Gull Cottage is a special place to stay in St Helens with amazing views over the bay. There has obviously been a great deal of thought and love put into renovating, decorating and making the cottage a home. We loved the character of the place and felt very privileged that Gary and Trish have shared their much loved home with us.
The Cottage itself is fully equipped with everything you could think of to make the stay comfortable. Plenty of firewood and kindling for the wood combustion fire. A fully stocked kitchen with good quality appliances, cookware and utensils. A neat laundry with cleaning equipment and books, toys and games for the family. The beds were amazingly comfortable with the softest sheets I have ever slept in. They have the most incredibly detailed compendium with information about the cottage and things to do in Tasmania.
A few notes about the place - there is an ensuite off the main bedroom on the ground floor, an additional powder room and a bathroom with shower on the mezzanine to service the two upstairs bedrooms. A note that there is no bath (not that this bothered us at all). There is ample wardrobe storage in all bedrooms and I appreciated the luggage racks available to use. The bedrooms are huge and have plenty of space for a sitting area in each.
Gary and Trish also went out of their way to source a portacot for our toddler with sheets and blankets. It was great to have a fully fenced nature playground just across the road to take the little ones to, as well as a large grassy space out the front where the kids could kick a ball while we enjoyed a wine on the gorgeous deck.
