We absolutely loved our stay at The Bales. Sarah was a wonderful host, communicating regularly with us throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed, but respecting our privacy. The space is neat, clean and welcoming; the surroundings are peaceful; the kitchen well stocked with basics and the bed amazingly comfortable. If you are after a delightful rustic escape, that is centrally located to rivers, beaches, mountains and tourist drives, then this is the place for you.
