Laura's place served as the perfect base for our weekend getaway. After a miscommunication with another potential host at a different home, Laura was able to have us stay at her place very last minute; was easy-going and easy to communicate with - even rushing back from town to facilitate an earlier check in for us. It was a delight when we arrived to meet Laura and her playful chocolate Labrador, May.
The place itself is, in our opinion, even better than the photos. Laura herself has evidently put a lot of thought and care into its decoration; and has given it a minimalistic and sleek appearance whilst still feeling 'beachy'. It's walls are artfully decorated with illustrations (by Laura herself?) and well-thought out nooks for relaxation, including a wonderful hanging chair and a comfortable couch outdoors with views which capture the ocean. The place adjoins Laura's home; however with its own private entrance still feels very secluded. It resides at the very top of a hill in Suffolk Park, about a five minute drive from the local shops and the beach, and a 10 minute drive from Byron Bay. This place therefore strikes a balance between proximity and convenience; as well as seclusion and privacy. Laura has everything you would need in her well-stocked kitchen including a stove and a large fridge, plus coffee machine, if you didn't want to leave the house. The bottle of red and chocolates were unnecessary, but a delightful treat on arrival. Could not recommend this place highly enough!
