We stayed at Karen's place on our drive from Sydney to Brisbane. Sawtell is a lovely sleepy beach town with great organic cafes, good coffee and a simply stunning beach with beautiful walks and a fantastic headland with sweeping views. Karen and her family were extremely welcoming and relaxed and the house is a fantastic location just 2 minutes walk to the main street and right on the edge of the ocean. The house was spotless and the bathroom was amazing - we both had very long relaxing baths and divine sleeps in the extremely comfortable beds. I could not rate Karen's house more highly for a trip to Sawtell or the Coffs Coast.
