I booked myself a Christmas break. I wanted to stay out of Byron but still in the area, to get to beaches, waterfalls and national parks. I felt like I was staying at a resort. I had a half house to myself with plenty of space and morning swims in the swimming pool. I was blissed out the entire stay and highly recommend staying with Linda and Alan who are both warm and friendly hosts. I will be back when I am in the area again.
