Each Queen's Birthday weekend we head away with friends of ours for a catch up weekend. This year we headed to Barwon Heads and were so thrilled to have found such an amazing base.
Our group was two couples and four children aged 8, 10, 10 and 13. The house was perfectly set up for the two families. We stayed downstairs as we have the older children, the two 10 year friends stayed in Frankie's room upstairs, the younger son stayed in the guest room (which is enormous) upstairs on a trundle and our elder daughter stayed in Coen's room. We all slept extremely well, in all the beds, they were REAL beds, not holiday house cheapies. The linen was gorgeous, all so generously appointed with lovely pillows and blankets - certainly even better than my own home!
Although the photographs on Skye and Kate's profile are great, they honestly don't convey just how homely and stylish their house is. The two mums in the group took endless photographs of their styled nooks in every corner of the house - noting that we really needed to lift our game in terms of EVERYTHING about our own homes. The indoor plants, the gorgeous little knick knacks, the artwork, the rugs, everything was really so inspiring. Being in a home like this also made you feel you were staying in a friend's home as it has really personality, it's not a shell of a holiday house.
The kitchen is really well appointed. We made a killer Mediterranean feast on the Saturday night and it was all the more special for having gorgeous platters and table ware to use. The kitchen is fully supplied with anything you might need.
It was very cold when we were in Barwon Heads, but the heating in all areas is great. It will be great, however, if we get a chance to get back in the summer. The double doors at the back thrown open to the gorgeous deck and beautiful seaside garden.
Skye kept in touch really well - generous in answering questions about the area and welcoming in advance of our stay.
Thank you girls, for sharing your beautiful home with us, you've created an idyllic and enviable space.
