My partner and I were looking for a quick, relaxing weekend away before the busy Christmas period and our stay at Sharyn’s beautiful Mt Eliza home did not disappoint. With a gorgeous swimming pool set amongst towering palm trees we almost felt as though we had been whisked away to Cairns for the weekend! In the evening once the heat of the day had waned we were so pleased to be able to relax in the perfectly heated outdoor spa - enjoying a gin as the sun set.
The property is set amongst beautiful gun trees and established screening hedges provided privacy from neighbouring houses transforming the backyard into a secluded parkland. Towels and linen were excellent quality and the large shower had great water pressure. While there isn’t a formal kitchen in the suite we were provided with an air fryer (oven) and microwave inside (more than enough to prepare croissants for breaky) and the large entertaining area outside has a fantastic bbq with gas hot plate to suit most cooking needs.
We had planned on perhaps going to a winery for tastings or a lunch in town on our trip to the Peninsula but had such a relaxing time at Sharyn’s property that we ended up spending the whole trip laying by the pool, drinking wine and eating!
Last but absolutely not least - the property has two resident goats in the small field down past the pool. They were so friendly and tame; a real highlight of our time there.
