Briarley's beach house was a wonderful, modern, and well-equipped place to spend a holiday. Try Cudgen Creek at Kingscliff if you have young kids and are looking for a lovely calm and swimming spot. The beach house is 20 minutes from the Gold Coast and 40 minutes from Byron Bay. There was never a shortage of things to do. The air conditioning was great to come back to after a summer's day.
Briarley was a fantastic host who lives next door. When we mentioned about the lack of a microwave, she popped over and lent us her own for the whole stay. She even provided us with beach toys which we had forgotten to bring for our kids. We wish we could have stayed longer.
