I had the pleasure of staying at the Goosewing Cottage with my husband and another couple. When we arrived, we saw a charming little cottage in a picturesque location.
We opened the door to music playing, a bottle of wine and a chalkboard sign with our names on it welcoming us to the cottage. Very cute touch and a wonderful start to our stay.
The cottage was clean and tidy. Inside the middle of the cottage has a kitchen, dining area and lounge room. On either side were the bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.
The bedrooms where a great size, king beds and simply furnished. Linen and towels are provided. The beds were comfortable and warm. I had a great night’s rest on both nights. There is air con in both bedrooms. There is also a fire place in the main area, but due to it being a lovely temperate we didn’t use.
With the accommodation you receive a breakfast hamper, which consisted of bacon, eggs, bread, muesli, milk, and orange juice. The bread must have been baked that day, as it was so soft and tasted amazing. There was also a few different spreads, a pod coffee machine with coffee pods too. Everything we needed for a lovely breakfast. We cooked our breakfast on the outside BBQ. Kitchen had a few essentials available like, paper towel, oil, salt and pepper.
My only problem with the kitchen was the size of the fridge. Having a bar fridge was way too small for two couples to use. We found it difficult to fit drinks and food we had. I really think, a full-size fridge is needed in this cottage. Also, a big platter for entertaining would have been great also.
There is no Wi-Fi at the cottage and no mobile reception, but it gave us a chance to clock off and just enjoy the moment. There is however a phone in the cottage for you to use, should you need to call someone.
The cottage sits on a beautiful property. A short walk and you’re at the gazebo by a sweet dam.. We sat there with drinks and just relaxed. A walk down the road and you can see goats and cows. This whole area is just breathtaking.
The cottage is well equipped with, CD’s, DVD’s and boardgames. The other guests and I played a game of Taboo, which resulted in lots of laughs. You’re about a 20 min drive to Roche Estate and many amazing restaurants. Goldfish restaurant was a hit this trip for us.
Overall, we had such a lovely stay at Goosewing Cottage and left feeling super relaxed.
