It was such a pleasure to see you both so happy to have some time away from the routine of life and to share our little bit of country with you. I hope you can visit again, perhaps in Spring or summer when the flowers are in full bloom. I am working on some additional unique accommodation so you might like to try that next time. Thank you so much for your kind words. I love to hear that what I do is a winner for my guests.

Its always great for me to hear my guests have enjoyed their stay with us. We aim to keep adding something new to surprise our returning guests. By spring we will have our help-your-self garden and orchard available to our guests. Say hello to our chickens while you're there. They love a pat. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit.

It was great to see you both again George. You got to see the beautiful Dandenongs in full Autumn colours this time. I'll have our new Mongolian Yurt finished for your next visit I promise. With the flame heater it will be as warm and cosy as the cottage and more than a little bit different. Til next time, stay warm. Regards Kaye

So pleased you had a great stay. Our fresh eggs come from our friendly chooks and we new little chicks growing fast. We'd love to see you again. With autumn approaching the leaves are turning brillian yellows and reds. We'll have the fire on to keep you warm on days like today.

So pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay. We are working on some other features which I hope to have finished within the next couple of months which I think you will all love. And thank you for taking such good care of our cottage. You are the type of guests we love to have again.

I love it that the only sounds we hear are of the birds singing and we certainly do our best to ensure that. So pleased you loved your stay. We are always improving something in the gardens so we have new surprises for our returning guests. Hope you can make it back again.

I love the smell of freshly baked bread so I try to have it still hot no matter what time my guests arrive. Glad you loved it too. Spring is almost here and the gardens will be be even more inviting to wander if you are this way again. Thank you for your review.

Thanks for your kind words and we are pleased we were able to provide a little serenity for you and your husband. The gardens are about to burst into flower. The 21 roses planted to screen the buildings are in their 3rd year this summer adding to the overall colour in the gardens without blocking views of the gardens or Mt Dandenong with the Magnolia about to open its big beautiful flowers.

Ahh, love that you both made time to re-connect and that you chose Lakeside Cottage. I do think there are fairies in the gardens who sprinkle all who enter with a little magic romance dust.

We aim for great as our standard so thank you for sharing. Every review contributes to our ability to provide our guests with more of what they're looking for.

Thank you for choosing Lakeside Cottage and your review allows us to continue to make our guests feel relaxed and refreshed with memories to last a lifetime.

Thanks for your glowing review. We now stock spare bath towels in the cupboard for those who need extra, so you don't need to contact reception for extras. It is constructive suggestions like this that has allowed us to grow to meet and exceed our guests expectations.
