About Bronwyn Reid
I have lived in Melbourne, Sydney (mostly living and attending school at Chatswood) and Adelaide; and rurally for about 25 years now. While my beloved Sydney (Harbour) is still within easy reach (delightful train journey up the coast), the lifestyle and beauty of this Jervis Bay region is very hard to beat, and there is always somewhere new to explore. I am working my way through the local tourism's "100 Beach Challenge" (up to about 50 at time of writing). I love travel, photography, reading, crafts, my pets, and living in this wonderful region, plus meeting my guests and their pets (I am currently working on my 'Dogues' Gallery' mk III). I have quite a few return guests and plenty of 5 star reviews to attest to how much people enjoy discovering Finchley B and B.

Why Bronwyn Reid chose Wandandian
The setting for Finchley offers the best of both worlds... pretty and peaceful here, and within a very convenient radius of so many lovely places and things to do. The cottage (and smaller unit listed separately - refer "Little Finchley" listing number 9201723) has a spacious verandah which is great for dining al fresco or a BBQ, enjoying the afternoon easterly breezes with a glass of wine. Other options are snoozing in the hammock under the gum trees, or sitting round the (new) fire pit toasting marshmallows on a clear, still night.
What makes this Cottage unique
We chose this site for our B and B because the existing cottage, set on a very gently sloping site, really lent itself to becoming a B and B. We built on a 2-storey extension as our private residence, and a while after the B and B cottage was up and running, added the smaller unit, (end section of original cottage) as more of a budget option, ideally for through-travellers who don't need or want all the space both indoor and out - provided with the cottage, but still being pet friendly and a smaller version of a home away from home. These two units can open up into a larger one for bigger groups. Many guests love all the fenced, secure space their pets can run around in safely, plus the dog-proof-fenced yard off a rear door; the smaller unit, a spacious, enclosed, gated verandah. Well behaved, house-trained pets are welcome indoors (bowls, rugs and couch protector provided), we ask only that they do not disturb other guests and that owners clean up after their pets.

A very peaceful place with an over abundance of goodies in the fridge and pantry. Very gracious host
This was a most enjoyable stay for the human as well as the canine guests. Our needs were more than met with a large range of goodies in the pantry and the fridge. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly. The facilities were excellent with a great verandah with good views. Spacious and clean and very private.
Tranquil and welcoming
An excellent stay with our dog who was welcome inside and had his own safe yard. Such generous provision of pantry items and breakfast supplies and the cottage was so very clean. Only a 20 minute drive to the beaches.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave feedback, Elizabeth, it's very much appreciated. I hope we'll have the pleasure of welcoming you back again some time. Bronwyn
A peaceful paradise!
My husband and I have just returned from a blissful holiday at Finchley B&B and can't say enough wonderful things about our experience. We spent a long weekend at Finchley with two our friends friends and two dogs and everyone had such an amazing time. The property is perfect for those with pups; the spacious yards are fully enclosed, so you have peace of mind and can relax while they play. Our dogs had the time of their lives romping around the place and were very sad to leave! The cottage is extremely comfortable, immaculate and beautifully decorated. Bronwyn has put so much work into ensuring every need is catered for; the pantry was stocked with anything you could ever want and the breakfast supplies were plentiful and delicious -- especially the eggs that were freshly laid by Bronwyn's chickens! We loved having our breakfast out on the gorgeous front porch, while watching the morning sun sparkle on the nearby lake. In the evening after a lovely day at the beach, we sat on the porch with wine and nibbles and watched the sun set. A spectacular lightning storm later that night just added to the magic of the experience! Bronwyn was a fantastic and friendly host, and we really enjoyed chatting and having a laugh with her. We have stayed at many places on the south coast, and this was by far our favorite. We will certainly be returning. If you have pets, or even if you don't, this is the place to stay for a wonderful weekend away from the city!!
Kristen, thank you so very much for your generous feedback, it's really appreciated, and I would love to see you all back here again in the not too distant future, as would Louis and Darcy! I owe you a glass of 'Marlborough'! You were model guests, and a pleasure to have with us. This is what it's all about, sharing a space we think is a bit special with new friends who enjoy a break from the 'big smoke'. Until next time! Bronwyn XXX
Very relaxing and quiet
Thankyou for a wonderful stay, even though Lilly seemed to be not her usual self!
Thank you, Dian. It was a pleasure to have you stay. All the best for moving on.
Best Dog Friendly Bed and Breakfast
We have stayed at many dog friendly accommodation over the past year and this is by far the best
The unit itself was clean and tidy and the attention to detail unbelievable
The units have great fenced areas which your dog is free to roam in and there are connecting gates which enable your pooch to play with the one next door (if that is appropriate)
Breakfast on the front porch in the morning sun was just a gorgeous way to start the day
Bronwyn has provided lots of extras in relation to food which we really appreciated and the breakfast provisions were excellent
We cannot recommend this property highly enough - just excellent
Thank you so very much Sue, it was a delight to have you with us, and I hope very much that we will see you here again!
Fantastic Getaway
Terrific, peaceful, relaxing setting. We couldn't have asked for more. Bronwyn's hospitality and attention to detail is second to none. Perfect place for a dog friendly getaway, our Greyhound, Tricky loved exploring the extensive yard, and meeting some new doggy friends. We will definitely be back, and would recommend Finchleys B&B to everyone looking for a home away from home just to unwind and recharge the batteries.
Thank you so very much Tracy for taking the time to review Finchley... I sincerely look forward to welcoming you all back in the not too distant future!! Kindest regards, Bronwyn
