Chrissy’s place is a little oasis in Cable Beach, her listing explains the place extremely well. It is a funky/arty and cosy room with a comfy bed and sofa bed as well as toaster, kettle, microwave, fridge, filtered water (but no sink) and utensils for all basic cooking and we were able to use the main house’s kitchen when we needed the stovetop as well. The vegan breakfast was the perfect start to our days out and we could take a piece of fruit to snack on during the day as well.
The beautiful garden was nice to sit in in the mornings and the pool was perfect after a hot day exploring the area (in the middle of winter!). It was handy having the bikes to borrow as there isn’t great public transport in the area. We were advised not to walk around at night due to petty crime, Chrissy was able to pick us up once or twice when we needed which was really helpful but after a few days we decided to hire a car for the remainder of the trip.
Chrissy made us feel very welcome and looked after anything that we needed. She is very approachable and is around the house or via sms to answer any questions or give tips on where to visit, how to get there and what to expect.
Chrissy’s son was around but rarely seen as well as some friends here and there but it was a very relaxed and friendly vibe and we always felt welcome to say hello and go about our days.
I highly recommend this place as an affordable base for anyone looking to explore the area!
