Once I realised that the studio at the front of the block was not the house ,the directions and instructions could not have been clearer and I easily found the room and the key and let myself in and I was left to my own devices until I checked out, in a peaceful frame of mind ready to take on the 3.5 hour trip back home in the upper Hunter Valley.
The gardens at Sandra’s were beautiful, cosied into a recess on the side of the hill under a canopy of large fig trees. A magnificent birds nest fern was in full display mode beside the path on the way to my room. I was taken with both the garden and my room.
I only met Sandra once with her husband on the driveway whilst they were on the way out.AND that was all I needed or wanted, a bed to put my head on when I got home from the premiere of a film that my son and his good mate helped to make and to be left undisturbed….which I was.
Yes, I enjoyed my stay at Sandra’s. Maybe next time I will make the effort to walk down to Chinaman’s Beach
