We had a great time at Abigail's cottage. There are lots of options of things to do including walks and old towns or a trip to the beach or Byron Bay. Federal has a lovely atmosphere, don't miss the café with Japanese/Australian fusion food - it is a lovely place with lovely people and the food was great. The community hall seems to be busy too and there is a food truck (burger) on Thursdays.
We stayed in September after the floods happened, so be mindful of road and track closures, but we still found some lovely walks with beautiful scenery.
The fireplace was appreciated on the colder evenings.
Thanks for having us!
