It's time ... for another review excerpt: How's this?

Judith’s place is amazing, so well appointed with every conceivable thing you could need & beautifully adorned with her quirky, interesting and stunning artworks throughout the home. We were able to help ourselves to the fully stocked pantry if needed as well as herbs from the garden. The beds were comfortable and the home was warm with split system heating. The views were stunning and we experienced the most spectacular full double rainbow whilst enjoying drinks on the upper balcony. Augusta in winter is always beautiful and even though we had some stormy weather we also had our share of sunshine, enough to enjoy a peaceful walk along the scenic river to the ocean to look for whales and to wander into the many little shops and cafes along the main street. The location of the apartment was a short walk to all of this so very convenient. Judith kindly gave us a gift of a book she has written about her life as a criminal lawyer which we look forward to reading. We will be back.
