Our 2 night stay at Big Patsa’s Place was fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed our little escape from the madness of home. From the moment you walk in it is very clear that Emma has really gone above and beyond with setting up this wonderful little haven.
My partner is a chef, so we generally prefer to self-cater when we travel. We found the kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything needed, and there is a huge benchtop for preparing meals, and a large fridge/freezer to keep food and drinks fresh.
It was rather cool during our stay, especially in the late afternoons once the sun set, but the little electric fireplaces kept the whole downstairs area nice and toasty for us. After finishing dinner both nights, and with only 3 of us, we found the additional living area/parents retreat downstairs was the most cosy and comfortable place to relax and chat and watch the huge Smart TV with access to Netflix/Prime/Foxtel/YouTube etc, or all the free-to-air TV channels. There were the occasional issues with receiving clear reception on some channels from time to time though which didn’t bother us too much.
Sitting outside in the afternoon with the little fire flu flaming away on the front deck and listening to all the birds and other wildlife while sipping on a glass of wine was amazingly blissful.
The wi-fi seemed to work quite well during our stay with 3-4 devices connected all at once.
All of the beds were made up with fresh linen prior to our arrival, and there were plenty of lovely soft fluffy towels and hand/body soaps supplied.
The lawns around the house were all immaculately mowed and our little dog absolutely loved running around and exploring while being safely contained with fences all around.
We loved Big Patsa’s Place so much that we really hope to stay again with a few more friends as there’s plenty of room for a larger group up to 11 people. However, apart from the ensuite bathroom for the master bedroom, there is only one other bathroom in the house (downstairs with shower/bath and toilet) which could be a little challenging for the remaining 9 guests if you had a full house. There is a 3rd toilet in the laundry off the kitchen which would help though.
A huge thanks to Emma for the excellent communication with speedy replies to all of our queries and for providing us with such a beautiful place to stay!
