We had a fantastic time at Chris' place and Wayne was a perfect host substitute. This apartment was the best equipped location that we have experienced during our Australia road trip, the location is perfect, the beach wonderful and we saw kangaroos the first morning at the beach. We would have loved to extend our stay but the apartment was booked and extention was not possible. If we ever come back to Australia and get close to Emerald Beach we'll for sure book Chris' place again.
Two advises for future visitors :
1) When you leave the highway don't trust Google Maps but follow the signs to Emerald Beach instead
2) Go for dinner early, we only found one restaurant still open at 8pm. This is not Sydney :-)
