A fantastic week at Laurene's place. It was a great place to stay with children, garden nice size and very child friendly. The beach we enjoyed most was hooley bay as it was sandy, no rocks where kids were swimming/playing, extremely safe and easy to access. It is ten minutes drive. Bagunbun beach only minutes drive also lovely but there are rocks everywhere so with younger kids not quite as easy for them to swim/paddle. Lovely cliff walf along there from laurens. Hook light house also close by..can park at slade harbour and do a lovely cliff walk to the lighthouse.
Would recommend this area for a visit and Laurene's house is a great base!
