About the host
Hosted by Leona
I’m a Shire girl from Cronulla. I co-host Thrums with my brother and sister-in-law. This home belonged to my late mother, who cherished it deeply. Hosting allows us to share the warmth and memories of her beloved space with others while providing a place for our family to escape and create new memories together.
Why they chose this property
The area is truly exceptional, surrounded by national parks. You can enjoy swimming and hiking while being close to the beaches and all the essential amenities in Coffs Harbour. Additionally, you can visit the Coramba township, which features a great pub for lunch or dinner and entertainment on weekends.
What makes this property unique
Thrums is a unique place that may not be luxurious, but it has all the essentials for a comfortable stay. It is quiet and surrounded by nature, with local wildlife such as birds, owls, frogs, and wallabies. While it offers privacy, it is also conveniently located near everything you might need. Starting your day with the sound of birdsong is truly food for the soul.
