My family and I (5 adults) have just returned from a 5 day stay at Emma's house over Christmas, and had such a lovely break. The house is super comfortable and tastefully decorated - we loved the big, well-equipped kitchen, huge wrap around deck and fresh towels/bedding. The perfect house for hanging out in, lots of spots to sit/lay around, take in the view and breeze and relax. Wonderful views and cool in the summer heat. We loved Emma's chickens too, they were great company and gave us daily eggs!
Location is also 10/10 - hard to believe such a quiet spot is only a 5 min drive to Broken Head beach (a real hidden gem of a spot). The Suffolk Park shops are only a few minutes further and have everything you need, gourmet treats, BBQ chooks, bakery, Bottlo etc. A seriously great, relaxed pocket away from the crowds. Only a 10 minute drive into Byron, 15 mins to Lennox Heads and all their walks/lakes/beaches/eats.
Emma was a super helpful, responsive and easy going host also. She gave us some great tips and recommendations for the area, the best of which was Harvest at Newrybar. We had an amazing Christmas Eve lunch at Harvest Cafe, and took home the best bread we've ever eaten from the Harvest Bakery next door. There are so many delicious places to eat in the area but we found ourselves happy cooking and hanging out at the house.
Would definitely recommend a stay at Emma's place, we'll be back!
