My husband and I were in need of a few relaxing nights away and after having a look at various options on Airbnb we found and chose this cute little post office which has been turned into a quaint little cottage. Carolyn and John gave us a warm welcome and showed us around the cottage and the beautiful farm. John also showed us a lemon myrtle tree which we used the leaves for making some refreshing tea. The cottage itself is delightful and nostalgic, with cosy country-style decor, a water bed and John's handmade furniture (the green-stained vanity in the bathroom is gorgeous). In front of the house there is a well maintained lawn where we played some badminton (supplied) and also made use of the provided board games and DVD movies. There is no TV reception, but this didn't worry us at all, as it was great to get away from reality. Even though the DVD's were a bit before our time they were still really interesting to watch and added to that old-world feel, which we as a younger couple enjoyed. Because it was summer, we spent most of our mealtimes out on the summer deck which is surrounded by lovely trees and there we were serenaded by wild butcherbirds and kookaburras. The farm itself is beautiful with a great view of Mt Warning (which is only a short drive away) from the hill, wonderful fresh air as well as cute miniature cows. On our final day, we had breakfast at the rainforest cafe, where we watched the tortoises, fish and eel and took a stroll around the nursery.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night getaway. It was so peaceful and refreshing here and we were really impressed with the very reasonable price that allowed us to have the entire cottage to ourselves. We would love to come stay here again in the future.
