An Eskdale Airbnb, further than we thought

NSW South Coast + Bright 2023

Friday afternoon: We looked on Airbnb for somewhere to stay near Bright. Our search showed a homestead in a farm “nearby”. So, we booked it. Rookie mistake: it was in Eskdale, about an hour and a half drive from Bright. Our second mistake was thinking we had booked two nights when in fact we had only booked one – an error we didn’t realise until the next morning when we received a goodbye message from our host, as we were driving to Bright for the day, with all of our stuff still back in the accommodation. A U-turn, quick pack up, and an hour more driving, and we were back on track.

I say “quick”, but we also couldn’t get the key to work in the door, so I had to climb in a window.

Charming stay, in a valley, with long valley views, cows over the fence and green as far as the eye can see. Our hosts left us a cheese platter, bread, cupcakes which made for a lovely night in.

Charging

At our host’s suggestion, we plugged the car in overnight to a standard outlet on the outside of the laundry wall, which gave us a full “tank” ready to go the next morning. Easy.
