Lovely place in the rainforest. Refreshing cool pool and birdsong. Our hosts were lovely and the accommodation had all we needed. Google Maps took us to a different property in town so double check ;) Don’t forget your insect repellent.

Lovely unit built under the hosts home. Own private entry. Only saw the hosts on arrival. Lovely outlook onto bush land. Well stocked. The bed was comfy and good water pressure. I stayed in winter and the heater and air conditioner heated the place easily. Close to Bangalow and Byron. Would highly recommend.

We visited from NZ, staying 6 nights and look forward to coming again!It was particularly tranquil, peaceful and private as well as being nicely presented. The bird life was great to listen to and the rainforest enchanting. We also loved being so close to the delightful Bangalow village and managed to coincidentally time our stay with the annual Billy Cart race - great to experience!Gill and Peter were the ideal hosts and we were made to feel very comfortable. We could not recommend this place more highly!
