Nestled among the angophoras, gums and palms is this elegant and luxurious private retreat. The sounds of kookaburras, green tree frogs and cicadas filter through the sliding stacker doors which overlook the rainforest to Bilgola beach. The view is nothing short of magnificent.
The space is extremely spacious, more like a small house and the furnishings are opulent.
As accurately described, the entrance is not for those with dodgy knees, hips etc as the driveway and stairs are quite steep. It is however, well lit and the sandstone steps are safe and well constructed.
The bathroom is divine as is the mattress on the bed - no sore backs here!
We were without a car and it was a 20 minute stroll to Avalon village and similar to Bilgola beach. Don't be misled, the terrain here is generally pretty steep so a reasonable level of fitness is required if you don't have a vehicle.
Tea, coffee and milk is supplied so maybe bring a few extras to start yourself off.
Gail is an excellent host and I can't recommend her place highly enough. Do yourself a favour.
