Pocket Delight

Pocket Pines was delivered, the home was beautiful, and the layout was very thoughtful. There were so many options to sit and relax. A beautiful family home, that allows you time to breathe, relax, and bird watch. Johanne was lovely, and very friendly.

Peaceful retreat

I agree with all previous reviews..this is a lovely comfortable property. It has all you need ..great kitchen comfortable beds ..The outlook from the deck is beautiful and the pool is such a wonderful luxury We had a great stay.The check in process is a meet n greet...which was fine but does require negotiating arrival time and the driveway is shared with another property which didnt impact us but is something to be aware ofWe highly recommend for a bit of time outbonus

Bliss

Amazing place for a holiday. It felt like our own private resort. Very private and tranquil with abundant wildlife. Fantastic pool and huge outdoor balcony that was great for watching tropical lightning storms in the distance. Dog friendly beach was less than a 10 min drive and local pub only 5 min drive away for a great dog friendly lunch....Blissful! drive

We loved returning to Pocket Pines

This was our third stay at Pocket Pines and we loved it again! We spent time exploring nearby towns (we love Brunswick and Bangalow) as well as time relaxing by the pool, walking around the property and when the weather turned, we were cozy by the fire. The deck and outlook is wonderful any time of day and the kitchen has everything required for self-catering. The whole house is very well appointed for any season. We'll definitely be back again!

Pure peace

Pocket Pines is absolutely charming. It exudes peace and tranquility. Our time here was a quiet escape that was exactly the break we needed to restore us. The house is absolutely charming and the property is so beautiful. We spent our time on the verandah enjoying the amazing view, listening to the birds, watching the cows, and soaking up the absolute quiet serenity. Pocket Pines was pure bliss for us in our search for rest and relaxation.

Sweet little haven

This little home in The Pocket is fabulous. Johanne & Mark are wonderful hosts. Fantastic kitchen and set up. Deck area which chases the sun and a fireplace in wintertime. The magnesium pool was a real treat… even in winter. Highly recommend starting the day with a bath and watching the beautiful sun catchers dance their magic across the room. This is such a nurturing home with all the comforts one may seek. Listening to all the birds and soft sound of breeze through leaves & one ever giving Grapefruit tree & fresh laid eggs from chickens was a real treat. Plenty of space to branch out and explore. Also highly recommend the Main Arm General Store for lunch ~ a sweet 10min drive up the hill for the best burgers - ever! If you continue along the road from there - hit dirt roads & waterfalls. Just a stunning piece of paradise away from the hustle.

Relaxing Hideaway

This property is a hidden gem. We loved the privacy, the nature surrounding us and the countless hours spent by the pool. Our dogs made friends with the cows in the next paddock and they made sure to say hello each day. The house was equipped with everything we could want during our stay. Our time went by so quickly - we can’t wait to come back!!

Our stay at pocket pines

The property was beautiful unfortunately for us we thought we could walk to bus stop to get to Bluesfestival. Website could probably explain the remoteness of location. Would definitely recommend to have a car.
