The serenity, peace and misty morning views from the terrace over a morning coffee really hit the spot. The styling in the cottage is exquisite and with so many little details though out, including a picnic blanket to take down to the river, lawn games and marshmallows to roast over the fire pit.Nicole and Craig are excellent hosts and went above and beyond whilst we were there, quickly changing over the gas when it ran out, quickly providing supplies of wine and the best chilli margaritas when we ran low. Even though you are in the heart of the countryside you have Federal on your doorstep and Bangalow and Byron within an easy drive. Though we didn't really want to leave as we had everything we needed at the farm.I highly recommend booking Heartwood Farm and can't wait to return. ##### Elizabeth G.
