Any tips for Bethany?
Just unlocked Bethany (surprisingly very easy), but using Bethany is another story so far. I’m trying to beat Isaac hard mode, but it’s so hard to get deals without being able to gain soul hearts. Any tips? How does Bethany’s active items work? You can hold 2?

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bethany Reserve is a beloved picnic spot, praised for its magnificent ancient trees and unique colonial-era shelter. Families enjoy the natural creek and playground facilities, making it a great destination for day trips. However, the shelter and parking can be limited during peak times, so booking ahead is advised.
"Unfortunately, the venue had been booked by a large group, not much space for our morning tea, tables all used, shelter used, and most of parking areas. The trees here are amazing and very old."
Marilyn Osborn
"We had a lovely family reunion, a great place with lots of room, clean toilet and kitchen."
Kerry Cook
"Lovely little reserve. The shelter with its unmilled natural tree structure is fabulous to enjoy. Harkening back to colonial settlement era construction, the shelter fits in with the natural setting in such a way that it was a delight to observe"
