😎 #Introduction
Booking and subsequent communication:
This cottage is run by Lotus Lodges. The majority of
communication was with them. Whilst calling was a challenge, my pre-visit questions
were answered promptly when I sent in an email to Lotus Lodges. The same is
true to the text message communication during our visit.
Parking:
There are clear instructions on how to park, to ensure next
door (also run by Lotus Lodges) can comfortably park too. Whilst this was a
small parking spot, we got the hang of it. The street itself was fairly quiet
as it was a no through road.
Entering theProperty:
There is a small porch with a seat, and an auto light
which comes in handy for the night time. There was also a wood bin full of wood
for the fire.
😎The Rooms:
First room – Sitting room: This is where the fire place is. We didn’t need the fireplace
so cannot comment on it’s usability, but there was definitely wood. It was made
clear that the fireplace is not meant to be a heating option (there is a heater
in the other room). It’s just for ambience.
There were two comfortable chairs in front of the
fireplace and some books to read.
Second Room – Bedroom.
This room had a double bed. I believe there was also a fold out bed in the
lounge room sofa but we didn’t use this. There were touch lamps on either side
of the bed. Everything was in good order.
Third room – Kitchen: The kitchen has a full stove and oven which is why we chose this
place. Microwave oven too. The drawers were full of every pot, plate, and utensil
you would need. We noticed the rangehood was not working – and Lotus
Lodges later confirmed this would be attended to after we vacated.
There was one roll of paper towel. We were staying for 7
days so we had to get more.

Forth Room –Lounge:
The lounge room had a tv, and DVDs to watch. Wifi was
available and working.
There was a heater and air conditioner which we used
during our stay.
Fifth Room – Bathroom:
This room had a spa bath and shower as well as a toilet. This was a very tiny
room, not much room to put toiletries, but manageable.
When using the spa, we noticed leaves or debris coming
out of the jets when we turned it on.
There were two rolls of toilet paper. We were staying for
7 days so we needed to get more.
Backyard:
There
was a porch and a seat outside, aswell as being well-lit.
Throughout:
We found quite a few spiders inside and out (quitter normal
for the area). There were two empty cans of bug spray (not sure if this was
left by Lotus Lodges or the last tenant) but we had to buy additional bug spray
(it was a good investment).
