Janet's place is lovely - first time to Sawtell and we would definitely stay here again. It's an older apartment, so the kitchen and bathroom are a little dated but living spaces are light and bright, beds are comfy and the whole apartment is really well appointed and has everything you need - including a GREAT outdoor area perfect for having a wine and a cheese plate.
Short walk to the beach and the main street, where there are lots of great restaurants and cafes. Suggest checking out The Hilltop Store for breakfast or lunch - totally worth the short walk up the hill!
