We stayed at Rowanberry for a month over the summer and it was fantastic! We're already planning our next stay.
I'm very particular about the type of accommodation I book - it has to have a lot of character - and Donna's house certainly fit the bill. Think quaint farmhouse with funky artwork and furnishings.
The location is perfectly central to explore the best side of the peninsular, and such a short walk to Merricks General Store - where we went everyday for coffee and to buy our fresh baguette - and the Merricks-Red Hill trail where we walked the dog everyday.
The house was the perfect size for our family - 2 adults and 2 young kids - and the garden was fully secure for our dog. There is a full kitchen, with every utensil or pots and pans you could possibly need.
The highlight is the rear deck - there's a hammock, a big outdoor table and some deck chairs.
The property is situated on the main road, and the driveway is easy to miss. From the main bedroom at the front, and when you're outside on the deck, you do hear quite a bit of traffic noise, but it didn't take long for us to get used to it, and the benefits of the house far outweighed the issue of traffic noise.
I highly recommend Rowanberry house.
