Staying in Willoughby was the perfect capstone to my 3 week vacation in Australia. I knew I couldn't go wrong with all of the amazing reviews that Margie had and the great photos that went along with her Airbnb listing. I certainly couldn't agree more! Margie (and Wayne's) place is fantastic. Just a short 15-20 minute ride in to Sydney via bus (m40). Their home is in a very family-oriented, chill area just a touch off North Sydney and a stones throw away from Chatswood.
As for the space itself you essentially get the entire upper level of their home. There's a nice private room with private bath within. The space was comfortable, inviting, and very relaxing.
On my first day there I had an open agenda so Margie suggested that I visit the Harold Reid Foreshore Track. This was a lesser-known, secluded area for a decent hike. It's located in Middle Cove (not far from willoughby) and filled with all sorts of birds, plant life, and a really beautiful, scenic experience capstoned by stunning views of the cove/bay itself.
I really wish I could have stayed at Margie's longer but as this was the end of my trip I'm truly grateful that I had a chance to experience Margie's kindness and just overall "motherly nature" (forgive me for saying that...) but it's true!! She's super kind and makes a killer muffin for breakfast! She also makes a stunning muesli that is sure to satiate any appetite.
Thanks Margie!
