Wonderful little cottage to stay, a character filled cosy haven to relax and enjoy the ambience so skillfully presented by the lovely host Susan. Private little sun filled garden/court yard with a selections of ferns, flowers and herbs. Such a special place, close/walking distance to everything, trains, beach, river walks, shops and cafe.I stayed 2 nights and Susan made me feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Linen and towels first class.The kitchen was well equiped with added extras, a full litre of milk, coffee/tea etc. and a welcome platter of cheese, fruit and biscuits and bottled water. The heater was turned on for me prior to my early evening arrival and a glorious vase of flowers in the kitchen to welcome me.I couldn't fault it, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a visit for a solo traveller or couple.I travelled from East Gippsland, am looking forward to the next excuse to return and hope this little gem is available then.
