Is a holiday without your precious pooches even a holiday?
When Ambassador Sarah was keen to take her dogs, Nala and Benji to Reflections Nambucca, we couldn't wait to follow along and find out all the dog-friendly spots in Nambucca Heads...
"Nambucca Heads is without a doubt, one of the most stunning pieces of coastline we have seen, and we were thrilled to head there for our latest ambassador trip with Reflections. Why "thrilled" you ask? Because the whole family could come along - yep we could friendly with dogs and stay in a dog friendly cabin (includes veranda that's perfect for snoozing dogs).
Dog-friendly beaches where the dogs could run wild
The park has direct access to Swimming Creek Beach which is dog-friendly on the northern end and an off-leash zone! And of course Nala and Benji couldn't wait to check it out. And there isn't a dog in the world happier than one running into the waves. Sand - check, sopping wet dogs - check, happiness - check check check!
There are also more dog-friendly beaches at Valla Beach and Main Beach (Scotts Head) but sadly, we didn't have time to check them out.
Footpaths and trails
A visit to Nambucca Heads is not complete without checking out the V-Wall Outdoor Gallery, with the dogs on a leash.
Another great spot is the Nambucca Heads boardwalk, where the dogs could look into the water along the trail - did somebody say turtle spotting?
Grabbing a (human) feed where dogs are welcome
We found the town of Nambucca Heads to be super pet-friendly! We headed straight to Matilda's, only a few minutes drive away - which is a beautiful café near the water with delicious pizza & a stunning outdoor, pet-friendly area! Wharf Street Cafe is also dog-friendly.
We also got takeaway pizza, eaten at the picnic tables at the park and washed down with some of the most stunning ocean views we could wish for. And yes, a couple of pizza crusts may have gone astray and never seen again...
All in all
The crystal clear waters that surround the town are unlike anything we have ever seen. Perfectly nestled in the mid north coast you are only a day trip away from places like Coffs Harbour, Bellingen, South West Rocks and Port Macquarie.
Do yourself the favour, and make time for this one of a kind location."
Sounds like a great time for the whole family Sarah - thanks for sharing.

If you’re a dog owner, you know the hassle (and heartache) of leaving your fur-babies behind when you go on holiday....
