I spent a few days here with my partner in total relaxation mode. We spent most of the time playing games, reading books, sunbathing, napping, and relaxing in the outdoor bath. The home is surrounded by woods, and feels miles away though it is only 45 minutes from Sydney CBD. The wraparound porch, wall to wall sliding door, floor to ceiling windows, bath tub, and secluded wooded location is perfectly suited to this type of stay. The area was generally quiet all day long, with only normal noise from the neighbour kids in the pool in the evenings. We went hiking one day in Ku-Ring-Gai which was stunning, and there is certainly much more to do locally.
Laurie responded to any message within the hour, always, so 5 stars for responsive host too.
Loved the stay, and will hopefully be back!
