I was in SE QLD for work and needed to bridge the weekend, so decided to take a drive and stay at Isabel's place.
She messaged me on the afternoon whilst I was on my way, if she needed to bring back anything for me from the supermarket. What a nice consideration!
Isabel is a lovely person, very friendly and easy going.
The description was accurate and not having A/C was not an issue as there's a good fan in the bedroom. I prefer a fan over A/C anyway, especially this close to the beach with fresh ocean air always in abundance.
Kitchen has everything you need and I made some fresh veggie juices with Isabel's Nutribullit, which I bottled and took with me for the working week ahead.
House and bathroom were clean and there's a toilet separate from the bathroom.
If there are more guests staying and they get up early then it might be sensible they get allocated the bedroom next to the bathroom.
Went for a swim in the ocean the next morning and came back for a very nice long, much needed massage.
Isabel then disappeared to other commitments for the rest of the weekend, so I had the whole house to myself.
Borrowed one of her kayaks and paddled to the lake late afternoon in hope of a nice sunset on the water, but the cloud cover meant I'll have to come back another time.
Walk to the small village is less than 10min, which is right on the beach.
Most cafés and restaurants are family-operated and all people are very friendly.
Great choice if you prefer the smaller coastal villages over the large well-known tourist centres.
The only recommendation for improvement I can think of would be for some nicer pillows on the bed.
Highly recommend staying with Isabel, my weekend certainly felt like a mini holiday right from the start.
Glad I stayed here😊
