John's property is exactly what I'd hoped for and everything I needed it to be - peaceful, calm and inviting. It was the perfect place to get away, take a breath and slow down. John was extremely thoughtful and had even gone to the trouble of lighting the fire before we arrived, as we got there after dark in the early evening. John's place is close enough to town that you can drive into Bellingen and spend the day exploring, or drive to the numerous beautiful national parks that surround the area. You can really tell how much consideration and love that John takes to welcome people to his property and that he enjoys sharing his piece of paradise with others. John is extremely knowledgable of the land and is willing to share his stories, but is also considerate of your space and knowns when you may just want to be by yourself. I cannot wait to come back in summer and swim in the river that runs through the property and again listen to the sounds of the rainforest as I sit in the spa on the deck. The bathroom overlooking the bush was a highlight in itself! You won't regret coming here.
