Beautiful place

Was working so couldn't spend time enjoying the place except for early in the morning when there was a wonderful chorus and little wrens coming up to the window. Had a great stay.

Excellent accommodation close to Coffs Harbour

If you are looking for a new, clean, well designed, quiet and well located property, then this is it. The owner was very easy to deal with and this is great place to stay if you want to go to an event in Coffs Harbour.

Close to everything

We had a lovely time at Phil’s property. Very convenient location to access all the beautiful towns and beaches around, and super close to Sawtell with lots of restaurants. The house was spacious and accommodating, with a beautiful view of the countryside and super accessible from the side road.

Situated in a peaceful, beautiful open space. Property was super clean and spacious. Carport and the big lawn at the front was a plus. Felt close to nature with all the greenery around. Kids loved it. Coffs Harbour is just 15 mins drive. Especially during school holidays when every accommodation in Coffs Harbour was super expensive and cramped, this ticked every box for us. Will surely return.

Everything was amazing. Next time we book we will opt for unit one as it doesn't have steps. My partner has trouble with steps.
