Great location near 3 beaches, Tamarama is more of a surf beach but loved swimming at Bronte beach and ocean pool just around the corner. Would stay in this area again. Several good restaurants within 5min walk and easy to catch 333 bus into city. Comfortable bed and decent shower. Spacious enough for a couple. A few housekeeping issues that can be easily remedied. The kitchen has tea and coffee plus reasonable crockery and cutlery from Ikea but would benefit from some of the older beaten up pots and pans being upgraded along with supplying a decent bread board, chefs and bread knife, sieve, wine glasses and olive oil to make this an inviting place to cook or assemble food especially with the great produce shops nearby such as Kemenys.
A couple of issues that are less easily solved - noise from the apt above -not a major issue for us as we were out and about everyday and not super light sleepers. You can't hear conversations but can hear any contact with the floor including walking , running or vacuuming. Also I was a little disappointed not to get any sun on the deck - it is south facing so the sun didn't catch it in mid April - however you look out on a nice sunny vista.
Finally there was a dehumidifier running when we arrived which kept the place dry but there is evidence of damp on the walls so not sure if this is sufficient in winter.
Regarding the track to the beach, this is like a mini bush walk we used it once but found it more relaxing to stick to the usual routes to the beach.
