Rae, our host, made us feel very welcome from her warm greeting when we first arrived and discovered some extra goodies in the fridge! The listing description was accurate, 'though in real life it is even better than the description. The neighbourhood is wonderful - peaceful in the immediate vicinity, then very friendly and interesting in the village - the terrific Bellingen Jazz Festival was on, as well as one of the regular, colourful local markets. We will be back, yet again, and would also strongly recommend this lovely place.
