Nathan's place is a lovely three bedroom weatherboard that stylistically blends form with function. The unadorned white fittings contrast nicely against unfinished wooden floors to give a homely and meditative quality to the place - you can tell Nathan has a keen design eye as the spartan layout and unfinished stylings are no accident. In many ways it's a perfect holiday home: simple, unadorned and unpretentious.
The shaded deck area adds a nice space to spend some time (we enjoyed sitting on deck chairs shielded from a summer downpour in the middle of a 40 degree heatwave), but unfortunately the night's weren't cold enough for us to try the belly stove.
Located in a quiet dead end street, there's nice walks to McGain's Nursery Cafe, shops, parkland or the coastal bluffs.
We did notice some minor issues with the place (Nathan has said he will look into the fittings, doors, window screens etc that were slightly in disrepair and needed fixing) and a few things weren't exactly clean on arrival (despite a slightly exorbitant upfront cleaning fee), but this didn't stop us from enjoying our time and I would still gladly recommend his getaway home. Thank you Nathan!
