Beautiful old charming cottage in beautiful countryside near beautiful Kalgan River. Very peaceful and serene esp in the early mornings and sunset. But for hayfever sufferers, do remember to bring your spray/tablets. I forgot and my hayfever got triggered. Not fun at all :-( The cottage itself is very clean, quiet and private, very tastefully decorated and filled with so much arts and crafts books and novels that would present interesting read. For such an old cottage, it's doing pretty alright and very popular, thanks to the great care and renovation by Helen. I especially love the bathroom and kitchen (the new extension to the cottage). The hot shower was amazing and good quality body wash was also provided. Helen is a great friendly host and I feel that she's so lucky to live in such amazing place with an amazing job surrounded by flowers and nature (Thanks for the lovely fruit loaf and fresh eggs) I also took the advantage of her property of being at the very start of Luke Pen walk and walked through her massive property down to the beautiful Kalgan River and then onto the trail. As the sun was setting, the golden hues really was stunning and my aim was to walk up only to that massive and impressive Kingfisher steel art that's not that far at all from Helen's backgate. I definitely would recommend all guests to do this walk! (ps: and do the Kalgan cruise as well!)
