Leonie’s little flat is a spotless oasis right in the middle of Sawtell. I could look down the creek and see the surf breaking off the point from the bed, but stroll into town for dinner or a drink in five minutes. It was steamy during my stay but the aircon and fans kept the place cool. Best of all was Leonie, who was helpful, freindly and flexible, and laid on a lovely breakfast spread of fruit, local sourdough and cereal.
