“Pleasant Stay”
We found the cottage of Pam and Ross ideal for our purpose of wanting a location with good access to the Northern Beaches while still reasonably close to the centre of Sydney. We prefer to self cater and the extensive kitchen was great. Pam and Ross were excellent hosts and provided useful local information and recommendations for sightseeing. They were always on hand should we have required assistance but were never intrusive. Communications in making the booking were friendly and responsive. The property is in a quiet residential area and while there was no on-site parking, there is plenty of parking right in front of the property. While we had a vehicle, it was rarely used as public transport including the Manly ferry generally was a better option. We will look to stay with Pam and Ross next time we stay in Sydney.
