Alan and Helen were such warm and generous hosts. They were so responsive from the outset, even before we got to their gorgeous little flat. They welcomed us with some local tips of the area and an offering to share the goods of their luscious veggie garden. Alan and Helen live above the 2 flats but they totally give you your space and are happy to help if you need them.
The 2 ground floor flats share a BBQ and the back veggie garden that backs onto a wonderful rainforest full of tweeting birds and tracks down to Shelly Beach. We had no issue sharing the back garden and BBQ with our lovely neighbours, who like us, brought their dog.
The flat itself is clean and basic but has everything you need for a weekend away from the city including free wifi, TV, DVD player, stove, microwave, fridge, kitchen utensils etc. the bed was comfy and the shower worked well (shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and hand wash provided...nice touch).
The location is worth every cent and more...a short walk to the gorgeous Black Head (dog friendly) beach and Shelly Beach. Also a short drive to Halliday Shopping Village and Diamond Beach. We came for the beach and we were not disappointed. It is so hard to find a good dog friendly beach in Sydney...our pooch was in heaven here!
We loved eating our breakfast and dinner out on our own little patio with 2 sun loungers and a romantic table for two with a green vista, the birds serenading us and at night, the moon beamed straight on us!
This place is worth every cent. It is a steal for everything you get from great hosts, dogs permitted, cleanliness, coziness and location, location, location!
Thank you Alan and Helen. We will be back.
