A stay full of “Heartware” and less about the “Hardware”. While Ichiban Park is clean and spacious (furnished in a tasteful rustic Indonesian-Balinese style), it’s a no-frills albeit adequately equipped accommodation for a self-contained and comfortable stay. It has a great rural farm setting with unsurpassed views of the Nimbin Rocks volcanic outcrops, yet is just a kilometre from the eclectic town of Nimbin and its local characters. The star of Ichiban Park unequivocally is superhost Michael who was the warmest, friendliest and most honest and caring host we have come across in all our AirBNB stays around the world. We celebrated our daughter’s 21st birthday there and right from arrival we were delightfully surprised by his thoughtful gestures of a fresh fruit platter, a birthday card and a bag of goodies for the birthday girl. He even had ice cream and beer on standby for the celebration! I had heard about Michael’s aspiring culinary dessert skills so pre-ordered a surprise birthday cake for my daughter and he thoroughly blew us away with his incredibly scrumptious triple-stacked chocolate cointreau ganache cake. The next morning Michael made sure to keep spoiling us with his freshly homemade pineapple peach panacotta dessert which was heaven in every mouthful! We had Michael join the family for dinner at the town’s tavern (also great food) and enjoyed hearing about his vision for Ichiban Park, stories of the locals and amazing tips for just about anything. He is a walking Wikipedia! Ichiban Park is a work-in-progress with more units being upgraded but if you look beyond the grounds and see the heart, genuine warmth and outstanding hospitality that Michael offers and the smile on our family’s faces after the stay, you’ll know it’s well worth the sojourn at this Airbnb. Michael went above and beyond his role as host and exceeded our expectations in every possible way. He is truly the icing on the cake. Thanks Michael for hosting us on this wonderful stay and making our daughter’s birthday “the best she’s had by far!” Andrew and family.
