In one word - this place is exquisite! It's just as described, a retreat with a touch of luxury. Marianna was warm and inviting, and really cared that we were enjoying ourselves during our stay. The atmosphere and decor are so well put together, and there are so many wonderful things supplied - coffee pods, milk, fresh fruit. Cooking in the electric frypan was easy, and the kitchen is well-equipped. The bike ride to Manly Beach is easy and fun, and there are more bike paths around the area. Going to the mall for groceries is not far. The only issue is the internet - it works but frequently drops out, though if you're on vacation you don't need it anyway. Would 100% recommend this place and I'd love to come here again!
