Valla Beach is beautiful and a great place to get away...Cathys house has rustic/beach charm and the verandah is a perfect relax space. Cathy is a perfect host, very responsive and generous (home grown veg for a thai curry) and she knows all the local spots and tips. Norish Cafe is just a short walk away where the food is amazing and the hospitality warm. I was in the ocean every day and its nust what I needed..Recommend..
