Weene Cottage is a lovely, well presented and immaculate renovated little cottage.
It is situated as the 2nd of 3 properties along a shared driveway and is semi detached from the newer modern main home on the waterfront. It’s an amazing set up to see so many properties all so compact and co existing in such tight quarters. The cottage has a beautiful front garden and veranda set below the neighbouring homes ( which do all overlook the cottage) and just next to the communal driveway. We enjoyed the space and found it quite peaceful, given its location.
It would have been nice to enjoy the entire cottage as stated, but there was a main room locked up that we could not access. The lounge / dining area only had sheer white blinds, so it did get very hot upstairs on the warmer days and the cottage does not have air conditioning, fans or screens on any windows. Also, there is quite a bit of sun glare from the parked cars outside in the 2 driveways surrounding the cottage that beam through the sheers. A small annoyance easily fixed with some lovely curtains or proper blinds. The owner Greg did inform us that the parking area outside the entry door, which is opposite their main entrance, would be ours exclusively for our stay. This was not the case, with cars coming & going throughout our stay and even someone vacuuming and cleaning their car just outside our door / window - which is also the bedroom space. Just a few points of issue.
We were met and shown around by Greg upon arrival and offered a lovely array of pantry items, fresh fruit and flowers that were appreciated! Also, the wonderful housekeeping manager Gloria, bid us farewell and ensured the space was lovely and fresh.
