Not Bad, Not Great
Host communication needs to be improved and very basic for its high price tag. Nice views and handy location.

Nice place despite flooding in nearby Bellingen
It's a bit hard to review Never Never Cottage without mentioning the heavy rains and minor flooding we experienced.
Nick was great and always responded promptly to our emails.
In particular he provided us with a link to the camera network provided by the local council which enabled us to check when the bridge into town (Bellingen) was open (it was closed due to the minor flooding).
Would love to come back!

A beautiful relaxing stay
With no neighbors to be seen you will be able to relax and unwind. With stunning views taking in the distance mountains and lush forest in the distance. The accommodation is modern and comfortable with plenty of room to cater for all guests. The outdoor area is perfect for entertaining and the pool was perfect place to take in the sun. With only a short 10 minute drive to the local town which has everything that's needed.. if you're looking for a peaceful and private property this is the one for you

Beautiful little country retreat
We stayed for 2 nights at this beautiful property. It was so very comfortable and peaceful. Sitting around the fire pit of an evening underneath those amazing stars was pretty special. Loved our stay here & highly recommend it to anyone looking for a country getaway!
