Family weekend away
We had a lovely time exploring the Coromandel and Sybil's place was exactly what we needed. Great location for walking to nearby cafes/restaurants and I loved the art work on the walls. Wifi was not very good - I kept getting disconnected. This wasn't a problem for us and Rob was generally very responsive and helpful, so if I'd mentioned it then he may well have fixed it.
