Gary’s place is beautiful (as is he)!
He showed us immense kindness and as we arrived, his home looked even more stunning than in the photographs. It’s a 12 minute walk or so from the centre of town, a 6 minute bike ride to Clarke’s beach (not far from any of the best beaches or the light house walk). It’s also very quiet, relaxing and peaceful.
He offered us a beautiful home grown garden salad and a glass of wine upon our late arrival and we enjoyed a balmy evening on the terrace listening to the faint sounds of the ocean.
Besides the sound of the ocean, The house offers lots of natural light, it’s breezy, very clean and tidy, has a fantastic kitchen and of course Gary has a great little selection of books and has put his interior together beautifully! There is also an addtional outdoor shower which is perfect after a day at the beach, there’s a herb garden, it’s leafy and feels spacious but cosy :-)
Gary gave us plenty of tips regarding nice places to eat/drink coffee, prepared two bicycles for us (even bought an additional one), shared food, travel stories and we feel Gary met us as old friends catching up :-)
We highly recommend Gary’s home for all these reasons and I’m sure there are many more we could think of, Gary, we hope to see you again very soon to chat more about travels, new creations, textiles, art, furniture and architecture. Etc.
Tess and Allan :-)
