Well it's all about location and What a great location it is. Right opposite the beach with a leisurely 18 minute stroll to down Manly.
The room is airy and spacious and a comfy bed with a fabulous view.
Paula is friendly, but perhaps a bit in your face, especially if you value your privacy. If you're looking for privacy, then it's not for you. It's all shared common space with your host. Who was there most of the time.
We had to ask for towels, no fan which meant on a hot summers night we had to leave the sliding door open, that has no screens.
We did feel a bit rushed as our host had to be at the airport early, and wanted to have the room clean before her departure. luckily for her, we intended leaving early, but not sure what would have happened if we wanted to stay check out time of 10am
I also felt, that the offer of a coffee, or a light breakfast would be a nice touch.
Probably wont be back.
