The best little chemist in Australia

I have never visited a pharmacy that stocks Missoni, but this week I found one. The Bangalow Pharmacy is not your average chemist. With it's wood-lined shelving and hardwood floors, it stocks all of your everyday pharmacy paraphernalia along with brands such as Missoni, the full Aesop range, Savon de Marseille, Fragonard, True Grace candles and Dr Hauschka.  It makes shopping for lotions and potions a very special experience.

Riverview Guesthouse Bangalow

Here's a couple of pictures of the gorgeous guesthouse we stayed at in Bangalow. The Riverview Guesthouse is run by Pia, an outgoing and welcoming woman, originally from Denmark, who has made Australia home for 21 years. She bought Riverview about a year ago and set about decorating a space that is warm, luxurious, a little bit girly but still remains true to the federation style this home was built in, in 1902. The home was originally a maternity hospital and we stayed in the original nurse's quarters. Riverview is situated on the Byron Creek(home to platypus) and the grounds are spectacular. The homemade breaky in the morning with fresh crossiants, stewed fruits and Byron Bay organic coffee, capped off a fantastic stay. Riverview is located at 99 Byron Street, Bangalow 02 6687 1317 or visit http://www.riverviewguesthouse.com.au/
