This is possibly the nicest Airbnb we have ever stayed in (and we have stayed in more than 50 Airbnb places all over the world as we travel for work sometimes).
The reason it is so special:
Very friendly and relaxed and open hearted genuine hosts.
Attention to detail (every little thing like the amazing breakfast left out for us and the extra fluffy and comfy linen and beds and flowers etc etc).
The house and grounds are magical and really special - luxurious but also homely (the double shower is exquisite).
The location is so great because it is very peaceful but also very close to the beach and town and Bellingen is just up the road with all its lovely cafes and things to do.
The value for money here is the best I have come across on Airbnb.
It is advertised as 'private room' but really you get a whole cottage/house to yourself because the house is divided into two wings and the section we rented was completely self contained and private so it is more like renting a whole house but with the added bonus of having lovely hosts nearby in case you need them.
The place was bright and airy and spotlessly clean to hotel standards.
The place would suit a lovely romantic retreat for a couple but it also really suited us as a family with two young kids. The upstairs bedroom is nicely set up for young kids with little fluffy toys to cuddle and lovely kids linen. The property is very child friendly and has baby chicks and lovely birds and other animals for the kids to see.
The hosts Marina and David love kids so you will feel very welcome if you come as a family and there are two separate bedrooms so there is plenty of space for a whole family.
We loved it so much that we have booked again to come back and I only wish we could have stayed longer.
Book this place and you won't regret it! I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars.
