We are two friends and three teens visiting The us from
Norway. So far Topanga and The wonderfull Hummingbird retreat has been the highlight of our trip. This beatifull area is close to all the beaches near La - we managed to take our teens to universal and Venice beach. But the best days were spent locally in Topanga. Morning walks in the mountains, a short trip to Topanga beach. Shopping in the local stores, a bit expensive but so friendly. Chatting to locals who hold onto a 70s boho/hippy vibe. Eating tasty pizza in the Topanga. Karen and Andys home is a work of love and Beauty that sits in its wonderfull hillside Garden. So peacefull , colourfull with gorgeous plants, magical tiled pool, shaded outdoor kitchen and dining. We also enjoyed the Company of their three lovely dogs and chickens. So if you are lucky enough to spend time here - dont Stray to far - stay local, relax and enjoy. We spent a week and were not ready to leave :-) Lastly Thankyou to Andy and Karen for being such wonderfull hosts - it was a real pleasure!
