We loved Deb's place for its peace, quietness, beautiful surroundings and attention to detail in the house. We wanted a place to stay overnight to break up the trip from Sydney to the Gold Coast. We stayed here both on the way there and back and regretted we didn't have more time to explore the mountain walks (it's hard for us to get up at 5:30 to watch the sunrise) and magic pools. You could stay here on the mountain in the middle of the forest and drive to the beach every day to get the best of both worlds on a summer holiday and we are seriously thinking about this. The great thing was that we could bring our dog along with us. The kids liked this house much more than the one on the Gold Coast!
