We loved The Bales! Sarah and Charlie are great hosts, providing everything you need for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The property is in a beautiful spot, surrounded by paddocks and a lovely garden. The river is just across the road. A beautiful bowl of fresh fruit, plus everything you need for breakfast, was provided. We loved the thoughtful inclusion of chocolates as a little luxury. The Bales is in a great spot for exploring the area, as the beach, Bellingen and other attractions are only a short drive away. We would highly recommend this property and will definitely be back. Thanks Sarah and Charlie!!
