Firstly, I want to thank Jacqui for her outstanding hospitality. My husband and I were in Sydney during the Coronavirus outbreak, and thought that we may have to delay our flight home because of complications around this. We'd had some slight symptoms, and because we'd been travelling, thought we may have to get tested, which would mean postponing our flights until we got the results. We were extremely stressed about having to find new accommodation and move into it under those circumstances. When we explained our predicament to Jacqui, she was nice enough to talk to the people who were meant to stay at the apartment after us, and found a way for us to extend our stay if we needed, without disadvantaging her next guests. We were so grateful to her for this, and even though we didn't end up needing to extend, luckily, (we got the all-clear from a doctor) it was a huge relief to us to know that the option was there.
In terms of the stay itself, we had a wonderful fortnight at Cronulla. Even though we had bad weather for most of the 2 weeks, we loved our time there: we had a beautiful full-window view over the ocean and adjoining park and it was a pleasure to sit inside on the lounge, warm and cosy, watching the rain beating down outside. There was also a pair of sweet rainbow lorikeets and two garrulous cockatoos who would visit our balcony daily and provided endless enjoyment with their cavorting - they were a real highlight!
The location is perfect - just 10 mins walks from the shops and restaurants, with a beach at your doorstep, yet none of the bustle and noisiness of central Cronulla. The apartment is also beautifully decorated - I wanted to abscond with the rose-coloured sheets on the main bed! Jacqui was kind enough to leave supplies for breakfast, biscuits and a bottle of wine. If you needed additional supplies though, there was a small supermarket just a block away.
Overall, this was an ideal apartment and you couldn't ask for a more hospitable host than Jacqui.
