We stayed at John and Margaret's place for 2 weeks in February and found it a wonderful place to stay. We love the Northern beaches area and access is easy to all the beaches and shopping right from Manly up to Palm beach. There is a good bus service and it only takes c1.5 hours all the way into Sydney if you don't want to drive.
Where to start? The house is in a lovely quiet road in Avalon just 5-10 minutes walk from all the shops, restaurants and beach. The accommodation is great, 2 big double bedrooms with lounge area, large bathroom and kitchen with washing machine, and best of all, use of a beautiful swimming pool.
John and Margaret were tremendous hosts and nothing was too much trouble. They have lived in the area for over 30 years and were able to give advice on everything we needed to know and do. We would recommend their property without reservation and would definitely use again if we visit Sydney again. Many thanks for helping us have a great holiday.
