Shhhhh let’s keep this place a secret. A slice of heaven tucked away in the bush, just off the highway but seemingly worlds away, immersed in natural beauty. Cosy and comfortable with modern finishes, the luxurious accomodation is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Chris made us feel at home from the minute we arrived. She is an amazing host who took time out from the running of her busy farm to help us find our feet.
We were also welcomed by Breezer the unofficial farm manager. She’s a beautiful and gentle old cattle dog who escorted us around the farm and introduced us to the other residents - three friendly cows, a dozen timid alpacas, an assortment of wild birds, ducks and peacocks and some tiny orphaned kangaroo joeys in rehabilitation. Chris’ passion and dedication to the care of these animals is admirable.
The property is only 10-15 mins from a secluded and safe swimming beach (Shark Bay, Iluka) or 20 mins into Yamba. However, I found myself spending the afternoons on the deck, armed with a glass of wine, watching the wildlife. A simply breathtaking “tree change” for a couple of city slickers. Already planning our next visit!
