Use the crashing waves as your alarm clock. Stumble the 20 odd metres through your rainforest to your private lookout overlooking massive Tallows beach. Check the surf, consider how lucky the locals are to do this daily, then the hard decision - another 30 metres to surf with the dolphins or back to the house, jump on the provided bike and down to the local shops for the essentials. Coffee at Tullys, real bread from the bakery and maybe a pastry while listening to an early morning busker (organ this time). Pickup some bottle-o essentials for later and a pizza delivery menu, because life's too tough to pickup yourself. In summer, open windows and the huge living area doors for a constant and cool breeze, no matter the time, temperature or wind direction. Amazingly, 4 of us encountered a grand total of 5 mosquitoes over 8 nights sitting outdoors in what would seem a tropical forest...don't understand it! Everything else has already been covered accurately by previous reviews. The house has all you need and some thoughtful extras as well. Clean and comfortable throughout. Thanks Crisi....what happened to the mozzies?
