• Tonya (9/5): -

• Tracey (8/5): -

• Matthew (10/5): -
• Doris (10/5): - Sehr ruhig gelegen absolut fantastisch! Chris hat uns Ausflugstipps gegeben, hat uns absolut überzeugt
• Laura (10/5): - Very comfortable stay, tidy home and lovely host. clothes washer and dryer available for our convenience was handy.
• Ari (10/5): - Well equipped, comfortable, perfect for our needs.
• Sophie (10/5): Wonderful - Loved it Nothing
• Tibbo (9/5): Quiet, large, clean family suitable accommodation - The accommodation is located on the bottom level of their home. It has a separate entrance at the front with outdoor dining area and lovely gardens and surrounds. The main view isnt overlooked or hindered by other buildings. The rooms were clean and well thought out. We loved the antique chest in the master room and the 3 TVs available with Netflix and the beds and pillows were all very comfortable. We would highly recommend staying here, especially for families. The owner was friendly and quiet and their dog friendly and mostly kept separate to us. We enjoyed our overnight stay and would stay again. There was no negative, apart from it being the downstairs part of their house, so it might be harder with babies and toddlers. I recommend bringing a few round handle safely locks for a couple of outdoor acess points that lock with a button style lock from the inside. I think they had a lovely dam nearby. Surrounding houses all have small acreage.
• Fiorenza (10/5): -
• Tracey (3/5): Not pleasant - It was a place I could stop with my animals and have a rest from driving. The owner tried to slug us for fifty dollars for a third bedroom, and it was not full ground floor accommodation as he locked this room quite unpleasant.
• Sharon (9/5): Lovely hideaway in Boambee - Peaceful setting in lovely gardens. Comfortable and well appointed. Host is lovely and friendly. Nothing
• Jodie (10/5): Exceptional-We’ll be back! - What a beautiful location and super comfy, pet friendly house. We couldn’t have had a better stop over!
• Schaefer (8/5): Good value - Clean and comfortable, great location. Very friendly hosts. Some Noise heard from the house above the apartment at night. The apartment is the ground floor with the main house above.
• Colleen (8/5): We only stayed overnight but it was comfortable, clean and met our needs. We will stay again. - Couldn't see any signage on the road or when we turned into the driveway. That would be helpful for visitors. Also the turn into the driveway was difficult to see and where to park wasn't clear to us. Just small things that would make a big difference and Im sure the owner will sort that out as he was a good host.
• Gary (10/5): Exceptional - Chris is a great host Great property for our purposes including our new puppy. Nothing
• Karthik (10/5): Exceptional - This place is fantastic. Chris ( owner of the property) was very helpful . The property is in good location (close to coffs harbour), pet friendly, and fenced. Our furry friend was welcomed by 2 friendly cute pooches waiting to play with him. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will recommend this place to anyone who is looking to spend quality family time.
• Eamon (9/5): Superb -
• Mary-rose (9/5): Pleasant overnight stay on route to Brisbane with my two schnauzers - Dog friendly. Cleanliness. Television controller didn’t work. Owner to replace.
• Wenjing (9/5): Clean and comfy stay for the family. - Pet friendly! Love the cleanliness and inclusions such as extra towels, blankets, AC/heater, eco friendly cleaning supply... to make it a very comfy home away from home. No facial tissues, would've prefered more firm/lofty pillows for side sleepers.
• Alfiya (8/5): It was great for our purpose - to stay over night on the way from Brisbane to Sydney. - A very welcoming and kind host, a beautiful and spacious property, and a fully fenced yard, allowing the dog to roam off-leash. Board games and Netflix were also available. The house's sound isolation wasn't great—we could hear footsteps and conversations from upstairs until late at night. This property is a granny flat on the ground floor, located directly beneath the owner's main living area.
• Kristine (10/5): Really enjoyed how easy & comfortable & convenient it was - We enjoyed the whole set up as far as the driveway. We were towing a low trailer & there were no issues. The accommodation was spacious clean & comfortable & being able to have our dogs with no extra charge was outstanding. It was close to the IGA & fuel stations Thankyou
• Debbie (8/5): Chris was a terrific host! -
• Gabriel (9/5): Chris welcomed us upon arrival. We found the place clean and tidy and very suitable for our family of 5. -
• Jessica (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (8/5): Very good -
• Brooke (9/5): Superb -
• Vijay (9/5): Superb -
• Rachna (10/5): It is a great pet friendly stopover between Brisbane and Sydney drive. It is big enough for dogs to play and run around, - It was massive, pet friendly with a very responsive and helpful host. Nothing in particular.
• Claudia (9/5): Superb - The location was good, our dogs loved the open space as did our kids. The set up is fantastic!
• Coin (9/5): Perfect retreat for kids and well behaved dogs. - The major drawcard for us was the rural property - as another review said, the photos don't do the property justice. Having the space and an accommodating host meant both kid and dog had a wonderful time here - I wished we could have stayed longer but they were already booked. Chris was friendly, thoughtful, helpful, and responsive. It was obvious he genuinely cares about his guests. It was a perfect stay for our needs. Close to everything we needed and so much to explore. Not suited to dogs who are inclined to go off exploring as the property isn't entirely fenced in (this did not negatively affect our experience and meant it was easier for us to come and go). Also make sure to bring towels and sheets to ensure your dog doesn't get the place muddy if they decide to take a swim in the dam! Younger children would need to be supervised at all times as there is no fence separating the dam.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jared (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect for us . We at oz tag all weekend at the coffs Harbour stadium like 5 minutes down the road. The place had everything we needed. The owners were excellent 👌 There is nothing to not like.
• Tharanie (10/5): Great Stay - will be back - A great stay (we stayed twice!) the place was great, warm - well appointed and easy to find. very minor - not fenced in for doggos.
• Tharanie (10/5): Great - will stay again! - The property was about 8 mins off the highway - was a gorgeous spot - the pictures don't do the quality of the property justice. The beds were comfortable, the pillows great - plenty of linen - just a great stay. A minor issue - the property was not fenced in - so did mean we had to keep an eye on the doggos.
• Janey (10/5): Absolutely loved the stay. - tranquility, clean. It was perfect.
• Jasmine (10/5): Would highly recommend - Locations and facilities. N/a
• Christina (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the property! Was clean and much bigger than we expected. Easy check in and Chris was lovely. Thanks for having us! 😊
• Monica (10/5): Super comfy stay! Wish we had more time! - Beautiful surroundings! The dogs loved the garden! The place is much bigger than anticipated and well maintained.
• Nick (9/5): Superb -
• Lauren (10/5): Exceptional - Thank you for having us at your beautiful property... It was well equipped with everything we needed. Exceptionally clean and the beds were so comfy 😊 awesome that we could bring our dog. Lovely tranquil setting. We'll definitely stay again on our next trip through Coffs! Nothing to dislike :)
• Ajay (9/5): Superb -
• Eavey (10/5): AWSOME people relaxing accomodating clean close to town but very quiet and can have yr fur babies u - The host was AWSOME the place was very homely and Chris and Michelle well there absolutely fantastic and there dog cash loved playing with our dogs I will defiantly stay there again this was the best air bnb we have ever stayed at thanks guys xo Nothing everything was great
• Nikki (10/5): Excellent - Clean beautiful outlook. Great facilities, comfortable beds. Very helpful host Chris. Great for dogs, with the exception of not having locked gate at driveway, my dog took herself for a little walk. There wasn’t anything not to like. Would just like to see a gate at the beginning of driveway, so yard is secure for dogs.
• Samantha (8/5): Great spot and great for the dog too - The location was great, very quiet yet only a short drive to Coffs. The property was beautiful and the dogs had fun running around with each other. Beds comfy, and a well equipped kitchen. Chris was also great welcoming us and showing us through. Not much. It was a very hot day, air con would have been nice but there are ceiling fans and the downstairs is double brick so well insulated.
• Shankar (8/5): Good stay, hood host - Quite location and good surrounding. Host was good Install curtains on bathroom window. I didnt like 2 way bathroom access
• Caitlin (9/5): Lovely place, beautiful location, big yard! - Great location, beautiful property, on site parking and Chris was a great host, even when our dog kept wandering upstairs, Chris was kind and understanding. Easy to talk with and made us feel welcomed at his property. The yard was huge!!! Our dog couldn’t stop sniffing and exploring every inch of the place (even managed to find his way into the pond for a paddle about). Their dog was also pottering around the property, super friendly and our dog loved hanging out with him. Only one thing we would have liked to know is the front entrance to the property has no gate, whilst the backyard is fenced, it was a little tough for us to sit back and relax as had to keep watching our dog in case he wandered too far up the driveway. Otherwise would have given it a 10!
• Mary (9/5): Pleasant place - The space Second bedroom beds not that comfortable
• Debbie (9/5): A brief but pleasant and peaceful stay. - Lovely peaceful location. Everything supplied for a self-catering experience. We were sad it was only one night! All good

• Steve (9/5): Superb -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kai (9/5): Superb -
• Annabel (10/5): Exceptional - It was a great place. Very quite and clean
• Georgie (8/5): Lovely peaceful and very clean place to stay. Perfect with a pet. - The apartment was the ground floor of the owners house but was very quiet and super clean and large. Was the perfect place with a dog as there is lots of grass outside and very safe. Was beautiful sitting on the verandah in the morning in the sun drinking coffee (supplied by owner) while the dog roamed around the garden. It was a very cold night and the bedding wasn't warm enough. However there may have been extra blankets but we arrived very late and didn't look for them.
• Lyn (9/5): Superb - The owner had thought about everything. There was nothing you could ask for, except for a salad bowl. Was very well appointed and extra clean.
• Mary (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, comfortable, spacious, quiet location, beautiful scenery, Nothing to dislike!
• Terry (9/5): we had a great overnight stay. the place was perfect. Very spacious and clean. not too far to the shops - good for us for an overnight stay with our dogs
