The Bales was a beautifully presented renovated milking shed that was super cozy! The view was stunning, with a wonderfully comfortable bed, a lovely clean kitchen and bathroom, as well as a living room. The bedroom was stocked with books, games and DVDS. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with basic items - milk, eggs, jam, butter, bread, wine - which made settling in that much easier. The Bales was twenty minutes in one direction from Bellingen and the Never Never river swimming spots, and then ten minutes from the beach in the other direction. Hope to be back!
