My son and I went down to Sydney for a sporting event. Gary's places is only just under 10 min to the Sutherland Leisure park/ Basketball stadium .
The Royal National Park is even closer and definitely a must see even on a short stay like we had.
We had everything we needed at Gary's place. There is only a double bed which I was aware off but the sofa is a comfy place to spent the night. The front of the flat is all glass and the small backyard ends into the bush/gumtrees which is lovely and the nicest view you can have while dozing off on the couch.
Gary filled us in about local shops and things to do and was very friendly and hospitable .
You reach the flat over some outside stairs since the house is located on a slope and the lower part of the building is below street level.
It wasn't a problem for us but it is worth while mentioning. Gary had solar lights and a sensor light at our door so you find your way around in the dark as well.
