About the host
Hosted by Angie Dawes
Hi there, we are from Sydney and love to escape the city to Murrays Beach for some relaxing family time. We love the serenity and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
Murrays beach is all about relaxing amongst the Australian native trees listening to the sounds of the birds. With lots of bush walks and a short walk to the lake and drive to some of the best beaches on the coast, it really does have the best of both worlds.
