I highly recommend a stay at Magic Moons & Mornings; the view is absolutely spectacular, the surroundings lush & green, and the hosts, Garry & Suzy, and wonderfully warm, friendly & considerate people. The apartment has everything you will need, was very comfortable & homely - basic kitchen, comfy bed, couch & TV, ensuite bathroom & washing machine. The outdoor shower & bath is definitely something to embrace, not fear - it is very private, there is no-one around, surrounded by palms & ferns with views to the ocean & Byron lighthouse; it was such a beautiful experience each day. The location is ideal - less than 10 mins drive to Mullumbimby, 10 or so mins to the nearby beaches, approx. 20 mins to Byron. Mullum has some great cafes & restaurants, & I recommend a visit to the Kiva day spa. It's close enough to head into Byron for some dinner & to see a gig, but then retreat back to the hills away from the chaos of peak tourist season. One highlight was watching a lightning storm move over the ocean & the Byron lighthouse whilst lying in bed late one night.
Garry & Suzy were so friendly & open - happy to share information on great local places to eat, or near-secluded beaches. They're are doing some amazing things with the farm to help combat soil erosion, & promote more sustainable methods. It was great to get a better understanding of some of the local environmental issues, and to see someone doing something to preserve it.
All in all, we had a wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating week. Was glad we didn't choose to stay any closer to Byron town, because this was perfect - quiet, private, lush, beautiful & close to everything we needed. Thanks Garry & Suzy, we'll be back for sure.
