Such a lovely spot! A very cozy spot in the cottage. Love to hear the birds and awaken to the view lush plants outside--very quiet environment. The cottage is delightful and has everything you need for a short or long stay. The water pressure is strong and very hot! Water is heated via solar. There's a frig, cook top, toaster, and electric kettle. The frig has some basics for breakfast, which is a bonus. Annabel includes a french press and Italian espresso pot. The heater and fan help regulate the temp. The decor is attractive; it's a very comfortable space with ample amount of natural light. Annabel is quickly responsive and friendly. She holds her artist's workshop next door and has some of her work in the cottage, which adds flair and vibe. She's happy to answer any questions about the area and offers a printout of local interest spots, transport, etc. There is adequate privacy between the main house and the cottage.
The area is also convenient to CBD and other neighborhoods. There are bus stops just up the block, and the tram is less than 1 km. The amazing variety of eating spots on Brunswick in Fitzroy are only a 10 min. tram ride south-- tons of restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops. Parks and other outdoor spots are not far, either. I will definitely stay in Annabel’s cottage again, when I visit Melbourne and highly recommend the spot!
