East Coast Stays Pty Ltd

SunnySide Down is a relaxed, ground-floor holiday unit set right along the Evans River at McDonald Place. With peaceful garden surrounds and panoramic river views, it offers an easy, walk-everywhere base for a laid-back Evans Head escape.

Positioned on the ground level, the unit is easy to access and ideal for guests who prefer no stairs, while still enjoying beautiful water outlooks and cooling river breezes. Step outside to cast a line or launch your kayak straight into the river from the backyard, then sit back and watch the water drift by.

Walk to Main Beach along the cycle track, stroll 2 minutes to the cafes and retail precinct or enjoy a cold beverage at the RSL Club or Illawong Hotel
