We had a fabulous stay with Leigh and Phillip who are gracious hosts and well located on the northern beaches. As Airbnb hosts ourselves, it was a pleasure to find like-minded people that take such pride in their accommodation.

The studio is quite spacious and everything has been kitted out for the comfort of guests, with quality furnishings and nice small touches such as cosy dressing gowns, fragrant flowers, pantry staples, biscuits, milk, coffee and a lovely selection of teas (and we are tea fanatics!). Leigh can supply beach towels so you don't have to travel with you own, and even kindly provided a cool bag so we could have a picnic. Sitting on the terrace with views of the sea, it was not hard to imagine oneself in the Mediterranean instead of one hour north of Sydney, especially in the beautifully landscaped front garden.

There are wonderful cafes and restaurants in the area, and we left our favourite spots written in the guest book.If you like walking, the walk to and from Barrenjoey Lighthouse and along Palm Beach is just stunning. You can download the free app 'Sydway Walker' and the Barrenjoey to Narrabeen Lakes section lists all the good walks in the area.

Thanks again for a wonderful stay!
