Diana’s apartment is really spacious for a couple of a small family. There are lots of local flowering shrubs and if you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is perfect. You are surrounded by silence, and woken up by a symphony of bird songs at dawn. You need a car though, to get to the hot springs, the wineries, No 16 beach, which is what separates you from the Antarctica, and lovely, lovely coastal walks and local animals. There is a local bus but a car is really the best way to enjoy Rye and Blairgowrie. I came for a retreat from city life and I was totally delighted.
