Lorraine is a warm-hearted person who spoils her guests with an abundance of extra things and great thoughtfulness. Hot muffins, raspberry jam and wide selection of different teas was one of the many delights awaiting me.
The unit is separate from the house and there is a balcony at which one can eat and gaze out onto the friendly surroundings. It is very easy unit to live in with everything to hand.
Coffs Harbour has not been overrun, it has space and charm, but is large enough to have all that one might want. There is an excellent Coles within walking distance.
The pretty harbour has Muttonbird Island at the far end which is a breeding ground of the Wedge-tailed Shearwater. They return to their burrows in the spring, in their thousands. The adults fish in the day and return to their respective burrows after dark. Noisily.
There are a number of spectacular easily reached headlands nearby.
Lorraine took me to one which was overrun with kangaroos. So if you have had difficulty in seeing this unique hopper, this is the place for you. Amazing.
The golf course is a good standard and they fitted me in despite having a competition for 200 men on. That is very rare in my experience when it would have so easy to turn me away. The greens are like a billiard table, and a good speed. You will have no excuses if the white ball refuses to drop.
A number of sandy beaches for easy swimming are within comfortable reach.
