We are busy family from Sydney. We both work full time and have 2 primary school children.
We spent 3 nights in Living with Nature and all I can say is wow!!! What a wonderful break we had! We profoundly enjoyed every minute spent on Scott’s property, which includes not only an amazing house, but a very well kept surrounding – garden if you like, with abundance of plants, like bananas, passion fruit, grapes, lemon tree, just to name few. There is also a vegetable garden you are welcome to use. The house itself is as described, nice and comfortable, and while 8 people can comfortably sleep in it, I was glad we didn’t share it with friends. It was nice to have a house just for us. The place was immaculately clean and linen and towels provided. Master bedroom is the main feature of the house, but I must say the balcony wrapped around the house overlooking mountains and ocean is lovely too. There is a barbeque area and the big dining table at the back of the garden, for the whole party to have a meal together. All together the place is aesthetically pleasing and Scott obviously had put lots of thoughts put into designing it. While some people may not appreciate this approach in design and living, no one in their right mind can deny the place its authenticity and beauty.
The Scots Head’s village is 3 km away and it beautiful in its simplicity. Local surf club offers buffet dinner for $10 and sell beer/wine for $4 which you can enjoy on the balcony while watching children play at the beach.
If you are after low key, simple holiday and looking forward to spend few days or longer barefoot and wearing only kaftan dress or shorts, then this is a place to be definitely. With friendly hosts, reasonable price, flexible policies on checking in and out, no ties to days spent, flexible cancellation and instant booking, I’m sure Scott’s place will soon be booked all year around. All together, it was a great break for my family. Children enjoyed quality time with us, and it was definitely worth 5h drive from Sydney. Thank you again Scot and Annie! See you around October again
