Olinda Cascade Waterfall Mountain View Retreat

Christina Rating, 5 stars3 months ago

Frank was great to communicate with and very accommodating, even with last-minute changes. Frank's home is wonderful, spacious and very clean. The Balcony is to die for, and I wrote a chapter for my next book on the swinging chair. The only slight disappointment was that the pool is actually a pond. You can dip in it, but it is not for swimming laps it is relatively small and full of fish. A great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life, endlessly quiet, beautiful sunrises from the comfort and warmth of your bed.

A Cottage with a View at Tudor Ridge

LibbyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We were looking for a cosy little cottage for a girls weekend with my bestie. David’s cottage was absolutely everything we were looking for and was even better than the photos. That view!!! Spectacular! We visited in Autumn and had the choice of an open fire (firewood a small extra charge), a gas heater fireplace and ducted heating that was in every room including the bathroom and came up through vents in the floor. We enjoyed two bedrooms with queen beds and an ensuite each. Just perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to make the meals we wanted with an oven and full size fridge. This little cottage exceeded our expectations and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Thanks David, for an unforgettable few days away.
