Off the comfortable bedroom is a lovely bathroom with a claw foot bath and separate shower.

Nestled under the trees is our Garden Spa Bath House. Watch the night sky while sharing a lovely relaxing bath over a wine or two. Please pre-book for an additional $20
Secluded and quiet, both the cottage and studio can be booked as self-catering or with our continental or `DIY' full breakfast kit.

We loved our stay very much. The best location to walk to the shops/restaurants. Impeccably clean. Nice and quiet on a back section with off street parking and felt secure with a gate at the front driveway and keypad code to enter our studio.
