We stayed a couple of nights at Julian’s place. It is 5 mins walk from no.16 beach, and a 10 min drive from Rye beach. It has a quiet, shaded, peaceful deck and garden, perfect for the hot weather. Also has an outdoor shower which is great after the beach. We stayed there as 6 adults and two kids, but there is a further garden room which could fit 2-3 more people.
