Emerald Beach is a beautiful place to visit and Tom's house is ideally situated within level walking distance of all the local beaches and local amenities including a General Store, Mexican restaurant, Pizza place and the Surf Street Cafe.....in fact, if you are after a relaxing beach holiday, there is no real reason to leave Emerald Beach at all! Tom is a fantastic host, all queries answered immediately. His house is spacious, comfortable and fully equipped with everything you could want.... and then more! I'd highly recommend staying at Tom's house, I certainty intend to should I return to Australia!
