Walking into Meryl's beautiful, sparkling clean home, we were quietly greeted by a charming family of tawny frog mouths perched cosily on a branch by the front path. The cares of our busy life fell away as we entered from a hot summer's day into the naturally cool and serene living space. The house is well designed to capture the sea breeze and we could hear the ocean not far off. Eating our breakfasts on the rear deck was full of wonder as a couple of friendly rosellas enjoyed some birdseed and then three kangaroos ventured into the garden below and looked around. The separate bedroom downstairs became a much-appreciated parent's retreat. The chromecast was great - we could binge a bit of Netflix from the comfort of our bed. The bookshelf was full of excellent novels and non-fiction that we delved into and some boardgames too. The kitchen was well equipped for a couple of foodies - we had no trouble putting together some nourishing meals to mirror the nourishing surrounds. The cafe up the road is an old favourite of ours and we enjoyed a morning coffee there most days. Meryl is an attentive and friendly host – we fully appreciated the complimentary champagne and the kind welcome note at the front door. Thanks for a great holiday!
