I am writing this for balance after spotting crazy bad review below, whilst looking for property data. Lets get a few things straight. Are there people here who take drugs and people who are unemployed?. Yep. But we moved here from a supposedly more up market and "trendy" town and the drugs and night time problems there were far worse. We find the people here generally unpretentious and polite. I am also a muso and have played in local pubs in NH and Macksville, and have also returned home from gigs dozens of times through the centre of town at midnight - 2am..Never had a problem. Local crowds were funny, fun loving and appreciative . We bough a funky Aussie weather board 600m from the beach and river at a great price, and like many others here we are quietly renovating while we enjoy the coastal lifestyle. The beaches here are brilliant and not even crowded during holiday seasons. In the last 18 months the council has been renovating the fore shores and parks etc, and our street even got a new surface, We are a little short on trendy restaurants, but there is a good Thai, and a great Chinese in the leagues club, and a few great cafes ( a couple on the riverside) and a tavern which overlooks the river at the heads. There are probably 5 places where you can buy good coffee and we have the best fishmonger on the coast. Woolies has improved since we got here and the range of product is great , and same in the bottle shop. NH is NOT a hipster hell hole. Thank God. Musos and local business folk have been very welcoming, and we have found new friends here. A few friends also came from our previous town and joined us here, and love it. Yes, it is quiet here at night, but we are not really pub people anyway. There are kangaroos in the reserves, lots of bushland, even the surf club is being reno'd. The council is also building a bike track between NH and Macksville, which will be great as we go there for coffee/snacks/shopping sometimes. There is a great appliance store, and everything we need in town for daily stuff. If we do need a wider choice ( say new clothes for a special occasion) then Coffs is 40 mins sway down the freeway. Its a great place, just dont expect hyper trendy...just yet.
