Highly recommended! We really appreciated Tess and Rod's generous hospitality, all their tips for the area (we needed dog friendly places because we had our pup with us), and Tess's delicious breakfast. The yard is big and fenced off, and there's a lovely large patio with a pond that is perfect for sitting and reading in the sun. It's walking distance to a dog park, The Newport (good pub grub), and the Newport shops / beach (about 2km). We'd definitely stay again the next time we are visiting the Northern Beaches.
