We recently stayed in Vivienne and Patrick’s accommodation located in Lowden, about 10 mins outside of Donnybrook. The accommodation is a furnished shed and perfect for its location. It has three bedrooms and can sleep up to 6. All of the beds come with linen and plenty of extra blankets and towels. There are two living areas, one with a TV and the other with a large and very comfy sectional. Plenty of space for everyone to do what they want - whether it’s sitting and reading or playing games, or watching the footy on TV. There is a fully functional kitchen with a new electric stove top and oven, a microwave, refrigerator and all the crockery and cutlery you could need. There is a bathroom off the kitchen with a shower, toilet and laundry trough. Although the owners (who are so very lovely) live in the property, you are separated by paddock and a dam. The dam provides entertainment for the kids or young at heart and there is a canoe under the peppercorn tree to use if you want. There are plenty of places to go for a walk and even some cows and sheep around at different times.
The property is on tank water so thoughtfulness is appreciated when showering etc. there is a family of birds that come and go from the shed but they cause no harm and add to the charm. We were able to take our dog and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Lowden is a great place to start daily adventures around the region from, and being located so close to Donnybrook means amenities are close at hand.
A really comfortable space big enough for everyone to do what makes them happy. The hosts are exceptionally friendly and we look forward to returning very soon.
