Sawtell/Toormina is a great place to stop off en route from Sydney to Brisbane and Jonathon's place provides you with everything you need. Its clean and comfortable and a few minutes from beach and shopping centre. The back garden is a sun trap and has a great view of the mountains. I enjoyed curling up on the outside couch with my wine and book. There is a good size kitchen and Jonathon provided bread, milk, and fruit as well as tea and coffee. The bed is so comfy with quality linen and a lovely pillow. Jonathon will give you your privacy but we did engage him in conversation and found him so easy to talk to. A good meal can be had at the nearby R.S.L. Sawtell. Thumbs up all round.
