Summary: We had a fabulous stay and Fiona went above and beyind in making us feel welcome. So many people make their homes feel like a money making venture, however Fiona was kind and generous in providing us with so many extras - bread, butter, eggs, icy poles, cereal, activities for the kids, posies of flowers.... the list goes on. It was evident that her heart is in making her visitor's feel welcome and wanted. We had a such a delightful time. There are so many things for the kids to do including swimming, badminton and playing with Ivy who is gorgeous. My kids wanted to take her home! The house is well equipped and had everything we needed, including tissues (which is a rarity in so many places). Thanks to Fiona for making our stay so memorable.

Summary: We booked this cottage as a guest house while one of friends was hosting a wedding at Heaven's Gardens. The property was just down the road and is set in a gorgeous bush setting with everything you could possibly need! The attention to detail and cleanliness of the cottage made it a perfect stay, and everyone commented on how cute the cottage was and the facilities (e.g. BBQ, firepit, board games, wifi, air conditioning and their friendly dog Ivy) were more than they were expecting! Fiona was so welcoming and friendly, and we felt like we could ask her anything. We will definitely be back :)
