Enjoyed our stay very much. The host gave us a Christmas cake as we arrived around Christmas time. As the house is near the top of the hill overlooking Coogee, the deck view of the leafy Coogee suburban valley was very attractive (but not a water view) and watching the sunsets very relaxing. We enjoyed barbecuing out on the deck, the kitchen contained all the amenities we needed. Enough beds for the family. A short walk down the hill to Coogee, and there is a bus stop near by if you don't want to walk up and down the hill. We stayed for New Year's Eve which was the most expensive night, and went down to Coogee to watch the fantastic fireworks display close-up. We did lots of swimming as well. We provided our own internet via a locally purchased wireless router and mobile reception was good.
