We were so pleased to be in Country Cottage. It’s got the feel and character we like, so lacking in most short term accommodation. It’s quiet for sleeping in and has lovely places to sit to eat or relax in the garden and the house, whilst being close to the buzz of Brunswick, good food and great shopping. A perfect blend of the best of both worlds.
This was our second stay at Minnie Street and again was perfect with our daughter 15 minute walk away. We loved watching the birds drink from the bird bath this time and again also loved our quiet it it. Perfect for a 2 person stay!
This was a perfect stay for the two of us and we loved the quietness and outdoor areas. Lots of sunlight! Check in was easy and good to have a spare set of keys in the lock box. Walking distance to Lygon Street for coffee every morning. We are looking forward to another stay at Christmas to see our daugher who lives very close by.
