Ahhh.. bliss! Just what I needed for a couple of nights retreat from everything.
This place is a dreamy sanctuary nestled in what is a beautiful artwork of a home and garden that manages to be immaculate, artfully crafted and yet natural at the same time. Which sums up the character of my stay, restorative and unpretentiously luxurious. I adored it all – from the beautiful rustic gate, to the smell of clipped rosemary as I entered, to the sight of the glowing Buddha greeting me in the garden amongst twisting branches and lush leaves; falling asleep in the bed with the rain on the roof was bliss and waking up the gorgeous light filled bedroom a delight; the crunch of pebbled paths and the feeling soft rugs underfoot, to the divine outside bath and the simple joy of running water – my stay was a sensory delight.
This is really a unique space, a perfect house, just the right size for one or two.
The large decks and sprawling jungle make what is a really small house and garden feel abundance and generous. A winding lamplit path that takes you to the most beautiful secret bath which is just a dream under the stars and moon, nestled in the shelter of the trees and high fences, (even though this is part of the same property as the host it feels completely separate and private and the hosts leave you alone completely). This little house has everything you could need, an ample kitchen and lovely wooden benches, a gas fire and comfy couch (no kitchen table) lovely outside spaces, luxurious fixtures in the bathroom and a lovely bed. It was spotlessly clean, obviously very well cared for and I loved the sounds of nature outside, and was not bothered by the sounds of branches or possums on the roof. It is a natural place. The branch artwork was stunning, and the best perfect teapot and chocolates too.
Everything was vary carefully and tastefully arranged, cared for and considered, you can tell lot of love went into creating this retreat. There is a sense of serenity, peace, a deep respect and generous approach to the guests accommodation here. Thanks!
