Best ever homestay!!. It truly felt like being home. Laurel is an absolutely amazing lady who went out of the way to make us feel comfortable. I will highly recommend her place to anyone who like a warm and comfortable stay with a great company.

We are very grateful to laural for opening up her home to our family to experience Australian culture and lifestyles. She was too kind and warm to us. our experience in Sydeny was the most wonderful 9 days of our life. She provided us with all we need to be a beautiful vacation. She welcomed us graciously and made us feel right at our home. I felt completely comfortable in the house and was able to watch television whenever I wanted, cook and use the kitchen, and eat with her meals. When I got home in the evenings, I would tell Laurel about our day and she tell us about her day.Most days she take and guide us to the most beautiful places such as opera house for fireworks , river for BBQ, Beaches for swimming, Mountains for enjoy the altitude panorama of the beach. My Daugher also spend a good time with Laurel playing and talking in English. our experience in Sydeny a truly memorable one. she made us feel that we should go Sydeny more and more. We loved Sydney because we loved Laurel.Thanks a lot Laurel and hope a good health and active life as you are.
