Starting at Clayfield in Tallebudgera was literally bliss. The house is immaculate and the surrounding farm and valley views are a small slice of heaven. It really is a short drive to the beach, there are shops just 2kms down the road for supplies, and it is close enough to major national parks that you have everything at your fingertips. And on cold nights, the heater easily warms up the entire house. The host, Angie, is very responsive. Can’t recommend it enough, and will be back again.
