Despite doing a last minute booking, James' place was exactly what my friends and I needed to recover from the inaccuracy of the previous AirBnB was stayed at. The separate house nestled on the back half of the property was beautifully decorated (the pictures don't do it justice) and you could tell Jame had put a lot of thought into designing it with guests' comfort in mind. He has an outdoor cat, Pushka, that came to greet us when we checked it but besides that we were given lots of privacy throughout our stay.
The local cafes are a great place to have brunch before walking over to the beach or the inlet (which locals call a creek) to hangout for the day. Since Pottsville is a bit further from Byron Bay or other popular tourists beaches, we found the beach at Pottsville to be a quiet escape and wonderfully picturesque. If you have a car and want to explore more of the area, there are also several nearby towns (about 15mins drive) with great cafe's and more beautiful beaches.
After a rocky start to the weekend, James' place was exactly what we needed. We hope we'll be able to come back again in the near future.
