Staying at Clare's house was perfect on all fronts. The house itself boasts a well designed layout, ideal for open and relaxed living. We found the open plan kitchen and outdoor dining/table/BBQ space perfect for summer afternoons.
The house is situated at a perfect distance to Bondi Beach; not so close that you get impacted by the busy crowds/lack of parking, but not too far to take a nice stroll for a swim. We also found the closeness of Rose Bay Ferry (approx 15-20 mins walk) excellent, which opens up great trips to Watson's Bay or Circular Quay/Taronga Zoo.
Clare was a very attentive and responsive host, any questions were rapidly answered. The recommendation of Coffee at Shuk, which is only a block away, was a great one; brilliant coffee/pastries/lunch/dinner spot. There is also a Vintage Cellars 200m down the street, with a great priced range of Wine/Beer/Spirits.
I would highly recommend a stay at Clare's, and we will hopefully be back!
