Hi I'm Stu; a 65 year old father of three grown up boys. I have lived in Torquay for 30 years and recently finished building this house, with the idea to rent three rooms on Airbnb. There's nothing I like better than going surfing with my boys at our favourite breaks along the Surf Coast, and meeting new people with interesting stories of travel and life. I also enjoy gardening, the odd hit of golf; cooking, reading and movies. I work part-time driving the airport shuttle between Geelong and Melbourne Airport. In my spare time I write fiction. I Stay at our place if you like a relaxed beach holiday atmosphere. Your accommodation is modern, clean, comfortable and private, with plenty of freedom to choose how you will enjoy your stay. You might end up joining us for a family dinner or BBQ, or maybe enjoy a night out at one of the many cafes and restaurants along the foreshore. Because I work nights, you might even have the whole place to yourselves, to treat as your own for the night. The most important thing is - enjoy your stay.
