The Wisemans we're very communicative via text and email. I was never left in doubt about the booking or entrance to the property. The family were kind but not intrusive and let me enjoy my stay as if it were my own place. The studio is positively beautiful and located so close to the beach. The neighbourhood was quiet and safe. I visited as a single, young woman and always felt more than comfortable. Coles and Woolworths a two minute drive either way with some restaurants etc also a two minute drive away at Cabarita. I ate in the studio for all meals and found the utilities of the small kitchenette more than sufficient. I was also surprised by how many simple, but thoughtful, things the Wisemans filled the studio with; beach chairs, beach umbrellas, shampoo, conditioner etc. Casuarina is a perfect location to travel to other places north or south, if you wish. However, I spent most of my time on the largely quiet beach by the apartment. Especially perfect for those who enjoy a long stroll down the beach but also great for all other beach activities.
