Where do I start with Chambls Shack. We arrived late in the day and Lou had popped the heater on for us and left some lovely tunes playing, which made for the most beautiful and welcoming arrival. My husband, daughter and I were all blown away by the cottage, and the incredible view and location, overlooking the beautiful Verona Sands beach. The cottage felt super welcoming and homely with the coolest touches of nostalgia and retro-chic. The way Lou has styled the home with treasures collected from the sea, vintage furniture pieces and art, and modern and luxe appliances and linens makes for the most amazing home to settle down for a few days of R&R. We only left to get milk! The sofas and beds were SO comfy with beautiful luxurious linens and blankets, we curled up by the fire and the armchairs quite literally wrapped their arms around us. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need for cooking, and we were surprised with a beautiful welcome note and cheese platter and breaky goodies. The bathroom was modern with excellent water pressure and hot water. I could continue to write about this place all day. The quirks and wobbly bits of the cottage reminded us of places we used to stay as kids and made us feel so at home, and we felt comfortable to use everything from the board games to the gum boots (thanks Lou!), which I think is hard to master in some stays especially with kids. The story of Lou’s family history in the area is a really lovely addition too. We loved our stay so much, and cannot wait to visit Chambls again soon. Thanks so much Lou! X
