A great spot right near the beach. Very conveniently located near bus stops with great links to the CBD. The Coogee area is well set up with the usual bars , cafes and restaurants as well as local small convenience stores a walk away. We never got to meet luke personally but his communication with us right from the start was top notch. He was only a phone call or text away if we had any questions or issues. As past reviewers have said, The Big Watermelon House has it own 'vibe' and Lukes artistic interest and flair is very evident. It is not really a place for those who crave minimalism. A great place to stay to experience the beach life and culture.
