Alan and Chas's place was just lovely. I arrived late but Alan was there to meet me he even paid my taxi driver as I didn't have the right change and he booked me a taxi for the airport the next day. I had a lovely long peaceful sleep, as I had arrived from Ireland and was absolutely wrecked by the time I reached Sydney. Just what I needed to get over the jet lag. I loved Chalan Manor and I can't wait to visit again in August just before my journey back to Ireland. I hope to spend a few days seeing the sights of Sydney . Alan has promised to help me plan my time well. I highly recommend Alan's place to anyone visiting Sydney, particularly if they want to be convenient to the airport. Alan was a great host and his home and garden are just beautiful. Thank you again for your kindness.
