When you arrive the accommodation is almost hidden from view down a little path, and not until you enter the main room and view the garden beyond do you get the full beauty of this residence. However, it is not until you venture into and beyond the garden that you realise how magical a place to stay it is. Beyond the living area past two massive sliding window doors is a tropical garden straight out of Bali and a shaded path leads you over a small hill to the splendid, pristine expanse of white sand that is Tallow Beach. Sparsely populated with beach goers this beach is enormous, its hard not to feel like you have it to yourself most the time. 7-8 am seemed to be a dog walking rush hour with owners taking their lucky pooches for a frolic (all friendly and well managed!), but the rest of the day a few dog walkers and the odd jogger were all that shared the beach with us. The house itself was entirely straight forward and supplied with everything you might need but hadn't packed. The thoughtful touches of plasters and cotton buds, laundry powder and milk were wonderful (especially when traveling with 4 children). Not to mention the deluxe basket of gifts of local fare, tea and coffee and a bottle of bubbles that my husband gratefully enjoyed! The beds and pillows super comfortable, linen and towels beyond expectations. The beautiful kitchen is stocked with all the essentials to make life easy, cooking for a family was a breeze, combined with the AMAZING local produce from the farmers market. All the white ware provided is easy to work and instructions were clear and straight forward (this is important when you just want to relax). The DVD library is stuffed with classics my three oldest children had a great time getting an 80's/90's movie education over the two weeks! When the beach day was done there was a games drawer with playing cards and books to suit everyone's tastes. We never tired of exploring the local area, the Bangalow and Byron farmers markets, the Channon, the skate park, the playgrounds, the tea tree lake, the walks, the beach pond at Byron Bay, the whales and dolphins that seemed to pass by daily, the many beautiful beaches within five to ten minutes drive, the Suffolk Bakery and their great pastries and coffee, the great local pizza place, fish and chip place, Tuesday night curry at the Yellow Flower, we watched a local football match Nimbin v Suffolk park just up the road, Byron Bay and all its swanky shops and restaurants, The Top Shop burgers for lunch. All this in your back yard. This place was like the ultimate relaxing playground and we soaked up everything it had to offer in two weeks of gorgeous sunshine and perfect temperatures...could I say more? BRILLIANT PLACE, LOVED IT!!
