The Cottage….
The Cottage with bones and facade of a circa 1900 old-timer has been beautifully restored to accommodate the most discerning of guests but without taking away from the buildings old world charm.
Situated around 100m from The Lodge @ Windaboo, the main residence where your hosts and middle-aged pups reside, The Cottage has views down through the palm grove, across the vegetable garden as we’ll as sneaky views towards where the equine kids of Windaboo reside.
Modern inside with a mix of polished timber floors and polished concrete the open plan kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances (including a dishwasher) & stone benchtops as well as a breakfast area. The kitchen flows to 2 separate verandahs as well as into the dining area which flows on to the living area. One of the verandahs accommodates outdoor dining & resembles a garden room. The other verandah is L-shaped and provides alternate access to both bedrooms. The main bedroom has a king sized bed & the second bedroom has a queen sized bed & rack storage for clothes. Both bedrooms have views across the lawn to the palm grove & are separated by an entrance hall giving privacy to both. Previous guests have raved about the level of comfort of the beds and the luxurious linen provided. There are also blanket/ luggage storage trunks & two bath robes per bedroom are provided for your use and comfort during your stay. Additional overnight accommodation in the form of a double sofa bed is also available in the living room.
Both bedrooms & living rooms are equipped with fans but given the lovely breezes that flow through the cottage, they are not often necessary.
There is also heating available for the colder months.
The bathroom is equipped with a separate shower & the bath is set into a bay window.
