What a magic few days we had at the Alpine Studio. Surrounded by trees and a delightful little garden we were visited by King Parrots, laughing Kookaburras, baby Magpies and Superb Fairy Wrens. We had a picnic in the nearby Redwood Forest on a warm day and the temperature was perfect. A lot of love and thought has been put into this little cottage - the bed is very comfortable and kitchen basics are all there (handy to have stove top and microwave). So lovely to stay in a charming but grounded place that reflects the vision of the hosts. The privacy and peacefulness was enhanced by the quietness of Christmas and the fact that not many people were around. We didn't get to meet Alex as he was away but his communications were friendly and efficient. His delightful neighbour Nic welcomed us and settled us in.
