It was a spontaneous decision to drive with my 8 month old puppy from Melbourne to the Byron Bay area to visit my daughter.
I needed pet friendly accommodation, with stable internet so as I could work full time for a 4 week visit…
It was serendipitous that I booked Villa Jalan a gorgeous boutique cottage in Bangalow, a peaceful haven, a perfect 20 minute drive from Byron Bay.
Villa Jalan is perfectly appointed with everything one needs, and very comfortable. Plus, as promised, a stable internet connection.
I especially loved the private front porch and sunny garden. Special mention must go to the incredible beds with such sumptuous linen!
Heidi the owner, is a gem! Beyond helpful and accommodating with my occasional requests.
I was very anxious about bringing a puppy, but Heidi reassured me not to worry (and being a dog owner herself) the space is very dog friendly and perfectly safe for dogs.
Behind the property is a lovely park and creek and a few 100 metres away is the Bangalow Sports Fields with a lovely path that we walked most days.
It’s a stones though away from the Bangalow Village, which meant on most days, I walked to the cafes for breakfast before my work day started.
On Saturday there is a farmers market, a 5 minute walk away.
This is one of those special places that you don’t come upon very often and as such I am already planning my next stay.
Thank you Heid for your hospitably.
