The Potters Cottage was so what I wanted from Bangalow. I came to the town wanting a more unique experience than Byron, and this was certainly the case. The place is rustic, loads of distressed wood and corrugated iron walls, which shows a lovely creativity. Yes, the living room is an enclosed verandah, but not once did I feel like it was outdoors at all. The rain on the roof sounded lovely, and the plonk of the ripe fruit on the footpath, mixed with the smell of jasmine as I entered was divine. I was a little concerned about safety before I arrived, however it was totally hidden at the back of the block and that made me relax. The water was hot, the TV was huge, the beds were comfy, the gas stove was massive and the place was really clean and well maintained. I LOVED that the bowls and cups and plates were handmade by Rebecca, and that the fridge was stocked with fresh eggs, bread, butter, milk and choccy when I arrived. Myself and my two preschool kids could easily walk in to town to pick up dinner and visit the farmers markets on Saturday morning, and have a candlelit bath afterwards (with the candles also made by Rebecca). Our kids Loved Darth Vader the cuddly dog, and the two friendly cats. The photos don't really do it justice. One point to note is that there seems to be quite a few trucks on the road out the front at night, however being at the back of the block meant it was a distant sound. Thoroughly recommended.
