We had a great time with Marianne! She is a great cook, very friendly, helpful, and always there when you need her. The rooms are nice, our bed was comfortable, just the animals outside were very loud. The bathroom was clean (but it was only the two of us these weeks), in the kitchen we found all we needed. There is a bus station only 2 minutes away, several buses going to Manly Beach or the city (I recommend buying an OPAL card as soon as you arrive, you need this for all public transport). Marianne, thanks a lot!
