Great location with all the amenities and space needed for a family. Great communication and easy key process. You can walk out the back gate and you’re basically right behind the Main Street and the shops if you need to pick up something to cook or want to go out to dinner. Bellingen is a lovely area to visit.
The house was very well appointed and very central, we really appreciated all the extra items provided (shampoo, shower gel etc.), it all made us feel very welcomed
