We were passing through on our way to Mackay where we have just moved. We had our dog Max with us and he was obviously more than welcome. Jeffrey and Deb have a lovely dog called Mike, who Max fell into a deep and immediate bromance with! They became best friends straight away which was awesome to see! The whole property is fully fenced so the dogs could run around all day and we didn't need to worry about Max escaping.
Jeffrey and Deb's property is absolutely stunning. The huge backyard with the lush grass and trees, little duck pond and gorgeous firepit area are to die for. The sun was shining during our stay and it was quiet, relaxing and exactly what we needed after a long day of driving. They were unbelievably welcoming hosts and Jeffrey gave us a run down of everything when we arrived. There was ample parking for both of our cars plus the trailer my husband was towing. Jeffrey helped us configure our parking so it was easy to get out.
The apartment is beautifully styled with antiques, books and arty elements, but modern touches make it extra comfortable, like the coffee machine, Apple TV and WiFi. The bath was heavenly, and the bed was very, very comfortable. There is no air conditioning, but there are fans that do a great job of cooling the place down, and it did get cooler overnight so we were fine. There are heaters provided for when it's really cold.
We got fish and chips from the tiny local town Uranga, which was idyllic during the sunset over the river. If we had been staying for longer than one night, we would have checked out the nice restaurant that overlooked the river. Unfortunately, this time we just drove past it. A cute breakfast was provided for the morning with nice bread, jam and butter as well which was a lovely touch. Sitting on the little sun-soaked deck and comfortable armchairs, we didn't want to leave!
We 100% recommend Jeffrey and Deb's place if you're in the area! Thank you so much guys!
