Accommodation
My house has 3 bedrooms. My bedroom has its own toilet and shower. The visitor's bedroom has a lovely cane daybed and a comfortable fold-up bed (in case there is more than one visitor). There is hanging space for clothes and a table and 2 chairs and an antique dressing table with a mirror. There is a bathroom (toilet, bath, shower) directly opposite the bedroom, which is for the sole use of visitors. Wifi is available. I am flexible with eating arrangements, Would prefer not to cook dinners but can be persuaded!
What else ...
This place is very close to an unpatrolled beach, at the confluence of state forest and National Park between North Beach at Mylestom and Bongil Bongil National Park. It is 10 minutes from Bellingen and 15 minutes from Coffs Harbour. Minutes to Urunga and Hungry Head.
