We chose Bree's cottage for location, location, location - walking distance to the fascinating Botanical Gardens, the lovely Eastern Beach and the CBD with plenty of eateries. Also we wanted a safe place for our dog to be outside while we were sightseeing. There is another bigger courtyard not shown in the photos which gave him room to move and us an outdoor setting for a meal or a cuppa. My husband described the house as "cute in a dumpy kind of way." If you can change your expectations when you arrive to focus on the benefits (location, good sleep, hot shower) you will have a good time. As described, it is a rickety old house so if that bothers you then stay away.
