Romantic and private The Mango Factory is the prefect destination for couples. Appointed to 5 star standard it is the perfect place for romance, relaxation and rejuvenation. Wendy is a wonderful host who is always available should you require, otherwise you will neither see nor hear another person while there. All you can hear is the soothing sound of waves breaking on nearby Grassy Beach.
Everything has been thought of and the styling reflects a host who has exquisite taste and pays close attention to every detail. The bed and mossie net were lovely, so were other touches such as toiletries and even his and her robes. Wow, some five star hotels don't even supply this. The deck is enormous and features the modern sunken spa, BBQ and picnic table and a huge day bed and comfy deck chairs. Wifi was good and so was the Smart TV. The Kitchen has everything you need including a nice size fridge. Phone reception was adequate.
The deck is so special, three levels and shaded by the most magnificent Fern tree it has all the feel of a tropical paradise. The outlook from the deck is entirely private with views to distant mountains. You can stroll through Wendy's garden and pick your own fruit should you wish, or just sit on the deck and watch the clouds drift over.
There is a bottle shop/grocer and take away at Stuarts Point, a 5 minute drive away. The take away is good and a mini auto shop as well, and you can get everything you need there including fuel, car batteries and everything you could need on a road trip. Take away Pizza's and good coffee as well. Next to the Caravan Park at Stuarts Point is a public boat ramp and pedestrian bridge to access the beach as well.
Nearby beaches are lovely and you can also access them through Grassy Head Caravan Park which has day parking and nice clean amenities. During summer school holidays this beach had lifeguards on duty. You can 4wd on the southern beach and access it via the Caravan Park. Macksville is 20 minutes to the north and has Woollies, nice pubs, pharmacies etc. Otherwise Kempsey is about 40 minutes south. This is a rural location close to the coast so pack some Aeroguard or Rid.
The Mango Factory now sits atop of our must return list.
