We came as paying guests and left as friends. Just after sunset, we were greeted by the super friendly host Michael who started the crackling fire for us and who just quickly made a cake for us. We simply couldn't believe our luck! What a nice welcome!The kids kept on asking if he really just did it for us? YES! He did....Everything as described. Big house. Stunning views. Yes, there are rusty things on the property - but it was great for our children to see how things can be recycled and not just thrown away. (So please ignore those rude other comments from other guests). I loved the view, and the hammock. Kids loved the chucks and ducks. Lovely and interesting discussions with Michael and his friend John. Both very knowledgeable people. John shared his wealth of gardening knowledge, which I really appreciated, and his nature walk on the massive (!) property. The water wasn't always super hot (due to lack of sun), but Michael quickly gave us a water urn to heat water for a bath for our children. Quick drive into town. We loved the pizza place. And the market in Lismore. Needless to say that we loved our stay - we all had a fabulous time and even the kids keep talking about Michael and John and the stay. Many thanks. Let's hope we can be back soon!
