We had just finished a long day's bicycle ride in very windy and wet weather and when we rolled down into Richmond and over the bridge to Skye's place it seemed as if we'd escaped into a whole different little world. The trees calmed the wind and the quiet of the town settling into evening was welcome. After hot showers for all, our family settled into an evening of board games (wonderful collection) and music at the piano (wonderful collection of music as well). We popped over to the hotel for an evening meal and then returned to the cottage to escape the winds again and settle down for the night...monopoly tournament continuing with continuous piano accompaniment. The cottage was such a unique stay for us on this tour of Tasmania - so thoughtfully put together, you'd almost never have to leave for anything. Warm, cozy, clean, and with many personal touches that made us feel right at home. Skye was a gracious hostess - very responsive to my questions regarding recommendations in the area. We would enjoy returning to this cottage and to Richmond another time or two.
