Gaels place is lovely and clean and has all the little things you might need (sewing kits, olive oil, sunscreen). Gaels communication is excellent, at one point I had to message her as the tv remote wasn't working, she got back to me within minutes and directed me to where the batteries were in the kitchen cupboard and also said she would be straight over with new ones if they werent right (this was at 7pm!)
The beach closest to her place isn't great for families, so I would recommend the short drive to jetty beach instead.
