3 day stay

Everything was excellent but I had not noted that there was no Wi-Fi or 4G signal at all. But everything else was perfect - very comfortable, clean, and very private.

So quiet a kilometre off the highway. A little cottage set among trees and shrubs up a gravel driveway. Two friendly dogs. German Shepherd and ? Labrador. Both understand “Go Home” and a pointing finger. Even a smart black cat later. No Wi-Fi no Lebara signal. But close to Fairlie. Lovely.

It was peaceful and immediately made me feel relaxed to overlook the hills, the cows in the nearby paddock & the trees and gardens surrounding the cabin; I wish I had spent my whole 5 days in the Fairlie/Geraldine area here. It was clean & modern, well equiped kitchen, really comfortable bed and couch, great shower, good heat pump. While there was no WiFi, sometimes in life that is good; I didn’t find it an issue. Free to air TV is available. Oh, and the visit by the beautiful dog and a very friendly and healthy looking cat that obviously are familiar with the cabin was nice.
