The cabin was absolutely as beautiful as the pictures promised.
Margaret had a freshly baked load of bread, eggs, slices of cake, and some delicious fruit waiting for me on arrival. The cabin is really well-equipped with cooking equipment. There was plenty of firewood waiting for me - and I lit a fire every night, which was wonderful. Laurence ensured to check in that I had enough wood, but he didn't need to replenish it while I was there.
Margaret and Laurence were fantastic hosts and lovely people. They gave me my own space, but were available if I needed anything. Their beautiful home is only a short walk away. They are both clearly passionate about their property and the wildlife and their animals. Joyce the dog is a delight, and it was always great to see her (and throw sticks for her) when Laurence would ride by on Pilgrim the horse. The cows were in the paddock next to the cabin in the mornings, and they were fun to watch with their calves.
The neighbours across the road could occasionally be a bit noisy during the day (only minor stuff like riding around on their 4-wheeler), but Laurence has a hand-drawn map of the property, and you can go on a little 10min walk and not have anyone around and sit under a huge tree or in a paddock or in a freezing cold rockpool with only tadpoles for company.
I would definitely return, and can highly recommend this cabin for a getaway. It was a great retreat for me by myself - I felt very safe, and it would be equally wonderful for a small family or as a romantic escape for a couple.
