We really enjoyed the quality of the ground floor of this house and the excellent fittings and fixtures within, including dishwasher and washing machine. The indoor drying rack combined with the outside Brabantia washing line are examples of the hosts' attention to detail. There is plenty of clean storage space available in every room. The house is well situated for Harris Farm Shop, literally around the corner for fresh bread and croissants each morning and so much more! A variety of high quality local restaurants were all within a 5-10 minute walk of the property. We discovered Stillitanos a family corner shop which sells freshly made Italian food along with household basics, with a welcoming and very friendly approach to visitors. We enjoyed the walk through the Lagoon to the beach and the longer walk along Pittswater Road into central Manly. We stayed during a hot spell and fans were provided. We we hope to be able to stay in this lovely home again.
