Virginia's place is a self-contained converted garage next to their house. This means that Virginia is easy to contact with any questions. We found that she was quick to respond to the couple of questions we had, as well as providing us with fresh linen on a couple of occasions during our 3 week stay.
The space itself is compact but very nice and comfortable. The small kitchen area works well for preparing meals. There is a full sized fridge and also a washing machine. Although there is no stove, there is a portable electric plate (with two plates) so boiling pans, and frying eggs etc is ok. There's also a bbq to use as well. So we had no problems with meals. The bed was super comfortable, and the area is quiet. It's a short drive to the train station if you want to get into the city (it's about 45-60 minutes on the train depending on the time of day). There is also a small shopping area with two large supermarkets a couple of minutes drive away, as well as plenty of dining options (from takeaway to casual dine-in). The freeway is also not far away, so driving access to the south east areas is easy. And there are several very good bayside beaches close by. So all in all it's a great place to stay. We would certainly stay again.
