General Overview
The little house is a charming weatherboard, located at the end of our property but completely separate from the main house. It is colourfully decorated with velvets and linens, nestled into landscaped gardens.
It overlooks the fire pit which is perfect for Winter evenings and there is a log fire in the little house too.
It is a hop and skip to our beautiful pool and spa which you will be welcome to use during your stay.
There are decks to the front and rear for morning coffee of afternoon drinks.
You can walk to local cafes and a fabulous bakery and a bottle shop. The quaint village of Mount Eliza is a 5 minute drive or twenty minute stroll and has many cafes, restaurants, supermarket and other amenities. The local beaches are more or less next to the village with their quaint and colourful beach boxes.
The Space
The cottage has a separate bedroom overlooking the gardens and a spacious shower room.
There is an inside seating area overlooking the front deck and gardens as well as a separate snug area with velvet sofa where you can sit by the log burning fire or watch tv.
During your stay you can use the pool and spa at your leisure. Providing it is not a fire ban day (this happens frequently during the hot summer months) you are welcome to sit by the fire pit.
