We booked at the Surgeons Cottage because we wanted to get off the beaten track and stay at a place with character and water views. The Tiger retreat, Surgeons cottage was above our expectations, we did not want to leave. Catherine had thought of everything and went above and beyond to accommodate her guests. The views were spectacular, the house itself was restored so well you actually felt transported back to the 1800's whilst utilising our modern needs such as the cooking facilities and the WI-FI. Our family gathered over a game of scrabble at the dining room table whilst we cooked our family meal in the kitchen which was just in the next room. After the meal had finished we moved into the sitting room and relaxed in the comfortable couches in front of an amazing open fire. There is a lovely house in the garden for the possums and the pigeons live quietly on the window sill. It is a private property, quiet and off the road. In the morning you can enjoy a coffee and sit on the balcony and enjoy the views and watch the sun rise over the water. I have rated 5 stars for everything. It is worth every penny and could not fault anything. A tip.....The Egg beater is located on the Island bench drawer which is hard to see. Brilliant and will definitely stay there again. Thanks so much Catherine.
