Melinda's place is a lovely relaxing holiday space. Melinda is a great host and was quick to sort any questions or issues that we had. Our kids loved the pool (as did the adults) and there was plenty of space to allow our families to enjoy each others company but also have time out. This was important given the weather at the start of our week holiday was not the best. The kitchen is well equipped and you can dine in or outside in the shady well established garden. The east facing views to the beach from upstairs - particularly from the main bedroom and ensuite are fabulous. The house is about a 15 min walk to Avalon beach and the Avalon shops. It's a bit far for little kids to walk. The house is well located to other beaches, for example, Clareville on the Pittwater is a short drive and its sheltered and great for paddle boarding and jumping off the pier. Some of the kids did a surf lesson at Palm beach which is also a short drive.
