This place is a delight from the start. Once you’re out of your car, you enter a secluded paradise. The rooms are well equipped - the bedding is sumptuous, and the hosts had put beautiful flowers out - in the bedrooms and in the public spaces. The decor is tasteful and fun and there’s a very thoughtful selection of books for visitors.
The kitchen is well equipped with all a good cook would need - though I did’t choose to cook for my stay.
The real surprise and centre of the home is the pool - it was a draw card for me to choose this place in the first place - but it’s so much bigger and sparkler than the pictures show - it is long enough to do proper laps. I enjoyed just lazing by the pool and looking out over the beautiful orchard. The large lounge room out the back has a huge tv - and I enjoyed watching a film there.
There’s also a private rainforest walk down to a creek bed on the property - my dog and I had a great time walking down there and sitting on the bench down there. Wish we’d seen a platypus (apparently they are local to the area), but we enjoyed the immense calm, the bird calls and the trees.
As I was travelling with my dog it was important she was able to stay - Lisa and Kate made her very welcome - a dog bowl and water bowl were waiting for her when we arrived!
I needed a relaxing stay - I was using Cooinda as a stop-over on the way to Brisbane. I just wish I’d had longer to enjoy this magical place. I will be back and will bring friends, as it would be a perfect place to host a lunch or dinner. And the cherry on the top: Lisa and Kate let me check in hours early, and then were so kind in letting me check out late. I can’t say enough good things about this place - it is the perfect place to recharge.
