Steve and Kathryn are amazing hosts. They could not have been more helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed dinner with them as well as drinks and Kathryn shared her home baked cakes with us too! They are genuinely interested in ensuring your stay is the best it can be. The property itself is beautiful and immaculate. It is perfect for 2 people-plenty of room and with everything you need to cook or relax. The swimming pool area is great too when it gets too hot! Steve ensures it is kept clean and the gardens are lovely too. There is a community bus which goes from outside the house to local shops, local mall and Manly but it is only a 10 minute walk to local shops and. It's and Manly buses. The area itself is very scenic with lots of beautiful beaches and walking tracks as well a great cafes and restaurants. It is much better value than apartments in Manly and much higher quality. Highly recommended!!
