Shelly's apartment at Coogee is the ideal location for a family who wants a bit of relaxed time away from home.
1) The location is not far away from Coogee Beach or the baths, as well as a park, a coastal walk and plenty of family-friendly cafes.
2) The apartment itself is spacious and rather akin to a house. Each of the living spaces is multifunctional. For example, the sun room/ dining room also has a day bed which can extend to a larger Queen sized bed. The living room adjoins with the kitchen so you can keep an eye on the kiddos while you cook or eat at the kitchen island. There's a laundry room with a washer, dryer and sink which we were rather thankful for when my baby's diaper/nappy leaked during our walk; we got to go back, wash it out, do a load of laundry and dry everything with a minimum of fuss--something unusual when you are away from home with a tiny human!
3) The place is spotless but not so sleek that you feel afraid to relax!
4) Shelly quickly responds to any message you send through. This was helpful because, as sleep-deprived adults, we overlooked where the dishwasher pods were and asked her, only to receive a rapid response.
The only drawback is the parking, as the popular area is in high-demand. It was negotiated by mindfully timing when we'd venture out to other beaches and return in time for the 2P/4P parking to expire. But this is what one gets in a beautiful area! Overall, I'd heartily recommend the accomodation but especially suggest it to families who'd like some time away from home without having to bring all their supplies.
