We had a beautifully restful and rejuvenating twelve days at Susie and Alan's place. This really is a charming cottage by the seaside! The cottage is private from the main house but looks out onto their extensive gardens, which include chickens and bee hives! We received fresh eggs and tangelos from their garden, along with a few essentials, on arrival. Alan and Susie were very attentive to our needs and the cottage is plenty big enough for two, even on rainy days! It is a short (ten minute) walk from Mt Martha village, where there are cafés galore. Another short walk leads to a boardwalk through a wooded reserve next to an estuary and, of course, the beach, with those iconic Mt Martha beach huts, is right across the street! We hope to return to this cottage when we come back to visit our rellies (Aussie for relatives) again. We highly recommend this place for its charm and amenities!
