David and Nola are terrific hosts and their self contained and very private unit, below where they live, is highly recommended. David and Nola went out of their way to make us feel welcome; they are great hosts. The unit is a five minute stroll to Newport Beach that boasts a great and inexpensive surf club. A couple of minutes further on is the Newport Village which has many cafes and restaurants which are reasonably priced. And for those wishing to sample a modern Australian pub the Newport Arms hotel is only a 10 minute drive away. David and Nola's unit offered us a great opportunity to explore Sydney's beautiful northern beaches without the need to travel far. Thank you David and Nola. We will be back.
