Prefect break from cold & wet UK
The property was fully up to the standard as expected. Air conditioning and fans worked and the pool was clean and maintained. We were there for 3 weeks and Sally ensured that the laundry was looked after. Sally was a great host who was able to give advice on our queries about a nephew driving up from Brisbane with a small motorboat. It was was the perfect space for us, and an adult nephew. We arrived shortly after the cyclone had been through so there was some localised damage to the local road network. But this is the tropics so you need to expect high temperatures and high humidity in January. Hence the air conditioning! The location is great for a short walk up the road to the centre of town either along the very quiet road or along the beach. Past a Surfy bar and the jellyfish netted off swimming area. Plenty of walkable places to eat and drink in town but our best find was the Tin Shed. Community run with very good food and superb views out to the Coral Sea. It made economic sense to us to become members even for a few weeks. Also our old favorites Lady Douglas, reef trips, Huntley Crocs and a fishing trip up the estuary, even spotting a salty croc. New for us this time was the Wildlife Habitat centre. Do not know how we missed it before but really good walk-through. All in all great area to visit with lots to do and Sally's place was perfect.
