Awesome spot
Great location and accomodation. Really appreciated the comprehensive amenities, made the stay much easier to prepare for and made for a great stay. Wonderful views. As others have said, while you park at and walk past the residents house, once in the cottage it is very private. We saw the host once, which was a gidday as the walked past in the beautiful gardens below. Highly recommend.

We stayed at Barfoot Cottage for 6 nights - it was so stunning - accommodation, weather, views and location, it was so hard to leave. Margie and Gary are very discreet but very friendly hosts. The immaculate Cottage was so comfortable with every whim catered for and we thank you both for making our holiday so special. We will be back!
