The house is private, close to town and is a very peaceful spot to relax with family and friends. The bedrooms were large and comfortable, easily sleeping a large group. The veranda is a beautiful spot to sit with a coffee or drink and we wish we could have stayed longer. Hosts we very helpful and quick to respond. A little bit more attention to detail with some of the cleaning in the kitchen and outside, would improve this property but this was all minor and otherwise a we had very enjoyable stay. ##### Melanie K.

The host was a great communicator and left some goodies for us at the property! The little touches to make our stay enjoyable were just divine! The view from the property is beautiful and so serene. The kids found the games and had a blast in the garden playing for hours. The deck is such a nice area to sit down and relax. The kids had no issues connecting their devices to the tv’s. The fans made the house cool and comfortable in hot days. We will definitely be back to this beautiful place. There is a nice coffee shop 6 minutes drive at the main streets in Bellingen, nice brewery and IGA for groceries. We found all this information in the booklet provided at the property which was really helpful (: ##### Lesly Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark A. 1 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice A beautiful house in a beautiful location.
