Honestly this is the best airbnb of all time! Such a unique and special experience staying here! The property is filled with antiques from all over the world, each with their own energy and story to tell. The place itself was a wonder just to explore! We particularly loved stumbling across the costume box with vintage furs and hats of gentry! We shared beautiful meals around the great feating table, each prepared in the absolutely perfectly appointed kitchen (literally anything you could want or need to create a feast).
While the house itself was even better than we could have anticipated, it was Rache and her partner Andre’s hospitality and warmth that really made our stay that much more special. We’d planned to head to Bellingen area for a festival, which ultimately got flooded and postponed to next year. Our group decided to cruise down for the long weekend anyway, despite the generous option Rache presented for cancellation at half price due to the circumstances. We spent the rainy weekend playing inside, enjoying cups of tea by morning and margaritas by evening by the fire. On our last day, when the sun finally came out, Rache gave us late check out to stay a while longer and actually enjoy the magic of the creek in the sun! The rope swing, princess seated swing, and giant picnic mat they have down there for guests are SO great! Rache shared a soulful cacao ceremony with us on the property, and Andre came and did a DJ set for us in the Great Hall. They kept us topped up with firewood for the weekend when town ran out and supplied a delish spread for brekkie! It was just the best. Cannot recommend this place and Rache any higher! We’ll be back for sure! <3
