Mel’s cottage is inviting and cosy, and centrally located in the middle of town. However, when we arrived there were no fire lighters, no kindling and no axe to chop the logs of jarrah provided (just a small tomahawk). The IGA was closed so we could not purchase fire lighters. We did manage to get the fire started eventually after foraging for kindling. We were pleased to find a fresh bundle of firewood delivered on our second day, but an axe or delivery of firewood would go a long way to helping get a fire started. We requested a password to access wifi, but none was provided. Instructions were provided for the TV, but we weren’t able to get it work. Happy to have a weekend away without such comforts, but a fire on a winter night is pretty essential.
