Our best airbnb experience ever! Seriously, it will be hard for any other host to top Laurel, Philip and their wonderful family!
First something about the cabin. It's a specious, very neat, nicely decorated secluded 'chalet' in the hinterland of Yamba. It felt like a little sanctuary. We really appreciated the fact that Laurel had stocked the fridge with some basics for breakfast, so we didn't have to go out for breakfast the next morning. The coffee was also very nice (I believe it was from a local coffee place). The chalet has all the things you need for a very pleasant and comfortable stay.
Now something about the hosts. Since it was Christmas Day, Laurel and her family were so kind to invite us strangers in for the 'Christmas family dinner', and gosh were we lucky! Everyone was so kind to us and we felt really spoiled! There were presents, food, laughter and a whole lot of family traditions that we got to be a part of. Laurel, Philip, their kids and extended family are just the nicest and most inclusive people you will ever meet, and we felt so privileged to get to know them.
The next morning they took us surfing at the nearby beach, which was just the perfect closer to what already was a perfect stay. You just want to meet these people and spend some time with them.
We have made some really nice memories at the Samsara Bush retreat, I would recommend this chalet to everyone, and we will definitely be back here if we ever visit Australia again!
