Our stay at the Bales was such a wonderful experience, exactly what we needed for a relaxing week away from Sydney. Sarah and Charlie were the most thoughtful, generous and friendly hosts. It was so lovely to meet people like themselves. The Bales itself is a very quiet, restful and comfortable cottage in a rural setting - cows, sheep, chickens, frogs and two lovely dogs. It is spotless with fresh towels, linen, a great kitchen and a very comfortable bed. Sarah so kindly provided fresh bread, eggs and other breakfast items and we loved that all products used and provided in the Bales were organic and / or locally sourced.
Just outside of Bellingen town, it was so lovely to come home to a place like The Bales after a busy day exploring the area. There is so much to do in the Bellingen / Dorrigo area and Sarah provided so much insider information as to where the best beaches were, where to eat etc.
We very much look forward to planning another stay as we are already missing The Bales, Blossom, Koko and Marty. Thank you Sarah!
