A perfect combination of professionalism and personal caring, Deb and Dave's overnight in Corindi Beach was relaxing because of the dozens of details they took care of before we arrived. From the design of the separate "unit" (bedroom, bath, living/kitchen combo, large outdoor sitting area) with many practical space decisions such as with an area between the shower and sink large enough to dry a bit of laundry... to the unbelievably comfortable bed... to the complete array of kitchen utensils and accessories... to the little dish of blueberries that waited for us when we arrived... it was clear that they put themselves in the shoes of travelers and took their role as hosts quite seriously. I cannot recommend their place highly enough.
We feel asleep to the sound of ocean waves. We saw the neighborhood kangaroos and two black cockatoos. We enjoyed the fruit juice, the muesli, the milk, the coffee, toasted english muffins. We cooked scrambled eggs on the hotplate and a pizza in the combo oven (eggs and pizza from a supermarket in Coffs; oven and frying pan provided by the hosts).
The location is excellent, just a few minutes off the Pacific Highway, walking distance to Corindi Beach, and walking distance to the local pub/inn.
For people with some time to spend in the area, Deb and Dave provided a thick notebook with brochures, restaurant menus and local maps.
The beauty of the presentation is not exaggerated in the photos on the airbnb web site. Both indoors and out, great care has been taken to give you joy and beauty as your gaze wanders. The unit was perfectly clean, and so much nicer than any hotel/motel. The feeling was like staying with a favorite aunt and uncle, who had great taste and a playful sense of humour.
