Barbara is a warm welcoming communicative host. What is advertised accommodationwise - is an exact description. It is a very quiet suburb! The extra goodies in the frig on arrival were an appreciative bonus. Her personal touches both inside and outside in the garden are a delight and being able to relax quietly outdoors is great! The location is within easy walking distance to Parkdale railway station, restaurants & shops. Its also a lovely walk to the Bay. We will return to Barbaras place in the future.
