Bruce is a wonderful host, very generous and a lovely communicator. We felt throughout that he was only a message away if we needed anything, and he was very accommodating and friendly throughout. Easily one of my most pleasant AirBnb experiences.
The house is extremely well equipped, lots in the kitchen and the coffee machine (and instructions) are a much appreciated touch. The wifi is excellent, at one point we had 4 people streaming. Bruce's place is right on the corner so you do get a little noise from the road (not audible over the TV, for example, but if you are super-sensitive to noise New Years at Bruce's place might not be for you).
The home is much larger than the pictures suggest, and we were very comfortable with 6 people. The kitchen is nice for more than one person to cook in if you want to eat in. The outdoor shower is lovely, and I am sure others would use the balcony and yard. We didn't because we just went straight to the beach--less than 5 minute walk! The beach down below Bruce's place is really lovely for swimming (it's where we went), but if you prefer a patrolled beach you can walk 10 minutes to the surf club. Town is a 6 minute walk in the other direction, very convenient to the shops, wine bar, cafes etc.
We had a great time at Bruce's place, and we will definitely be back sometime soon. The location, the accommodation, and the host are all first rate.
