Beautiful location - exactly what I was looking for. Close enough that it's an easy car ride to Byron Bay and Ballina, but far enough that I could retreat into the Hinterland at night. The close proximity to lovely Newrybar was a bonus.
If you are hiring a car, I would highly recommend something a bit bigger than a small car/sedan to get there - some of the roads are a bit hairy. Michael is very nice, and ready with local suggestions should you want them, but at my request mostly left me to my own devices.
I will be really honest and say I could have done without all of the daddy-long-legs spiders inside and it would have been really nice to have some extra linen (tea towel, face washer and a hand towel would have been great) But otherwise a pleasant experience.
