If you are looking for a relaxing getaway in one of the most beautiful parts of Australia, I would heartily recommend The Bales in the Bellinger valley. The accommodation is a converted milking shed privately situated away from the main house which is one of the oldest in the area. Sarah is the perfect hostess and the cottage is well-equipped with everything required for a comfortable stay including kitchen utensils and yummy breakfast components. Situated between Bellingen and the coast (Mylestom, Urunga,hungry Head, Sawtell) it would best suit a couple looking for an authentic "back to nature" experience. Rooster, green tree frogs, friendly old dog are all included.
It suited us perfectly and we will no doubt return.
