Lynda and Howard gave us a very warm welcome and made us feel very much at home. They are accommodating and responsive hosts. We spent a full month from the beginning of December to January living as locals do in Freshwater. We are a family of 4 (kids aged 9 & 6) living in the UK, Sydney is my home but it had been a while between visits so this trip allowed me to show my family what life in a Sydney beach suburb is really like. The apartment is very comfortable and new, the living area is open and spacious. The kitchen is set up so that you can prepare your own meals with an induction cook top or microwave and a large fridge to keep supplies in as well as all standard appliances such as a toaster and coffee machine etc. Its an easy stroll to the beach along a street lined with frangipanis and Australian natives. There is a large bottlebrush in the neighbours back garden where lorikeets flock in the early evening, the sound of their squabbles is one of my favourites - truly reminds me of home. We will be back and totally recommend, it really was living the dream.
