Helen & Craig’s place is wonderful and they are terrific hosts. They provided us with well written directions to the property which were accurate and easy to follow. Check-in was simple and convenient. The space is as lovely as it looks in the images. Fabulous big windows and a brilliant open kitchen and dining space. In addition to the balcony which faces the river, there is also a lovely outdoor space which is protected from the weather (a roof and walls on three sides) with comfortable chairs to relax in. In the lounge there is a large TV and proper lounge chairs (not cheap, uncomfortable furniture) and the room is cosy with a log fire and/or electric heating. Helen & Craig allowed us to choose which bedroom we wanted. We chose the room which had the bathroom adjacent to it (with a bath and separate shower). In their garden they grow a lot of veges and herbs and they very kindly encouraged us to use anything we wanted, including fresh eggs from their chooks. It’s a very convenient area to stay. Macksville is the closet town but it’s not far to Scotts Head & Grassy Head & Stuart’s Point; the beaches of Nambucca Heads; Bellingen and Bowraville. We also drove to the Pub With No Beer in Taylors Arm. We look forward to returning to the property and we offer fellow travellers this advice... if you are lucky enough to find the house free for your dates, book without hesitation.
