| Tucked
away amongst the 100 year old cyprus pines on a small acreage,
sits this quaint two bedroom hideaway with history dating back
well over 100 years. Once known as OB Flat Post Office in
times past, a run down and neglected building previously resided
in by a local family. This building has been lovingly put back
together by current owners and willingly shared with any one
happy to simply sit and ponder or get out and about the
limestone coast
The cosy, yet quite spacious
cottage appealing to the family where the kids can enjoy their
own room with 2 single beds, toys, books, movies and even the
xbox and playstation (if appropriate). Outside there are bikes
to ride, trampoline and plenty of space to kick the footy or win
the ashes with a bash of cricket. For the adults you're not
forgotten, with Queen size bed (quality linen and superb
mattress), TV and locally made rustic furniture.
Outside we've created the perfect
gathering spot for a quiet glass of red next to the open fire,
and for those warmer days the overhanging pines provide fabulous
shelter. The unique rural surrounds gives plenty of privacy and
seclusion for those hard earned getaway's or stopover. Once the
hunger pains kick in, the BBQ can be flicked into gear or if
that's not quite what you're after. How about a 2 minute stroll
to a local restaurant (The Barn Steakhouse) for a delicious
meal?
Walija Cottage is available for
short or long term accommodation. The living area is compact
with slow combustion fire, reverse cycle air conditioner, TV,
DVD and stereo and comfortable couches. Bathroom is shared with
the laundry and leads right outside, through French doors,
extending the entertainment area to alfresco living. The kitchen
is equipped with all you need to cook up a storm and provisions
supplied for continental breakfast.
A short distance away is the
renowned crayfish town of Port MacDonnell, or the Glenelg River
at Nelson with National parks and drive and stop spots. In the
other direction are the local wineries and the infamous terra
rossa soils of the Coonawarra region.. |
