This cottage is simply incredible! The restoration is impeccable. The tiny details inside are immaculate. All the mod cons are there, but hidden behind period doors or fittings (even a washing machine/dryer). The gardens and very private and quiet and had an unbelievable explosion of flowers while we were there (early Dec). The location is very quiet, up on the hill with good views and 15 min easy walk to the harbour through the University Rose Gardens. We did not want to leave the verandah, it was just so peaceful to sit there. Julian is a great host. He made us feel incredibly welcome, helped out with restaurant (Franks and then Smolts - yum) and touring suggestions and stocked the fridge with eggs, milk, juice, bread etc (large amounts). We have stayed in many places, but this is likely our best stay ever.
