After such a relaxing week it is easy to forget that I had some problems with airbnb with my pending (which I thought was confirmed!) booking. As it happened when I was already on the road and at my stopover accommodation it could have been quite stressful but Rupert's no fuss and practical approach and efficient resolve of the issue meant it bares no memory on our holiday.
I have stayed in a few airbnbs which are quite well equipped but Driftwood was exceptionally well equipped, it really did feel like a home away from home. I cooked every night and needed for nothing, every recipe and potential utensil is considered!
I was nervous for this trip as it was my first travelling alone with my 2 young children. Although Driftwood was not advertised specifically as catering for children, they settled in there immediately and never wanted to leave! Driftwood has some quirky decour that the children loved. It was also robust enough that I wasn't terrified of them exploring.
Apart from the obvious draws of being able to walk to the river, parks and shops, Driftwood also offered us quiet lunches and sunsets on the back deck and luxurious warm showers after a swim at the boardwalk or getting caught in rain showers. The bed is extremely comfy with a variety of extra blankets to please the fussiest of children on the cooler nights.
There are numerous extra little touches and finer details which make me believe Rupert and his family really care that their guests enjoy their stay in Driftwood - and we sure did!
