What can you say apart from wow, driving up to the Echidna you can feel the real world fall away, replaced with Byron rainforest and clean air. We were greeted like long lost friends by Ali at the door to this beautiful space and instantly felt ourselves relaxing and letting go of the every day.
Ali and Ian are generous hosts, sharing their energy and passion for the Byron Bay area and the environment through locally produced foods (yummy bread and amazing locally grown coffee) and eco conscious cleaning and personal products.
The Echidna is decorated in a way that is in synergy with the bush that surrounds it. Everything you need is at your fingertips so you can really just switch off.
Stoking up the fire, 'outdoor' evening baths, and candle lit hot chocolates all with the rain providing a most relaxing soundtrack were highlights for us. Properties like the Echidna are the reason we use airbnb, a bit of luxe and a space you wouldn't get to experience any other way.
Thank you Ali and Ian for a wonderful stay and an unforgettable experience.
