOOWZERS.
It’s no surprise that my stay was nothing short of spectacular given that the Headlands Austinmer Beach is a multi-award-winning venue located on the picturesque south coast of NSW just 20 minutes north of Wollongong and 60 minutes south of Sydney. Loved that I got a break from busy Sydney without having to drive for hours. Went from surfing with felt like 80,000 people in Bondi beach to arriving at Headlands Austinmer Beach and surfing out the front; at Sharkies beach with just 2 people. The surf out the front is epic! at Headlands. Long glassy rides for days woohooo.
My room was breathtaking. Not only was the view of the ocean outstanding but it contained luxurious and stylishly appointed furnishings. And to top it off a fully equipped kitchen and washing machine/dryer. All the comforts of home that made me never want to leave.
As much as a I love cooking. I only cooked once as the food a the Headlands Dining Room, Beer Garden and Sundowner Terrace is like everything at the Hotel outstanding. A must have is the vegan and Gluten free ‘Roast pumpkin, feta, confit cherry tomato, roast capsicum, toasted pine nuts & baby spinach’ salad. Yummo – tip add haloumi to it.
Sweet potato lovers you will also be happy to know they serve the best Sweet potato wedges.
If your mouth isn’t watering yet it will be with the Fish dishes the Headlands offers. The ‘Fried fish tacos with pickled red cabbage, harissa yoghurt, fresh coriander & chips’ is absolutely massive, fresh and delicious.
And for those wanting something lighter and healthier another favourite of mine the ‘Barramundi fillet with green pea & edamame smash & ginger, chilli, shallot oil.’
The hotel also features a stunning swimming pool overlooking the ocean.
With live music on weekends. Epic surf at your doorstep. Breath-taking views. Warm worldclass service… live your best life now! Book now! there is a very good chance that we will be catching waves out the front together I can’t wait to return.
