My partner and I had a wonderful stay in Mel’s studio. The private courtyard is fabulous and creates double the space. Bed was very comfortable and all amenities as described with lots of nice touches including beach towels and we stayed over Easter so really appreciated the Easter eggs Mel left us. Location is directly across from Murrays Beach and about a 10 minute walk into Sawtell main village street where there are lots of cafes, restaurants and lovely boutiques. Mel was very easy to communicate with.
