We had a wonderful time exploring the coast north of Sydney over the bank holiday. Clare and David are the most attentive hosts you could ask for! They were very understanding of our delayed arrival and very communicative the whole time. Clare's directions were outstanding in getting us to the retreat and helped us to navigate the surrounding area when we didn't have our phones. Clare even welcomed us with a bottle of bubbles for one of the girls for her birthday! So sweet. On top of this, the continental breakfast provided each morning was a fantastic start to the day with warm croissants, fruit and yoghurt. And a cheeseboard was provided on our last night which was so great - well needed after days of walking and beaches.
The property is right next to their home so if you need anything or have questions then they are right on hand! The interior of the cabin is absolutely beautiful with so many thoughtful touches. It's cosy, perfect for a group, and the electric blankets were a must in winter! They made our stay so much more comfortable, as did the powerful heater in the main room. The kitchen was just enough to be able to provide a meal for four with a counter-top grill/oven and a single self-heating fry pan.
The pool, though absolutely freezing was a welcome addition to our trip. And the grounds surrounding the property are so peaceful, David gave us a fantastic tour and explained all the wildlife and plants that you could see around. It was so peaceful and just lovely for us all to be somewhere so quiet.
All in all we had a wonderful time and can't thank Clare and David enough for their hospitality and local tips. We may be back one day!
