Milkwood Suite

ClariseRating, 5 stars3 months ago

The cottage was visually beautiful and perfect for a overnight stay for business. Driving a SUV, the driveway is very steep and difficult to get in and out and the parking bay was a bit small to get and out unpacking when parked. I loved the surrounding garden and patio, you can hear some birds chirping, very relaxing. Wish I could spend another day exploring Great Brak River as it looks like a beautiful little town with some interesting local shops. Would visit again. Lara was very friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

Amelia's by the Sea - Admiral's Guest Suite

EricRating, 5 stars7 months ago

This is truly a piece of heaven! We had a wonderful stay at Jeanne's and Tony's place. Everything is arranged with great attention to detail and we were very happy about the little surprises, whether home-baked muffins, a small welcome sign or a drink on the house. Jeanne is such a warm-hearted person and gave us great recommendations, what to do and where to eat - even for places for our next stops. Within the area, you can reach everything within minutes by car. My absolute highlight was viewing the sunset over the terrace. The only downside, we just had time to stay for one night. Otherwise we would have stayed way much longer. This is definitely an Airbnb experience you are looking for!
