There's just so much to be said for our stay in Tindalls Beach.
Eddie and Sue are such a warm and welcoming couple. They made us feel very much like family. Nothing was too hard and their local knowledge meant we were able to find our way around quickly. They also gave us some great tips on wonderful spots to visit that are not on the typical tourist path.
The house itself is first class. The photos on the booking sites really don't do it justice. The views over the bay and Manly beach from the upper master bedroom are like a huge panorama, yet are remarkably private from others looking in. It's worth just sitting up there to enjoy it for its own sake.
All the modern features are there including a really well appointed kitchen. There are plenty of windows to make the most of the light and the great views. The outdoor living area on the deck is large with those big views just inviting you to soak up the sun and sea air while taking it all in. But the two inside lounge areas are equally inviting for relaxing and huge sliding doors bring the outside in if you like.
Eddie and Sue are very proud of this house and rightly so. It is lovely and clean and well appointed. So don't be surprised when you are asked to please treat it with the respect it deserves.
Being close to the Manly shops, restaurants and cafe's makes meals easy - we especially liked Cafe Manly. The owner was a real laugh and the staff very friendly.
The Shakespear regional park just up the road is worth a look for amazing 360 degree views of the region.
If you want a quiet spot close to facilities for a restful holiday, easy access to Auckland for the not-so-restful parts of the holiday and a base to explore from, this will suit you.
Thanks again to Eddie and Sue for making our holiday so memorable.
David.
