Hi, My name is Pip and our house is on the Clarence River in Iluka, NSW.
Iluka is 60 minutes south of Byron Bay & Ballina, 30 minutes drive to Yamba & Maclean. Daily Ferry to Yamba 40 mins.
The local area is surrounded by spectacular World Heritage Rainforest, beautiful rocky headlands and pristine beaches.
Nature abounds all around. Popular local activities are surfing, kayaking, boating, fishing, hiking and birdwatching.
Iluka is 'off the beaten track,' so you will often have the beach to yourself.
Our house overlooks the river and within an easy walk to the shops, cafe, pilates studio, bowling club and pub.
We have kayaks, snorkelling gear, fishing gear and a bike to share.
I am mostly here by myself. My wife and kids come in the school holidays.
The house has two spare rooms, each with their own entrance and bathroom.
