I cannot recommend Dencala enough! It was one of the most lovely, peaceful places I’ve stayed - due mostly to its location among the Karri trees. The house itself is charming, clean and cosy with spectacular floor to ceiling windows overlooking the forest. It’s set on a residential street, but as other guests have mentioned, it still feels really quiet. There are glimpses of other houses through the trees but I found it was quite easy to ignore them.
We loved to get up early and enjoy the morning light and feed the birds. In summer the deck would be an amazing place to relax but it was a bit too cold for us this time. At night it was great fun to light the pot belly, but otherwise the aircon does a really effective job at heating the place up.
The bedrooms were spacious, neat and tidy and the bathroom had a nice hot shower. Trish has provided some great dvds, books and games. We found we had everything we needed for an entertaining night in just waiting for us. The kitchen is super spacious and the pantry is quite well stocked with basics. So we cooked up a storm in our home away from home.
My only small complaint would be the few cobwebs and daddy long leg spiders I noticed around the place but it was otherwise spotless! It would have also been nice to have a bath mat and hand towels (bath towels were provided). Trish mentioned to me that her usual cleaner was away so it may have just been that the replacement forgot to put them out.
Anyway thank you Trish for a delightful time getting ‘back to nature’. We will definitely be back!
