Facing spectacular views of the harbour with a national park for a backyard, Jill's home sits high on a hill above any scenic interference, giving it a sense of peace and solitude within a convenient little suburb.. Host Jill, is colourful and classy and so too is the self-contained apartment she has created underneath her home. Vibrantly furnished with eclectic pieces and a fully equipped kitchen, Jill knows quality and how to indulge her guests. Crisp white bed linens, the fluffiest pillows, fresh bathrobes, heated towel rails, cast-iron saucepans, cappuccino maker complete with fresh coffee beans, well stocked dvd library, beautiful dinnerware and more, decorate this opulent little hide-away. Jill has created the ideal mix of luxury, quality and privacy reminiscent of a high-end boutique hotel and the relaxed comfort and familiarity of a home. The apartment has its own entrance and has been thoroughly sound-proofed, which allowed us to enjoy our privacy without disruption. Jill is astute and professional as a host; from the secure key access on arrival, her detailed itinerary and recommendations, through to locally made guest soaps provided for your indulgence. Yet upon meeting, Jill was all warmth and character, telling tales that were even funnier animated with her British accent and vocabulary. Jill is easy to like and makes you feel welcome and was readily available, be it for assistance or directions or an entertaining anecdote. Jill was The Perfect Host; mostly unseen, unobtrusive and never too far away, all at once. This trip she afforded me the break from people I was in desperate need of and only appeared when needed, although my partner enjoyed her energy and chats on occassion. However, I'd love to return one day and share a bottle of wine and a sunset with Jill as she is clearly one of those people who has enjoyed a rich and interesting journey and I wish her all the joy and success as her adventure continues.
Great accommodation. Great experience. Great host.
Thank you, Alex and Michael
