Eventhough we did not get the chance to meet Emily personally, since she was overseas, we had communicated with her several times prior to our arrival and she was always very friendly and accommodating and made sure that all our requirements had been met.
When we arrived, we were greeted by an elderly couple, Lyn and Stan who were Emily's friends and lived across the road and who were taking care of the house while she was away. Lyn and Stan were very warm and friendly and made sure we were comfortable. Stan would drop in somedays to feed the fish and he would always ask us if everything was okay. We needed some light bulbs for the house and I told Stan that I would get some. He told me not to worry and the next day he bought some for us. Lyn and Stan were amazing hosts and treated the house like their own. We miss them deeply and Stan promised that next time he would play his guitar for us with his band!
Emily's home was very warm and cosy and just wonderful and the whole family throughly enjoyed their stay. The house was immaculate and had everything in it including Indian spices! Emily was very generous with what we could use and her cupboards were stacked up with food stuff, cleaning equipment, office supplies and had ample supplies of towels, blankets and bed sheets.(even had a bike and surf boards!) It felt like we were at home! We had access to a computer, internet, Apple TV, cable, music and hundreds of books!
We felt very safe and the location was walking distance to Clovelly beach and to nearby shops. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this home to anyone wanting to just experience a relaxing holiday in very comfortable surroundings. Make sure you get the opportunity to meet Lyn and Stan also! They are awesome people and will put a smile on your face every time!
