We had a great stay at Philippa's place. The location is very good for the Blairgowrie shops and beach (about a 5 minute walk to both). The shops have a great butchers, several decent coffee options and a small newsagency that has daily papers. The house itself stayed nice and cool on a 40 degree plus day thanks to the decent sized air conditioner. The deck out the front of the house is also a brilliant place to eat and/or have a coffee and read the paper. Paradise! :)
The kitchen bench, table and stovetop could have been cleaner when we arrived, but Philippa was proactive and enquired how good a job the cleaner had done, so it sounds like she is on to it.
