We had such a lovely experience at the cottage! We were tossing between staying right near Sawtell or at the cottage and I'm so glad we decided on the latter. The cottage was perfect, spotless clean and very new and modern. It has everything you need for your stay, great kitchen with all tools you could possibly need, aircon, nice sheets and towels, DVDs, books, and lovely touches like including essentials for breakfast, and chocolates (it was Easter!). Eggs from the chickens were delicious for breakfast sitting in the balcony while our 2 year old ran around looking for chickens. The hosts Alexandra and Stephen are lovely as are their kids who were so happy to show our son the bunnies and the horse. They were helpful and available but we still had a lot of privacy. Lots of info on things to do in the area available in the house too. Easy drive to Sawtell for beach and dinners. We would happily stay here again and recommend to friends.
