Centrally located, this is an ideal base, from which you can explore the magnificent south east and Ireland's oldest city, Waterford. I am surrounded by beautiful villages, town and cities, which are home to a vast array of attractions, amenities, walking, cycling and hiking trails, beaches, historic sites, scenic and picturesque nature parks, award winning restaurants and bars, wooded and river walks, museums, coastal drives, golf clubs and leisure centres and much, much more!! Your room is upstairs and has a private bathroom across the hall, featuring a jacuzzi bath. A large supply of toiletries are provided for your convenience. The room is east facing, so you can enjoy watching the sun rise, which is so beautiful and a great way to start the day. The double bed has a heated electric under blanket, with 3 heat settings. There are two window blinds, one for privacy and light, and the other is a black out blind, which creates a wonderful darkened room for rest and sleep. A variety of breakfast options are provided in the room, which has a mini fridge, toaster, kettle and microwave. You may park in the driveway when you arrive. Self-check in is facilitated and access to the property is via a lock box, which contains the front door key. I will provide the access code before you arrive. I may be at home when you arrive, but if not, please settle in and enjoy your room and your stay at Aurora. Please contact me if I can help in any way with any request or question you may have.
My home is peaceful and relaxing, and I like to give guests privacy to enjoy their stay. I also like to greet guests where possible and help with any questions or requests or make recommendations as required. I myself enjoy so much of what this area has to offer, especially walks along the magnificent nature and river walks, on the local beaches and in the woods. I look forward to welcoming you to Aurora. I will endeavour to do my very best to ensure that your stay is relaxed, comfortable, and enjoyable.
Portlaw is a beautiful place, with fabulous attractions, a lovely Bistro, bars, a Chinese take away, pizza and fish and chip take aways, grocery stores, a Pharmacy, a Library, a Credit Union, hairdressers, a garage, a Post Office and a Heritage Centre, all within walking distance. The neighbourhood is very friendly and welcoming.
