Description from owner

Description

Our fully self contained non smoking cottage is situated next to our house on on our one acre property at Pyramid Estate Gordonvale, just 30 minutes from Cairns. The cottage is very comfortable and has all cooking facilities/equipment and all linen and even free WIFI. In fact everything that you will need to have a relaxed and enjoyable stay. Each day I supply guests with a breakfast hamper, which includes fresh eggs from our chickens, homemade bread, local jams, juice from our oranges/mandarins, cereals and yogurts. We have a washing machine, BBQ and outdoor swimming pool for guests exclusive use and these facilities are all included in the tariff. We have a fruit orchard with local and exotic trees and from May to October we plant an extensive vegetable garden. I really enjoy showing guests our little piece of paradise and as I am a born and bred local, I am happy to give advise on the best drives and local tourist attractions. Our property is only 5 minutes drive to our local town of Gordonvale, which has a supermarket, specialty shops and pubs for great bistro meals. The bus stop is only 5 minutes walk from our property.

Interaction with guest

I always meet and greet my guests and show them around the cottage and property. If guests are requiring information about the area, I am happy to oblige. Some guests like their own space and private time and that is absolutely fine. I usually pop the breakfast in the cottage the afternoon before, so as not to disturb the guests in the morning.
