We loved our stay at Jude's cottage. It was perfect for our family of 5. It was a gorgeous townhouse, so clean and bright. And the extra touches such as beach towels and games, books and Lego for the kids was such a great help when travelling light.
The beach was at the end of the street and was safe and not too busy or over crowded for my 3 young kids.
Extra bonus was the bus stop in front and across the road from the cottage. We took the ferry from the city to Manly and the bus was right out the front of warf and a quick 10 min to Freshwater. Was also helpful for the return trips from Manly when little legs were too tired to walk home!
Some lovely cafes and restaurants and a yummy gelato shop close by made our trip easy and fun, and we look forward to returning again soon!
