Margaret was a wonderful host. She struck a fine balance between being very attentive to our practical needs and respecting our privacy. We liked the attention given to small details in the newly renovated and tastefully decorated rooms. We found all the amienities of a good hotel in a place that quickly became "our" Coogee Beach home. We believe that a great deal of our excellent time there was owed to the fact that Margaret is a seasoned traveler to faraway places herself. No doubt where we want to stay during our next trip to Sydney! Five stars!
