We enjoyed our stay with Rebecca who was friendly and welcoming. So was her lovely dog! Initially we were worried that the open-plan living would be a problem with insects, ants and other creepy crawlers, especially during the night as you cannot close the apartment off completely, only the two bedrooms and the kitchen. But we needn't have worried - there were no mosquitos, no flies, nothing at all. Given the hot temperatures and high humidity, we enjoyed the breezes that came in, making the heat and humidity bearable.
Bangalow is a lovely little place and the apartment is within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Much better than being in Byron Bay which is completely overrun by tourists and very busy. As the apartment is on the main road, you could hear the hum of the traffic, but we were not too bothered by it and it was fairly quiet in the night.
The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you need. There is also a nice little balcony at the back where you can dry your washing. We stayed three nights and therefore had plenty of time to enjoy the lovely Hinterland and the numerous beaches in the area.
