Karen was an amazing host, always trying to make us feel at home. The place is comfortable and peaceful, you will hear a lot of native birds. The gym is well equipped and the jacuzzi is good. Close to supermarkets, bakery, fast foods, restaurants, public transport and 10 min walk to the Dee Why beach. 30 min walk to the Long Reef Point, which has awesome views. She has a dog, Coco, she was nice, quiet, cute and loves to play. We also took her for a walk a few days, since we have a dog too. It is a good place for those who have dogs, beach and park nearby. We recommend the place and definitely would stay there again.
