This was our first visit to Urunga and we only chose it because it was roughly half way back home, so it was a convenient place to stop; plus Denise's place is pet-friendly.
Urunga itself is a lovely place and I can see why the locals want to keep it a secret. We actually spoke to a few and they (half-jokingly) said not to tell everybody about it, or everyone will want to come!
If you like lots of hustle and bustle and lots of restaurants, then this isn't the place for you, but there's enough eateries that you won't go hungry. We had take-away from the Chinese restaurant and really enjoyed it.
Denise's place…wow! It's modern, clean, and has the feel of a new home. Denise provides some basic food supplies so if you arrive at a time that nothing is open to get something to eat, you will be able to find enough in the kitchen to not go hungry.
We were very glad we chose Urunga and Denise's place for our half-way stop.
