We feel enormously grateful to have had the opportunity to stay at this special cob cottage on Mayne Island. We can't imagine a more remarkable place to help us celebrate a very special family weekend or that we could have enjoyed the attention and care of more gracious, thoughtful and caring hosts.
Alexis and Manny are exceptionally generous, warm and friendly people. Apart from being incredibly flexible they are also deeply knowledgeable about the island community and gave us great advice about new and well-loved places to explore on Mayne Island.
Along with much-valued advice and general good conversation, Alexis supplied delicious fresh food from their farm. Her genuine interest in us and the respect and care she exhibits to other guests showed how deeply she values the people who stay with her.
I've admired and studied cob buildings for decades and I’ve been looking forward to seeing this cob cottage up close for years. It is a masterpiece of design and construction and the care and attention to detail in the cottage is beautifully augmented by the thoughtful touches Alexis has added in the decor. The combination creates a truly unique, hand-crafted living space that embraces all who enter it and opened our eyes to the healing effects of right-sized living.
Thank you Alexis and Manny! We are eagerly looking forward to our next opportunity to visit!
