New River Bluegums B&B Review
Looking a bit like the little house on the prairie, this river rock and timber homestay is a delight. There's a B&B room in the main house and two well-appointed, self-contained cottages out past the barn. With particularly rural surroundings and a slightly unkempt acreage this place is full of rustic appeal. It's only a 10-minute walk down to the coast and there's a flood-lit tennis court for an evening game (racquets provided). There's now a new barbecue area and an outdoor bathtub in the garden. Kids will love the sheep and pigs and the open spaces
