The garden is so pretty and the place well equipped and roomy. The owners live upstairs and are helpful and friendly but not intrusive at all. Lennox Head and surrounds is a brilliant place for a holiday. This accommodation is between the town and the headland with safe swimming a minute from the door. Definitely on our visit again list ! ##### Sarah C.

Absolutely glorious apartment, beautifully set-out, peaceful garden setting, metres from Lennox Beach, could not have wished for a better holiday experience.
