Having stayed at this property two years ago and absolutely loving our time here, we booked again with a little hesitation because we weren't sure if the second time around could match the bliss of the original visit. Round two at this lovely home was even better than the first! We cannot rate the Avalon Life highly enough. Outstanding beaches minutes by car in every direction (there are at least seven within 15 minutes!), a plethora of cool little cafes and eateries within a stroll or short drive from the house and in the surrounding area, and the proximity to Sydney and other area attractions make this little part of the world a can't miss.
The place itself is both stylish and laid back with a large deck in a bush-like setting where tropical birds literally swoop down daily to eat from your hand. You can see both the bay and the sea from the deck, and the sunsets are lovely. The house great for kids, with a trampoline out back a tons of toys and books available. Our six-year-old loves it. There are four bedrooms, two I would characterize as "adult" rooms with beds big enough for two people and then two rooms perfect for kids. Two full bathrooms is also nice. The open plan living room, dining room, kitchen is a great space to relax and the TV/Wifi/Chromecast was nice to have on hand. Zoe was a great host both times.
The only knock is that the house did have a bit more wear and tear than our last visit, which is understandable since it had been two years. However the porch and sliding doors have just been redone to incorporate the outside space more and it looked like a backyard revamp was getting started.
Overall, Zoe's place has become one of our favorite in the world (and that's saying a lot from a couple on country 44). Book and enjoy (just don't take our dates!).
