Blake's Places is an oasis of peace and quiet set away from the towns, within 20 Klms from the beach, the lake, the mountains and the quaint rural villages of the Northern Rivers. It is neat, clean, minimal in design but well equipped and has a delicious restful vibe. The back deck looks over an old established garden with a strip of remnant rain forest that is full of birds and butterflies and even on the hottest afternoon, the breeze through the trees on the back deck is cooler than air conditioning. Nearby lake Ainsworth is full of black Tea Tree spring water, much prized for its healing properties. Blake was a careful and thoughtful host and we felt well looked after.
