What a gift to find the splendid “Ithaca House” to have all our adult children, partners & our 5yr old granddaughter (Sydney, Perth,GoldCoast & Newcastle) together to share the festive season with extended family in Grafton. We felt instantly at home in superb rooms with every creature comfort we could need. Deb thought of everything-an extra drinks fridge, substantial supplies for breakfast including beautiful eggs from her chooks, there was even a Christmas tree for the 5yo to decorate for the obligatory ‘present-fest’ on Christmas morning.!! Next plan will be to try out the home in winter when the cosy blankets, fluffy robes, ample heaters, & board games can come into their own. Thank you to Deb & family for providing this welcome retreat. Cheers Kate & Greg
