Wow this was a fantastic holiday. Have been to many places overseas and in Australia but we enjoyed this the most!
The house is very spacious, well-furnished and modern with amazing views from both decks. From the front deck one can see the ocean and hear the amazing sound of the waves, the natural reserve woods is right in front of the house with colourful birds (often spotted on the deck) and their chirps, we often spotted kangaroos as well. At night the brilliant night sky view from the open front deck will dazzle you with the endless stars.
The back deck has a bit ocean views as well as trees and beautiful mountainous views where the sun sets. I really liked viewing the sunsets in the mountains so this was my favourite spot. House has all amenities one large master bedroom with en suite and opens onto back deck, 3 normal bedrooms, 1 media room and a large living area, lovely kitchen to cook and amazing wooden floor boards. The house has 2 TVs and a piano for entertainment. The house is well ventilated and breezy and rooms have fans but we didn’t need them.
Within 3 minutes the road ends and then a gravel road shortly leads to leads to the beach where there is a beautiful creek/lagoon that is ideal for family with kids that don’t want to venture in the sea. The creek is ideal for body boarding, kayaking, using paddle boats or just swimming (make sure to stay away from the mouth of the creek). We managed to rent a pro fishing kayak and kids boats from the host for a reasonable price and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the place.
Valla is mostly a boutique country side suburb that is private, we also visited nearby Urunga, Nambucca heads shopping and its beaches, Maxwell, Saw Tell was another nice place we enjoyed and Bellingen was a lovely country town to tour. Kids enjoyed Big Banana in Coffs Habour and wanted to keep going back. The Dorigo bushwalk was nice too and Armidale is another town to visit as well.
The host was very nice and the accommodation was very reasonably priced for our family. We and kids had so much fun here and will be definitely going there again!
