Valerie’s place is among the most tranquil places we have stayed in. Some wonderful features of the place are a great location (do not miss the views of the city at night), overlooking a tropical rainforest, a beautiful garden, some gorgeous pets Coco & Russel, a great view from the kitchen (which is very well equipped), a nice collection of books, not very far from grocery stores, some really good restaurants (Valerie provides some great recommendations), absolutely clean & not very far from Byron Bay. I believe Lismore is a great base to explore the Byron shire. We absolutely enjoyed our stay & would highly recommend it to all. We were lucky to be able to book this gorgeous home. It made our trip truly special.
