Carla was an excellent host, she was really proactive and helpful. We asked to stay a further night and it was no trouble at all for her to organise. The property had a great flow from living, kitchen and dining that worked well for our group. Loved that the window seat had full windows that opened to enjoy the garden views. The kitchen was light, bright and felt like it was new. The house was only a short stroll to the beach which we enjoyed with our pup. We did some lovely walks to Patonga (not dog friendly) and took the ferry to Palm beach. We also walked to Umina around the ocean front. We loved the little restaurant on the water - The Amalfi, although you must book for a Saturday evening! Beds were comfortable and the fixture and fittings and soft furnishings were very tasteful. Loved that there was beach towels and sun cream to use. Carla had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable.
