Walking into Gardenvale cottages the first thing I noticed was how clean and immaculate everything was. It was an absolutely beautiful place to stay. Everything was so comfortable from the beds and couches to the beautiful linen and towels. Attention to detail was amazing with everything we could possibly need and lots of little surprise comforts like beautiful soaps. Sitting in the kitchen looking out the back at the gum trees we could easily pretend we were in the country and we enjoyed sitting on the huge bench on the front porch looking at the native plants in the front garden. The house had plenty of space, big rooms with high ceilings. A separate room off the lounge provided plenty of space for the kids to play. Fantastic location amazing coffee just on the corner! Katie was so wonderful to deal with. Had a couple of questions throughout the stay and she responded immediately and was so helpful! We stayed in the coldest week of the year and was such a cozy cottage! Loved everything about our stay here!
