The photo's do not do Alva's Cottage justice..... it is truly a lovely place to stay - better than many luxury 5 star hotel's. The hosts have gone above and beyond. Everything has been thought of to ensure guests have a comfortable stay. The bathroom and shower are simply beautiful (and the shower is huge!). Comfortable bed, beautiful pillows & cosy doona (it was really cold, wet and windy during our stay at Barwon Heads) and the doona was just perfect to snuggle up under. The bedrooms are spacious also, you don't feel cramped in a tiny space - both bedrooms are very roomy. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with new & easy to use appliances. Sugar, Tea, Coffee, Spices, Milk & Snacks in the Pantry - amazing! Ton's of cupboard space, so once you've unpacked you can sit back, unwind and enjoy your home away from home. The cottage is warm and inviting with every modern amenity you could think of or need. The location is also perfect; just a few minutes walk to restaurants & shops and just a few minutes walk to the beach. You can literally park your car and not have to use it again because everything is so handy and within walking distance. Whether it be enjoying the sunshine on the back deck or gazing at the moon whilst sitting in the flower filled front garden, Alva's Cottage does not disappoint. We seriously could not have asked for more & very much hope to visit again - only for longer next time. Magnificent - Well done Terry & Jenny - thank you for having us.
