The hosts have thought of everything you might need to enjoy a stay in their gorgeous studio. I thoroughly recommend this property as a base for day trips in the Northern Rivers region or just to relax and take in the scenery of sunsets, birdlife or wandering along the river.

A delightful

This gorgeous studio looks out onto the lovely Richmond River. A very comfortable bed, excellent kitchen and bathroom, spacious dining and living area and wonderful hosts make this a fabulous spot. Drive to the beach, walk along the river taking photos of the sunsets, cook your own meals in a well appointed kitchen, sit and read a book or drive to explore the surrounds. This is the perfect spot to base yourself in for a wonderful getaway!Can't rate it highly enough!
