We are a group of 12 friends who get together every 6 months or so. We've stayed in some amazing locations around Australia, so were excited when we found Ali's place in Crescent Head - particularly given it was halfway between Sydney and the Gold Coast where we all live.
Ali has a great space. We loved the design, the outdoor bathrooms and the large covered entertainment area. The kitchen was well equipped for our stay and there were a number of options for dining. It has a beautiful outlook across the bush and you although you are right on the road, it feels very private. The Adobe Style buildings make you feel as though you have been transported to New Mexico. All in all very cool.
However, we all felt it could be so much better if it had a little bit of TLC, especially given the price of the rental. On reading some of the other reviews, it was a recurring comment - so it wasn't just us. I guess we're just used to a higher standard at that pricepoint.
We did spend some time at the beautiful beaches which are relatively close. Ali, if you ever though of putting a pool in, it would make this property truly amazing. Thanks again for sharing your home, we had a great time. I do hope that it realises its full potential.
Oh, and make sure you bring plenty of insect repellant. I live in the country so am no stranger to Mozzies, but my city friends struggled. But hey, you get the beauty of the bush, so there's some things that are worth putting up with!
