We could not have been made to feel more welcome at the Surf Shack. The gorgeous bread, free range eggs and coffee were a lovely start. The house was perfect for us and had such a great vibe we felt immediately at home. It was so well fitted out but not precious. Karen was so accommodating and couldn't do enough for us - she even delivered a portable air-conditioner to help with the heatwave!
We loved the kitchen and there was plenty of everything so we weren't constantly washing up or putting the dishwasher on. The bathroom was a dream - so spacious and the hidden storage behind the mirror is genius! The outdoor shower with hot and cold water is perfect for after the beach. While we drove to the beach - more bc of all we were taking than the distance - we really enjoyed having the 2 cafes and the pub just around the corner. The park down the street was excellent for kids and lots of people used the oval as an off lead area for their dogs.
We enjoyed many lunches on the front deck under the umbrella with the sliding door open. I had thought it might be an issue that there aren't fly screens but we had no trouble with mozzies. The fans provided were excellent and easy to love around as needed.
The backyard was perfect and secure for our dog and our son (and his cousins!) - especially the rope swing! In fact my son and the dog are finding the transition back to our inner city faux backyard/courtyard a bit difficult!
We hope we can visit again as we had a fabulous getaway in this super convenient, beautiful home. Thanks Karen!
