I stayed at Jane's cottage with my parents, and my wife (and infant son) for four nights. I really needed to stay somewhere in Collaroy due to my wife attending a conference at Collaroy centre, so the location of the cottage was perfect from that perspective. It is also close to a bus stop that has frequent buses going to Wynyard Station, or Manly Wharf which made it easy for us to travel around Sydney. It was cool to explore Collaroy also. There are many nice houses, the beach is close by, and we walked the Long Reef Point walk each day.
The cottage worked for us and had everything we needed. We appreciated the info brochure that Jane put together for us.
Jane made herself available upon check-in, and left some food and snacks for us, which were added bonuses.
In all, we enjoyed our stay in Sydney / Collaroy, and found it to be a great base and resting place for what we wanted to do. Thanks Jane!
