We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. The absolute peaceful surroundings and wildlife and bird life was so wonderful. We fully chilled out. The bed was super comfy and cosy. There was so much space and as it was a bit cold, Carolyn had lit the fire for our arrival, which we both really appreciatd. I did take advantage of the bath and had a lovely relaxing soak. We both wish we could have stayed a few more days here. Everything we needed was there and we could tell Carolyn has great pride in presenting her property. It was just perfect.

Walkabout Cottage

We loved our time here, so comfortable with everything we needed. The wood burning fire just made our stay so special. The area is so beautiful with lots of places to visit, Port Macquarie, Bellingen, Nambucca, Scotts Head, & Grassy Head. We will definitely come back to this beautiful place.

Tranquil & peaceful area

It was wonderful pulling up to the property and seeing approximately 15 wallabies in the paddock surrounding the property. Beautiful and quiet location surrounded by wildlife and bushland but not too far away from the beach. It was a lovely 2 day stay.

'Walkabout' A tranquil setting amongst nature in lovely accommodation

This lovely accommodation is spacious airy, comfortable, spotlessly clean and well appointed, it was a delight to stay in this tranquil private setting. We enjoyed the walkabout around the property and watching the birdlife from the two balconies overlooking the lily pond - with the backdrop of the tall gum trees beyond, the setting reminded me of an Australian version of Monet's waterlilies!

We loved our few days in this little retreat. The cottage was homey and comfortable and contained all we needed. The decks on different sides of the house meant we could best enjoy the weather at different times of the day and from them we loved seeing the huge trees, the horses and the birds. Beds were comfortable and bedding suited the time of year. We arrived just after dark, and the cottage was cold. There was a log fire with chopped wood if we had decided we needed it. Over the weekend we left curtains opened and the sun warmed it really nicely, so we didn't need heating in the evenings. We would love to visit again at another time.

The Pond

The house was quite comfortable, with every window opened to the greenery all around. The pond was great to observe the ducks, the different birds. The kangaroos were a treat. It was fun to guess the different calls, even got a photo of the Azure kingfisher in all its beauty. Watching the horses grazing made a picture of peacefulness. In a way, it was okay to be off grid, but its a place we would love to return to again.

Beautiful aspect but needs attention to important details

The two outdoor setting were really good. It was great to be able to look at the National Park out of the rain. The double bed was comfortable. The overall design of the cottage was great. It was clean and well supplied with crockery and cutlery. The bathroom was well designed, good washing machine and dryer. Suggestions: We have asked around and the following is considered to be part of the normal letting criterion and what we have experienced in the past. 1. The owners let the guests know 10 - 14 days in advance information regarding how to find the property and how to obtain the keys so that the guests do not have to contact Stayz on the Friday prior to the Monday of arrival. 2. Most guests have travelled and a "Welcome Pack" of disposables ( tea bag , coffee sachets small milk) gives a welcoming atmosphere. 3.Bearing in mind the current Covid climate soap should be provided. There was no information to say that soap was not provided. 4. There were no up to date hardcopies of the maps of the local area... bearing in mind that there was no internet this was a handicap. 5. We found a flyer in the house which gave details of a contact phone number, which was not answered until after we had booked out. 6. The dining room table which had suffered water damage in the past had not been made good leaving an un hygienic surface. 7.The DVD player was not functioning properly. It swallowed our DVD disc which we would like to be returned to us if possible. 8. For the rent that we were paying a second hand towel would be a good idea.

Lovely place in grassy

Great little place away from wifi and phone reception. Peaceful, great stars. Took a few wrong turns to find- go right at the start of the hill! If we’d followed the signs would have been fine. Great to have a wood fire and close to beach (but you’d need a car or bike to get there, if you have kids)

Restful and secluded

This property was so beautiful. It was so quiet and peaceful, and suited us perfectly. We wanted something different from the noisy atmosphere of the nearby resorts and this place certainly didn’t disappoint. The only drawback is that phone service is unavailable, but this gave us an even more peaceful holiday.

Relaxing by the fire, listening to the native birds chirping and looking out at the white gums of the national park which borders the property. We had a lovely time, thank you.
