After over 8 months of traveling (with short stopover in Germany) and well over 150 nights we've spent in our tent we decided to have the luxury of an apartment in Agnes Water. The apartments are called self-contained ones. It is a dream.
It is small and has everything we did not have for the last couple of months which kind of belongs to normal life – an own fridge, an own washing machine, chairs, couch, bed, bathroom, power, stove and dish washer. That is great!
A fridge in which we put all our stuff we had bought. Of course there were fridges on campgrounds as well; however we always had to share them with other campers. Unbelievable how big a fridge is if you have one for yourself and if you compare it with our cooling box.
Washing machine - in the last couple of months we had that luxury at Mike’s house in N.Y. and Bettina’s one in Seattle. Thus we really enjoyed to wash our stuff without inserting any coins and to go to a laundry store. This is so convenient.
A couch and chairs on the balcony. On the campground we can only sit down on our camping chairs and our luxury is our hammock. Well, a couch definitely has more comfort.

Our bedroom is our tent and our mattresses are 3 cm thick and filled with air. What a difference it makes to have a bed with a real mattress.
An own bathroom with toilet and a shower just some steps away from the bedroom and without sharing with anyone. We did not have that luxury while traveling - feels so good.
Power – we have at least 10 plugs so that we can charge several things at the same time. Nice.
Light! One turns on the light and the whole room is bright, even if it is dark outside (here it gets dark at 6pm). Isn’t that a little wonder? For one week we did not wear any headlights in order to cook or to read. We could sit and do whatever we were up to and thanks to this small ‘turn on’ switch without paying attention to the time. Perfect!
For cooking we have four hotplates, a microwave and a barbeque grill on the balcony. Our gas stove only has only one option to cook on. That is super. So many options no one really needs.
Dish washer. While we camp our sink is 30 cm big and you can fold it. The size of our dish washer is 80 cm high, wide and depths. Unbelievable what you can put into one and how quickly everything gets clean.
Every little thing counts for us and thus we really enjoyed our apartment. Besides that it was next to the café and grocery store, the newsagent and the surf board rental. A beautiful beach was 3 minutes walking distance. Moreover, the town is so small and has characters and the guys here are still real surfer mates. Backpackers here are limited. Thus we had 7 fantastic days in our little paradise.
