The Patch is every bit as good as the other reviews. From Carl's hospitality and friendliness, to the unique and beautifully decorated house, to the most wonderful /magical yard and outdoor space. We walked far and long each morning along the road in each direction. We explored Byron's beaches, Bangalow and beyond (great bush walks recommended by Carl). The Neighbour's puppies delighted our children with their frequenting. While the tree houses, pool and outdoor cinema provided endless entertainment. We were a late entry into Fleet (thanks again Carl for the recommendation!) and enjoyed Dinner at Wild Harvest, in Newrybar. The chance to chill and be a million miles away, yet to literally be so close to everything, was just what we needed. We thoroughly recommend staying at The Patch. We'll be back (provided Carl and his family let us!) Christa and Shaun
