This was my second visit, returning after Christmas and the New Year spent with my family elsewhere in a larger place, having stayed there for a while before Christmas. It's a lovely place to stay, with everything very clean and comfortable, with carefully thought out decor to reflect the location near the beach and the ocean. Kitchen facilities are basic - fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave, but perfectly adequate given the number of eating places within 5 to 10 minutes walk and further afield accessible by bus or car (bus stops without a minute or two into town, Coogee or Bondi). Diane and Al are wonderfully friendly and helpful, and quick to respond to queries or problems. The location is quiet and a few minutes from Mahon Pools and the main beach at Maroubra (a bit hilly though, but then everywhere in Maroubra is). I loved it. I hope I’ll be able to return when I next visit my family who live nearby.
