Three things make Kookaburra Down Under a standout.
1. The location so close to Coogee’s beach, ocean baths, restaurants and cafes.
2. The cool calm privacy of the large ground floor flat with its zoned lighting that spotlights spaces as if you had separate rooms. The flat’s whitewashed walls made me feel as if I was in a villa in the Greek isles. There is no view,
3. however you can use the brilliant deck, above the street level, for your outdoor space as well as a lush back garden. The deck is screened by palms, swept by ocean breezes; an outdoor living room w a glimpse of the sea and the chatter of local birds (rainbow lorikeets, I’m looking at you). It’s also a place to chat w your hosts and other guests which I appreciated as a solo traveler.
Tracy is a laid back, responsive and helpful host who lives with her family on the floor above (you will hear footsteps - human and canine.)
The flat’s kitchen is exceptionally well equipped w a good starter pantry. The bathroom is big enough to be a bedroom (as it once was) and for couples, the laundry has a second sink and toilet. I slept well in the huge king bed.
The flat looks just like the photos but they don’t completely convey how very comfortable you will be here.
