WOW what a beautiful cottage

What can I say but WOW. What a fantastic cottage Abelia Botanical is. It is close to everything - town, lakes, gardens. It had everything you could possibly need in it and if you can find anything that it doesn't have I would be surprised. When we arrived late on a cold damp Friday we were welcomed by Ky who gave us a tour of where everything was and how to work the Foxtel, the internet and even a massage chair! The cottage had been warmed for our arrival and even the electric blanket on the bed was turned on for us. Then in the morning we were woken by the sound of Kookaburras. It was just so relaxing, even to just sit on the porch and watch the sunrise. Ky is a fantastic host and made sure we were ok from when we were lost on the journey there till when we left. I did not want to leave but the reality of a job made me pack up till next time. Thanks Ky for a great weekend and a warm cottage.
