    The house was wonderful. Beautifully furnished and super comfortable. Our hosts Leann and Dale couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. The grounds were beautifully landscaped, and the location was perfect. It was so nice to return each...

    A beautiful country setting only 15 minutes from central Richmond. A great spot for a relaxing break. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful.

    Loved the quiet location, plenty of parking for our large trailer, such a warm cosy cottage. Beds were so comfortable. Leanne & Dale have thought of everything to make this such a great wee home away from home. We hope to be back someday.

All my guests say that they didn't realise how fantastic the cottage retreat was! A large fully equiped kitchen with breakfast area, large lounge with TV and dining area with french doors, onto an outside seating area. Beautifully furnished and decorated with original art. High speed internet with TV in the Master bedroom that has french doors onto a private outdoor area with a Spa and Fireplace. An entrance balcony with BBQ that looks onto a large garden with a greenhouse that has seating and a water feature to relax and read or play music. Air conditioning heating and cooling with additional ceiling fans. Tiled bathroom with bath, shower and toilet. Master has on suite and two large wardrobes one with a safe. A separate laundry with granite bench sink and washer and dryer. An outside line by the pond. Large grounds to walk in and relax. We have 2 beautiful dogs and 3 amazing cats.

Safe, private, small local neighborhood. Bordered by two reserves and rivers, one with a swimming hole. Vineyards, cafes, hairdresser, small local pub, great little 4 Square supermarket that is well stocked. Close to other shopping & entertaining areas. Cycle ways, hiking trails. Not far from central city for additional dining and events. Beautiful beaches. Snow Skiing area in the later winter months. The best weather the country has to offer for most of the year. What more could you ask for!!!
