We were visiting our daughter in Sydney and we enjoyed our 16 day’s stay at Fred & Bernadette's place very much. The unit is fully self contained, clean and has everything you need (including wifi, Netflix and laundry possibilities). Malabar is a lovely town with a nice quiet beach, great ocean pool, restaurant overlooking the water (open from Wednesday till Sunday) and a beach cafe (open till 15.30 on Friday and Saturday till 20.30). The bus 399, takes 45 minutes to Central Quay, stops in front of the house and in the evening at a 2 minutes walk. For the bigger shopping centers, as detailed in the welcome book, you can better use a car, smaller shops are on a 10 to 15 minutes walk. Fred & Bernadette were very helpful, thanks for using the opal cards. I highly recommend this place.
