Lovely cottage

We loved the cottage and the garden. Everything is very pretty and heartwarming. The location is very convenient, close to shops and beaches. When the weather is very hot, it does tend to warm up in the bedrooms because the air conditioning is in the main area.

Perfect Cottage

We fell in love with the cottage as soon as we walked in. It is simple, beachy and absolutely divine. The back beaches are spectacular and we enjoyed the front beaches, food and shopping at Sorrento/Blairgowrie. Most importantly it was the perfect place to read, relax and recharge. We thank Dom and Val for giving us the opportunity to share their home and hope to return next year.

The perfect place for a relaxing Winter break

As usual, Dom and Val presented their lovely house in a very clean and welcoming condition. It was comfortable, even in Winter, with a cosy wood fire, warm beds and throws for the chills. The neighbourhood is very quiet and offers manageable walks to both the front and back beaches. We will return. Thanks again Val and Dom!

Lovely seaside getaway

We had a wonderful stay in this cosy & beautifully decorated property. Dom was a perfect host & while the house amenities are basic as advertised, we had a comfortable stay with plenty of firewood for the coonara & nice hot showers. Kitchen was well stocked with all the little extras you’d rather not bring (coffee, oil, etc.). We’d highly recommend it.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage was one of the first built in Blairgowrie and still maintains much of its period character. We love the way it is secluded and elevated which enables us to enjoy the cool sea breezes in privacy.
