Rosie is a warm and thoughtful host, great to speak to but also v respectful of privacy. This air bnb is one of the rare remaining types that you'd get when air bnb first started: It's a special and local perspective of the region which you would wouldn't otherwise access via a hotel or commercial accom. If you're looking for the authentic Bellingen experience - not the homogenised, air-conditioned, self-consciously hipster type that's creeping into the valley - this is it. Location is stunning, beautifully kept gardens, sweet cats and little fox terrier dog. As described in the listing, you'll share a bathroom with the main house - and what a bathroom it is - claw-leg porcelain bath with french doors and mountain views. Kitchen is an outdoor sink set up next to the studio - it's actually very cute, I loved it. Light-filled studio. Farm eggs and fresh fruit thoughtfully left for you. The private waterfall swimming hole is outrageously gorgeous, deep and crisp. A stunning retreat.
