We arrived direct from the UK to a really warm welcome, freshly made up beds, a lovely bottle of red wine and food in the fridge. We were met by our host's sister who went out of her way to show us around and inform us of all the facilities in the locality. Our trip to Australia was unplanned due to a family bereavement. We are not members of AirBnB and are very grateful to Meagan for allowing us to stay in her home without insisting on references. A friend who is an AirBnB member knew we needed last minute accommodation and recommended the site. The house is just as described, although we were surprised to learn it is actually a new build. There is so much character and the house has a lovely atmosphere. The aspect was just perfect for us, plenty of shade in the back garden and a lovely cool verandah overlooking the golf course at the front. We regularly enjoyed walking along the banks of the lagoon and loved seeing all the free flying tropical birds. Most days we walked to the beach, but we also made use of the free hop on hop off bus run by Manly Council. For us it was definitely home from home and we enjoyed staying there very much. It made a very heartbreaking trip just that little bit easier for my whole family.
