Mike & Tamsin made us feel most welcome & couldn't have been more helpful throughout our 9 night stay, with advice & support especially when we had a problem back home. They have a delightful family including Snoopy the dog who is quite a character & very friendly. The Cabin is quiet, private & charmingly decorated with the sea in the distance. Everything is there, albeit on a small scale, great fridge & comfy bed. Great to sit on the terrace for breakfast listening to the birds. Mike is justifiably proud of his solar powered system which provided us with a great hot shower. We were also able to use the washing machine in the house & Tam provided the odd thing we needed. Mike also took Peter surfing which was much appreciated! We know the area well, as friends live 2 doors away, ideal for us. There is a 2 minute walk to the bus stop for the bus to Manly, then ferry to the City, 10 + mins over the hill to Dee Why with it's beach & restaurants, 10 mins to North Curl Curl beach. There is also a small group of shops & a hip cafe round the corner. We will definitely return for another stay & would highly recommend this listing for anyone wishing for a throughly good base to explore the area with great hosts. Thank you Tam & Mike for a lovely time.
