Family Home away from Home

Fantastic location and a great family home away from home to stay. Nambucca is a gem of a town to stay. The property was immacuate with the added bonus of a beautiful garden and river views. IGA is a close river walk and the beach is a quick drive around the corner. Five adults comfortably fit with lots of room and everything you need to cook and chill out. Prompt and helpful contact with the owners if needed.The Golden Sands pub had great meals and the trivia night was a lot of fun. Dave's seafood was also a great find with the best marinara mix to cook a big family meal.

A wonderful stay

The house and grounds were beautiful. The house had everything we needed during our stay. The owners were helpful and accommodating, offering us an early check-in and late check-out, which was great as we didn't want to leave! My young daughters and dog also loved the place.Local amenities are a short drive away and there are lots of places to visit nearby, making it ideally situated if you have transportation.At dusk, the local kangaroos could be seen from the verandah. The house was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Great and big place in lovely Nambucca.

Great house for larger family.4 big bed rooms with very nice beds.Steep stairs to get down from road to house, not a problem if you are healthy but older or not walking 100% it is worth knowing. We had an absolutely lovely stay and the patio is great.Only thing I'd do to improve is to add some basic kitchen items such as salt, pepper maybe canola oil or similar.
