Carport and the big lawn at the front was a plus. Felt close to nature with all the greenery around. Kids loved it. Coffs Harbour is just 15 mins drive. Especially during school holidays when every accommodation in Coffs Harbour was super expensive and cramped, this ticked every box for us. Will surely return. ##### Saab S.
