New Brighton was the perfect quite holiday destination and we loved our stay in Anne's house. Lovely and bright with plenty of space on the deck an on the house. The kitchen was well appointed and modern so we were able to cook great meals for ourselves while we were there and the location had easy access to both the beach and the river for swimming. It was only a short drive to Brunswick Heads, as well as easy access to the Nightcap national park which has some wonderful walks. Anne was a great host and easy to communicate with the whole time.
The only drawback was that it was very hot while while we were there and the house gets a bit warm without air conditioning. If you left the windows open it cooled down enough to be comfortable in the evenings for us, and we spent our days outside where the light sea breeze was enough to keep us cool. But if you are sensitive to the heat it could be an issue.
