Wow. I love this little house so much, I don't even know where to start! I stayed here for four delightful months working on my dissertation, and it was divine. The perfect retreat! The cabin is very cozy and very quiet. It feels private and secluded even though it is nestled in a pretty little neighborhood backyard. The beach is only a five minute walk away, and I walked to Mona Vale for all my groceries with no problem (about a 20 minute walk). There is also a fabulous farmers market on Friday mornings just about a ten minute walk away! The bus stop is just down the hill and the bus will get you into Sydney and back any time of the day or night. I was working at Sydney University a couple of days a week, and it took about an hour with no traffic to get there. It was really straightforward and very much worth being somewhere so beautiful! I'd often go into the city just for dinner or drinks. It's an easy ride. Gemma and Matt are such lovely hosts. They are kind, caring, and very knowledgeable about the area. They'll give you lots of privacy, but are also available should you need anything at all. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need. A great shower, a comfy bed, a wardrobe, and a very nice lounge area. There are some cute cafes in the area, especially at Mona Vale beach. Couldn't have asked for a better place to write and relax!
