What a magical place. We felt very lucky to be on beautiful Gumbaynggirr land, with its incredible rainforests, mountains, and waters. The River Room sits with great care and respect in its landscape, and invites you to listen, to be still, and to become slowly attuned to its rhythms. It is both very simple and utterly luxurious. We definitely felt the Winter chill, but Tahnee and Melissa took great care to make sure we were cosy (Kirsty was away when we visited). We loved having a fire one night in the fire pit, cooking in the outdoor kitchen, and also visiting local Bellingen with its many cafes, restaurants, and a great bookshop. And even though it was Winter, we could not resist jumping into the clear bright water for a swim on a couple of days! I came with high expectations, and was not disappointed. One good tip if you are visiting in cold weather would be - bring a hot water bottle!
