Jo and René's place is just a short walk (really short!) to a picturesque coastal view! We regularly walked down to the beach and snapped plenty of photos of the waves crashing on the rocks and of the island just off the coast. Our stay was welcomed with bed and breakfast like goodies of fresh jams, fresh fruits and muffins, breads, coffees and teas. The two bedroom downstairs apartment was more than enough for our family of three and was kept cozily warm by the overhead heater (we are used to more tropical weather, so it was wonderful to be able to come back from the windy beach walks to the warmth!)
There is a fantastic playground just up the road from the beach which my eight-year-old son really enjoyed! And there is a little education aquarium open on Sundays and plenty of gorgeous walks! Jo & René also made sure we were fully equipped with information about the area and trail maps, as well as information about getting into the city. It is about a 25min bus ride into the city, but buses come about every 15 minutes, so if you are wanting to go back into see the city, it is very doable! Or, if you are wanting a peaceful spot away from the city, then this is perfect spot as well! It was like staying at an auntie's cottage by the sea! Thank you again Jo & René!
Oh, and as an extra note, they mentioned the have a family cat which sometimes can visit. I am allergic to cats, but the apartment was cleaned so thoroughly that I had no problem whatsoever! Thank you for that as well!
