Neil and Ann's accommodation was just as promised - well set-up and functional, very clean, comfortable and with a pleasant, laid-back feel just right for Lennox Head. Check in was easy, thanks to Ann providing some extra items to help me settle in. The house is indeed up the hill, the photos don't do the aspect justice! I did have a car and was spared the walk up, which may not be such a problem for others younger and fitter than me.
I travelled during the recent big floods, arriving late and leaving early due to problems with flights, access etc. so I will be back another time to fully explore this beautiful part of Australia.
Thank you so much, Ann and Neil, for making a somewhat disrupted trip much better - your kindness and advice was very appreciated and provided much peace of mind.
