Simply perfect

This gorgeous cottage is situated in the most sumptuous grounds. Enjoyed a great stay with my 16yo. The house had everything we needed, including very generous breakfast offerings. The beds were super comfy. And to top it off our host even gave us a lift back after we did a great walk to Cockatoo.
