lovely cottage and location, bedding was “hard” and seating outside great but dining area again “hard” stools, not made for having a relaxing or comfortable dinner
Charming simple cottage in the country, well supplied with charming crockery and quality bedding. It is a short drive from Seal Rocks and on acreage with kangaroos and plenty of space.
