Between Sydney & the Gold Coast, "Narran Rise" is a few minutes from the Pacific Hwy, making this comfortable home an ideal stopover on your journey — or a holiday in itself! Wake to the sounds of birds — and in the evening, watch the sun setting over the mountains. Explore Wauchope, national parks, wineries, rivers, lakes. The coastal resort of Port Macquarie is nearby with spectacular coastline & surfing beaches. Sleeping: 2 x Q, 1 x D, 1 KS & folding single. NB: unit adjoining, sleeps 3. SC UNIT ADJOINING sleeps 3 in queen and king single. Ideal for large family gatherings Narran Rise sits atop the ridge overlooking the 'timber' town of Wauchope and the mountains beyond. It was close to here, in October 1818, that Surveyor General, John Oxley, crossed Narran River (King Creek) as he neared the end of his exploration to find a route eastwards across the Great Dividing Range to the coast, and thus founded Port Macquarie in November 1818. Surrounded by small acreages and farmlets, the one acre property is extensively planted with a mix of natives and exotics, including an orchard where you can pick oranges to juice for breakfast, or grapefruit to enjoy. Also, in season, there are limes, mangoes, lychees, plums, mulberries and macadamias. Breakfast provisions will be supplied including milk, cereals, tea and coffee, and when available, free range farm fresh eggs (from nextdoor's chickens), bacon, bread and my own home-made marmalade and/or jam - or other spreads, to ensure you start every morning with a hearty meal! Wifi is available with password upon booking provided or QR code upon your arrival. Sorry, but no pets, no smokers and the home may not be suitable for children (as I regularly live here, my home contains the usual ornaments, nic-nacs and collections of my precious things accumulated over many years and may be irresistibly fascinating to inquisitive little hands!). Non-walking infants are welcome although you would require to BYO baby items. A portable cot is available, but you will be required to erect it yourselves - just let me know in advance if it is required.
