グッドライフ、ボーリーポイント

Young at heart 50 something English- Australian couple - Vicki & Kevin, married for over 2 decades, no kids - prefer dogs, loving life in Cornwall and visiting downunder whenever we can. We’re experienced holiday home owners, so aim to be great hosts, as well as considerate guests when staying in others’ homes .

Kevin spent a lot of his childhood and youth on holiday from Canberra in Bawley and the South Coast area, plus we have some very good friends who have a place there that we've often stayed with.

It was whilst staying with them during our honeymoon that we decided we needed to keep some Aussie roots and thought - what better place than Bawley!

The same friends found The Good Life for us after we left and we bought the house unseen! We've never looked back, but only wish that time and money would allow us to visit more often. Definitely we hope to retire there when the time comes.

The house is a perfect getaway for couples or families and because it's our second home, we continually make improvements to make sure it has all the home comforts necessary to provide the perfect holiday experience.

The downstairs area for the kids works really well, yet the upstairs is doubled in size by the front and back decks so that there is always a quiet space for everyone to find.

We also have a desk area downstairs in case you want to extend your holiday and work remotely. We have the maximum NBN Internet plan we can get for this area, with approximate speeds of 50 mbps download, 17 mbps upload.

As the house is in a cul-de-sac, there is hardly any traffic and our visitors' kids often hang out on their bikes or kick a footie on the road or in the nature reserve opposite.

On the subject of nature, during our recent stay at the house in March 2018, we saw dolphins, penguins and stingrays in the water; and had kangaroos quietly eating grass in front of the house - disturbed only by the cookaburras laughing at them!

We have a resident brown owl that sits in the palm tree on the side of the house and we could just sit for hours on the front deck watching the many birds and generally enjoying the serenity.

One of our grown-up nephews calls it the 'Bawley Valium' that hits you soon after you arrive. Amazing really that he still feels that effect when he has two young sons!

We all sleep better at Bawley and each time we go it is harder and harder to leave.
