Denene and Mak were great hosts made me feel very welcomed and at home. It was a different and unique experience outside of my comfort zone that I loved so much. They were happy for me to do my own thing which I enjoyed. When I first arrived I thought oh no what have I got myself in for but instead it was great, private despite shared common areas and I had my best sleep for months. I was able to help myself to tea and fruit. Shower was good as well. The next day I saw them on the street and we had a great chat. I felt a part of Bellingen despite being a total stranger and different to the culture of the community. It’s well worth the experience to spend a night at this place and either side of that in Bellingen. It’s also right across the road from the impressive Old Butter Factory. Thanks Denene and Mak both very fine and friendly people who showed genuine care in me.
