John and Maryellen's place was perfect for an extended stay for a couple. It's on a hill in a quiet neighborhood, and the road to get back there winds around a bit, so we're glad that we weren't doing a lot of driving. That translated into a lovely quiet location, facing out toward Royal Natl Park, and besides, the Kirrawee rail station was a short 10-15 min walk away (heading up the hill at the beginning will remind you to get in shape, though). The hosts provided a nice array of amenities, and the shops in Kirrawee were perfect for our remaining needs. We used the place as a base for frequent train rides to downtown Sydney or Cronulla Beach, and a bushwalk through the Park. The kitchen was basic, but sufficient for breakfasts and a few dinners, particularly if you use the grill on the patio. We also had our daughter and her boyfriend (who live in the area) over quite a few nights for drinks and board games, so there's enough room to relax. If you're hoping to get up close with cockatoos, lorikeets, magpies, and kookaburras, you'll be particularly pleased. The hosts live upstairs and provided the perfect amount of contact: responsive to any needs or requests, but not hovering. [If you think you might need space for more than two people or something more luxurious, check out their other unit on the top floor of the house - we got to see it, and it's a more spacious, luxurious unit.]
