Absolutely loved our time at Carol's place in Emerald Beach. Fantastic restaurant right below the apartment is purely a bonus. Small, quiet coastal town with amazing beach. Place was super clean and well equipped. Everything you need in terms of groceries, coffee, bottle shop, pizza, etc. all walkable down the street. Had some great hikes (and cooling off in the ocean) along the shoreline both north and south. We always enjoy trying to immerse ourselves in the local culture when we travel and this was a great location to get the feel for the truly hospitable and welcoming Australians.
