Stu is an amazing host - he was so warm & accommodating to me & my kids (Aged 10 & 8). His house is very modern (1 yr old approx) & clean - very modern bathroom, room & kitchen. It feels like you are renting a house not just a room! Big TV in the living room - was great to watch the Australian Open at night! DVD & Chrome Cast options w the tv. Great room to just sit & read also. Wifi great! And if you are into surfing Stu is your man for the best places to surf in the area! He even helped us source a surfboard & joined us while the 3 of us had a go one afternoon at Point Roadnight - so much fun! As we stayed 4 nights & Stu wasn't working he even cooked for us one night & the other guest - so lovely! And a cooked brekky - yum! Oh and he makes a great cup of tea! :)
In short, if you are looking for a host who has just the right balance of helping you out if you need info or advice & being great company or leaving you to your own plans Stu is that host! My kids & I are already looking forward to the next time we stay! Oh & bring your bikes if you can - lots of good bike paths along the foreshore for kids & the surrounding area
