The Ranger's Cottage is heaven on earth.
It's hard to describe how magical our time was at Felicity's (Flick's) cottage. First off she is the nicest, most genuine person I have ever met. We both are moms of two young kids (we live in San Francisco) and both have a vacation rental cottage on our property, so we really connected.
After traveling around Australia for a week my husband returned to work and I stayed on with my two kids (7 and 9 years old) renting the Rangers Cottage for 2.5 weeks. Best decision I ever made.
First, Flick is very helpful with local recommendations, very personable and voted by my two kids the best baker in Australia (she made them brownies and banana bread)! Since we stayed for over two weeks she even did a beautiful clean up and laundry of all sheets and towels after the first week. So thoughtful.
The cottage itself is very charming with all modern essentials. Beautiful tile and glass shower. New hardwood floors. Stylish furnishings. Since it has just been renovated its fresh, super clean and never feels like you are staying in someone's private space. The kitchen accessories are plentiful and washing machine works great for clothes.
The bed set up was perfect too as my son and I slept in twin beds and my 7 year old girl felt like a queen in the sofa turned queen size bed. The kids also loved the kid toys movies. TV and wifi works great.
The best part is the location is to die for. We didn't rent a car which I highly recommend. We walked down the beautiful sidewalk path along the waters edge each day stopping at the local coffee shop 40 Beans, sea pools for the kids to swim each day, exploring...It's a beautiful 40 min or so walk from the cottage into manly where we took a ferry into city. You an also walk to manly beach, Shelly beach (The Boathouse cafe for Sunday brunch is a must), The Spit, 40 Baskets Beach...the cottage is very private and in the ideal spot imaginable.
Basically, I could not recommend Flick's Rangers Cottage any more highly. We left with memories I will cherish my lifetime.
Thank you Flick! We will be back...
