The cottage is an ideal space, with room for two - four people and includes an open plan fully functional kitchen, dining area and lounge; a master bedroom with a Queen sized bed and good wardrobe storage, a smaller bedroom with bunks, and a bathroom including shower and washing machine. The lounge includes a mixture of digital entertainment including DVDs and television as well as a mixture of books and games for various age groups. With heating for winter to warm the cockles and an outdoor BBQ and seating area, Honey Cottage is a light, roomy space for indoor/outdoor all-season living offering comfort, warmth and a relaxing atmosphere. The house is set up to be a home-from-home with facilities that support longer stays as well as shorter stays. Set on a lifestyle block overlooking green spaces that include newly planted trees, establishing and large established trees and paddocks; you can sit and listen to the sound of the birds, watch the Australasian Harrier Hawks flying overhead, enjoy the stillness of the day or on a wonderful squally, stormy day you can hear the sound of the sea and taste the salt in the air. In some areas of the garden we have newly planted trees and plants. At the moment, water tanks are visible from areas of the cottage garden, however, in time these will be blocked out by the plantings. In the meantime, there are other beautiful sights and views to behold from the deck of the cottage. Honey Cottage is a 15 minute walk to our local (and often deserted) beach which is a mixture of sand and stones. Sometimes in winter, seals bask in the shallows lifting a flipper out of the water as if to say hello. The view along the Ruby Bay coastline is world class, with the sun rising above mountain ranges that frame the coastline, snow on the mountains in winter and calm sea waters on a still day. It is a minutes ride on the bike to join up with the Great Taste Trail or 10 minutes more to have Friday tea at the nearby Jester Cafe during the summer months. We live full time on the property and are available to help with any queries you may have. Please feel free to say hello or let us know if you need anything or have any questions. You are likely to see us at some stage working on the property or out for a walk. Our lifestyle block is surrounded by other similar blocks and as such, these are working parcels of lands, with horses sometimes grazing or tractors or mowers mowing. And then there’s the quiet and tranquility. Come and enjoy Tasman and the surrounding area. Come and enjoy Tasman and the surrounding area.
