The Patch is a kind of place we love Airbnb for. The house is very cosy and comfortable and it has a truly special vibe. We loved the decoration, the colors, the beautiful perfumed candles, the choice of books, magazines and cook books, the perfectly well equipped kitchen, the quality beddings.... And the outdoor spaces are just amazing! An endless garden to explore, giant swings on every tree, a tree house, a deck for yogis (!) and even a mud slide for the kids! Carl has left us everything for our first few breakfasts, delicious sourdough, eggs, fresh fruits, bacon, milk, juice, home-made muesli, etc and also some gooddies for the kids. He also provided us with plans, guides, information about places to visit, shopping and he shared with is his favorite coffee shop addresses, so we were not wasting our time looking for the perfect place for our brunch...
Umbrella, bodyboard, snorkeling equipment, firewood, even beach towel were available for use, we appreciated this extra attention.
We had the privilege to be the gardiens of a beautiful cat called Willow and it was definitely one of the highlights for our 3 children.
We loved having our glass of wine around the fire pit while admiring the sunset. Also getting some berries from the local farms and prepare our own smoothies and milkshake in the Vitamix.
The hinterland of Byron is beautiful and we preferred it to the coast (it took us 10mn to get to the beaches). It's a good idea to have something warmer to wear, as the Patch is in the hills and the mornings can be a bit cooler then in the town.
The only problem was... that we had to leave.
We highly recommend The Patch.
