We really enjoyed our stay. Madeleine was lovely, genuine and friendly and the little place was charming, very comfortable, with a corrugated iron wall creating privacy from main house. Could only get mobile reception on Telstra with one phone, but isn't being un-contactable what holidays are for? Plenty of birds, fair bit of space; horse, chooks and big dog (Ziggy: protector of the realm) were happy to have us, as we were them. Ziggy is protective and gentle: a good combination for children. I'm sure this would be a great place for kids to grow up. Best for those who want time away from being buffeted by the constant jostling of city life. Sublime coffee at Social Grounds in Port Macquarie, just 10 minutes drive into town.
