Accomodation.
Very nice location and lovely unit with every thing you needed. The hosts were very friendly and most accomodating. The food at the pub in Bangalow was delicious. My friend and I were there to attend a funeral would loved to have stayed longer but had to get home for Mothers day. A most enjoyable few days even though we we there for such a sad occasion.

Relaxing stay in the rainforest
This was a wonderful property, very peaceful and relaxing. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped (despite no stove or oven) with excellent outdoor bbq, and so had everything we needed. Communication with hosts was excellent and very helpful. Lots to see and do in the local area. Highky recommend!

We had such a relaxing stay at this property. We felt comfortable coming and going as much as we did, we felt very comfortable to just chill on the couch or sleep in and take the day slowly. Kitchen facilities were great for what we needed, even some fresh coffee for the plunger! Thank you so much. I'll be recommending your lovely home.

Our stay at Bangalow.
The hosts were very helpful and welcoming., providing us with very useful information about visiting the surrounding areas. The property was in a quiet secluded rainforest location, yet close to town...really delightful. Very good for bird watching. Everything was very well organised and set up re equipment /utensils..generous inclusion was a lovely bottle of wine. .I would highly recommend this property to friends and acquaintances.

Somervaille at Binna Burra
The apartment was accurately described; it is located 3-4 minutes by car from Bangalow. It is underneath the main cottage but completely quiet. The apartment was fitted with quality furnishings and was spotlessly clean. The queen-sized bed was exceptionally comfortable. We would happily return.

Beautiful bird songs
This is a beautiful secluded and comfortable find in a gorgeous location. Listening to the birds was lovely, and the apartment was modern with thoughtful touches. We loved it enough for two visits within a month! We will be returning in the future, a big thanks to owners for being so helpful and friendly, making our stay so enjoyable.

Beautifully appointed property with great attention to detail.
Thank you for providing such a wonderful property. It is privately located with off street parking.The decor was tasteful and it was evident that the owners were focused on making our stay comfortable and memorable. Many additional inclusions including wine and chocolates on arrival. We enjoyed our stay very much. You will need your own transport as it is out of town. Highly recommended.

My Granddaughter (Alannah 22 yr old) and I have just had a long weekend catchup & had a lovely time staying at Somervaille. From the stunning location to the lovely accommodation with quality inclusions including the lovely bed linen & towels & welcome bottle of wine & treats.

Great location, lovely hosts!
Amazing 1 bedroom flat. Everything you could ask for in holiday rentals. Beautiful property, super quiet and peaceful. The best hosts you could ask for lots of local knowledge and more than willing to share all the favorite spots. Would stay again for sure!
