Thanks Tony & Wendy - our stay was beyond our
expectations. The small things and homely touches plus attention to detail
all helped to ensure a wonderful stay - exceptional ambience.
Beautiful views, great cottage and delicious food.
What an opportunity to relax and enjoy each other's
company. A serene setting, complemented by the melodies of the birdlife in
the most perfect setting. A walk to the top of the hill offers inspirational
views of the rolling hills and coastline. Thank you for sharing this piece
of paradise. A very memorable 'surprise'
56th birthday present from my beautiful partner. The cottage was impeccably
presented, well stocked with everything we needed and with its awesome views
provided the perfect setting for us to unwind away from the hustle and
bustle of our busy lives. Thanks for the memories. Thank you for your
warm hospitality. A great place to unwind and enjoy the long weekend. Will
definitely be back. p.s. thanks for the Easter Eggs. A
50th birthday that I will never forget as I wouldn't have dreamt of a better
way and place to celebrate it. Thank you so much for a lovely stay and for
your presents and card on my birthday. Thank
you for creating a warm and wonderful place. This must be on of the
Fleurieu's finest treasures. Wonderful to connect with the place my
great grandparents once owned. The cottage and views are magnificent. What a
beautiful place - loved the peace and tranquility. A memorable way to
celebrate 35 years of marriage. Thanks so much. Thanks
for a lovely experience. The presentation and provisions made for a great
stay. The gardens provide a peaceful place to eat and read.
Our second stay has been as special as our first. A
wonderful sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of life and the perfect
choice for special time together before our firstborn arrives. Thank you so
much. We came here to do nothing but relax and enjoy the coastal
views. What better place to do that? Everything in this magnificent cottage
was perfect. Thanks for having us. See you again soon.
What a wonderful, refreshing sojourn in Brooklands cottage. It was a treat
to be so generously provided for. Magnificent gourmet breakfast every
morning, leisurely strolls around the area and cosy evenings. What more
could anyone want. Thanks Tony, we'll remember this forever.
It was lovely to return to this idyllic, quiet and
restful retreat! Memorable birthday and Valentine's treat - no doubt we will
return again to recharge our batteries - thank you Tony and Wendy.
Had an amazing time, great views together with a fantastic little
house. Thank you very much Tony and Wendy. A wonderful
weekend! The cottage very 'homely' - made me feel like I was back in
England! ... Your taste in wine and food was perfect - especially the Thai
Curry dip! Yum! Yum! Really enjoyed our stay - and we will be back! Thank
you. Very welcome hospitality, thank you. More
than expected. Great hideaway close to the beaches. A truly wonderful
stay thanks! Loved the view, the wildlife and the attention to detail. We
feel extremely relaxed and ready to face the world. A

place. Thank you very much. See you next time.

Thank you for a great stay. We couldn't have asked for
