We had really relaxing and comfortable week at Ananda over New Years. Anika was an unobtrusive host who made us feel welcome through thoughtful little touches. We spent much of our time just hanging out and enjoying the open space, lush bush setting and cool daily breeze coming in from the verandah. The place was a little older than what we assumed from the photos but it didn't matter at all as it was totally spotless, clean and stylishly furnished. The location was secluded but very close to Bangalow village which we enjoyed more that the hustle bustle of Byron. Definitely the holiday we were hoping for!
