James enjoys making contact with locals when he travels. James has lived in Sydney and Brisbane and for a short time on the west coast of Canada. He especially enjoys travelling in Canada and USA. James developed the bnb with his late partner Steve who died in April 2021. They ran a 200 acre cane farm for 16 years. James has a great love of history and the Clarence Valley which he is happy to share, and make suggestions for day trips. When you visit, James is happy to give you space to enjoy the surroundings, but is usually around the farm if he can be of help.

As James was my 1st ever MisterBansB guest in Sydney in 2015, now feeling incredibly privileged being his guest together with 2 of my friends at his beautifully restored Cane Cutters Barracks. As covered in James' previous reviews, the accommodation really is beautifully appointed and in a perfect location overlooking the sugar cane fields - the pics just don't do it justice. There is a large wrap-around deck perfect for gazing at the stars at night, and even an outdoor bath tub. I loved the bird life (woke up to kookaburras one morning) and each evening visited by adorable little green tree frogs. James' family has been on the land for more than 100 years, and has a strong connection to the history of this region. James also made really good recommendations on where to go close by for breakkie (Botero Cafe in McLean) and dinner (Ulmarra Hotel overlooking the Clarence River) - although breakfast cereals are provided together with coffee, tea and fresh cookies. Big thank you again James - incredibly good value for a 2 nite stop on the way to Byron Bay. We will definitely be returning again soon (hopefully in time for for the Grafton Jacaranda Festival).

We stopped here for two nights enroute from Sydney to Brisbane. It was an excellent place to rest for a couple of days. We were not disappointed with our decision. James and Steve were very welcoming. The place is spotless (and I mean spotless) with heaps of space, quality furnishings and linen. An added bonus, not mentioned in their listing, is the steam room available for guests to use at no additional charge. We could not have been more delighted with our two nights. 100% satisfied.
