Valerie is a lovely person very helpful, kind and considerate. We loved staying at Val’s place - the view is beautiful and unexpected - a virtual lush rainforest with tall palms and huge mango tree in full fruit. The garden area is absolutely charming we loved sitting out there in the evening with a glass of wine listening to all the frogs - we are Italian so we enjoy ‘la dolce vita’. It was a great base in which to explore the region as it’s central to the coast and inland rainforests. We went to Kings Beach, Protesters Falls, Bangalow, Channon Markets, Border Ranges, Victoria Park all are stunning. There are great places to eat in Lismore town and the Visitor Information Center is a must - beautiful image rich informative panels with linked places to go - best visitor center I have ever seen! Also has a great rainforest display. Definitely recommend staying at Vals. 👌👍🤗
