About the host
Hosted by Kate and Michael
We are avid travellers, with family and friends across the globe that we can visit now that our kids are adults.
Why they chose this property
We bought the two houses (they are identical) almost on the spot, after falling in love with how picturesque the area was and how comfortable the houses were. One is a holiday letting, the other we use as our own weekender. We love that Dungog is nearby, and Newcastle and Sydney are an easy drive to the property, but that when you arrive, you feel a million miles away.
What makes this property unique
Rainforest experience - friends say it reminds them of the Byron Bay hinterland
