One word: wow.

From booking this place to checking out, our experience was flawless.

My husband and I decided to have a romantic night away in Healesville, and we came across this little gem.

The cottage is approximately 3km out from town centre, which made it perfect to get away from the hustle and bustle, yet still being close enough to restaurants and supermarkets.

Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with some Easter eggs and hot cross buns that Shirley kindly left us! It was like we had our own little Easter bunny that had visited is! Shirley also provided us with breakfast items such as a loaf of bread and butter, juices, eggs, bacon and fresh tomatoes from her superb veggie garden. We actually felt guilty not eating it, as we packed our own breakfast not knowing what was awaiting us!

There was also a beautiful little picnic basket for those wanting to venture out into the stunning surroundings and pack a lovely lunch or dinner.

But that's not all - Shirley also provided all of the creature comforts, such as organic body products including body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand wash, and even a shower cap (which came in handy for me as I forgot mine!).

As for the little quaint cottage, it has everything you need: a very large chaise lounge, a cosy fireplace, the comfiest bed I've ever rested my head on, a full kitchen, and a bath/shower.

My husband and I were planning to stay in and watch movies all night, but with the fire roaring and all rugged up on the couch, we were asleep by 10pm! We were so relaxed that we slept for 10 hours straight!

In the morning, I took advantage of the beautiful surroundings and went for a run. There were lots of farm animals and even a track to run on.

Check out time was 12pm, so there was no need for us to rush. It gave us plenty of time to have breakfast, relax and pack.

All in all, this is the best AirBnB accommodation that we have stayed in to date. A very big thank you to Shirley for being such an amazing host.

We will be back.
