Weekend at Pt Lonsdale

We really enjoyed Louise's property. It is in a great location - off the main road and secluded in a cul de sac but only a short walk to Pt Lonsdale strip and beach). The place was clean and bright, and the furnishings modern and comfortable. While attached, the property is very private and separate from the main residence.
