Oakland accommodation from AU$156

I’ll start this review by saying I’m already looking forward to booking my next stay at Katherine’s cottage. While the listing photos are beautiful, the attention to detail I found while staying was even more than I expected. This home is beautiful and spotless. The beds are so comfortable. The open first floor is both super cozy and beautifully arranged. The home’s decor is curated and completely uncluttered. It’s so nice to have space to store my luggage since I am a chronic over packer! I love not having to live out of my suitcase. I felt so at home the entire time. And that’s just the inside. The spacious deck has privacy from the neighboring property while offering an unobstructed view of the water. It was still too cold to enjoy dining outdoors, but we did utilize the Weber gas grill and also walked down to the water with our coffees and sat in the rocking chairs to enjoy the stream that feeds into Great Pond. We’ve already booked our next stay, looking forward to taking the kayaks out this summer!!!

Kathleen is an incredibly thoughtful and gracious host. From coffee and oatmeal on the kitchen counter to a tea pot filled with water upon our late night arrival, Kathleen had thoughtful touches throughout. The kitchen was well equipped, towels were plentiful, and we even had a fun visit with the animals.

The cottage was beautiful. Everything inside was new or in new condition. The host was also excellent. During our stay we conversed like we were old friends. Cottage was surprisingly well stocked. I would literally want to stay there again.
