Description
We are a busy family with 2 boys, aged 8 and 12. They are both busy with sport (soccer, hockey, surfing, rugby) and love hanging out with new interesting people. Mum and dad have professional jobs and one parent travels away usually once a month for a week. Dad loves kitesurfing and surfing and Mum prefers walking and good food and wine. We also have 2 awesome dogs called Charlie (9 year old labradoodle) and Bruno (2 yr old daschound)
We live in an incredible sought after beachside town called Casuarina in northern NSW and are beachfront with a short stroll to our amazing beach. Guests will have their own room, internet, bike, bathroom and surfboard if required. We have a pool and spa too!
