Karen's hospitality is outstanding! We found everything fresh, serene, well-organised and easy to use. The beds were super-comfortable, with a special mattress topper that I'm going to purchase for my own home. The house is on a quiet suburban street, within walking distance of a shopping centre, and next to a beautiful shaded walk to the beach. Parking was easy, a spare fridge was provided for our extra food, and there were fans in every room (bliss!). Karen even provided some little snacks and fruit on our arrival, and it was great that she's right there on the premises to answer any questions. I felt as relaxed as if I were in my own home. Oh, a special mention of the fact that there was art on the walls, but it wasn't overdone or crowded with objets d'art.
