Waratah is a beautiful town and I wish it wasn't so cold and raining otherwise would love to have gone for a walk. Unfortunately the night I arrived I was very cold and wet as had been walking in Cradle. There was a blackout in Waratah, so no electricity until next afternoon. So no drying clothes, hot meal or hot drinks and no lighting. Couldn't get hold of the host as he was flying. When the host found out he went out of his way to fix the situation with offers of gas stove, generator etc. By that time I had gone to bed to keep warm. The accommodation was great, everything you needed and more. Highly recommend it.
