My husband and I just spent four nights at Helens place. The "flat" is situated under Helens home (which is modern and immaculate). The guest access is very private via the side of the house, so you're not running into your host all the time (not that that would be a bad thing because Helen is just so sweet and helpful). There is a brand new well sized kitchen where you enter, with the brand new bathroom opposite. Then you walk into the lounge area which has a leather lounge and little eating table. Then a well sized bedroom with lots of clothing space.
The kitchen and bathroom are SO well stocked with necessities in the fridge. There are two oil heaters that work quickly. I work in accommodation and I don't think I could find a thing that Helen has missed. We were so comfortable and happy.
This is definitely couples only accommodation....no room for a third. It's not mega spacious and there are no views (in case the lead photo gives you that impression). But we were there to go boating on the river, so we were out most of the day and when we returned it was a cosy nest. It was really easy to park our car and boat right out the front....no problems at all. Helen's is close to two boat ramps and we putted up to Yamba one day and then Maclean the next. Loved it.
Short drive into town....not walking distance. But that's good because it was so quiet. Had the best sleep. Oh, and Helen has a pool and hot tub that guests are welcome to use. And in front of Helens there is a little love seat where you can it with a glass of wine and cheese plate and look at the river and the moon.
Going to Grafton? Just the two of you? This is the place to go.
