We didn't know exactly what to expect but we were quietly confident it would be a lovely place on recommendation of friends we were staying with who did this last year. Well the Princess was in heaven for someone who loves her 4-5 star digs I must say I was surprised but not so much really I had an inkling she would love it.
The Princess immediately fell in love with Chis's Cottage she does get quite excited I must say. But I have to agree we had a magnificent time here the cottage is the sister or brother to Bobs Cottage situated not too far away although we were never sure where Bobs was as you can't see it. Both cottages were as I understand the original workers cottages for men working the extensive land around.
There are something like 20,000 sheep on this property and you do see a few of them from time to time. Chris cottage overlooks the Delatite River immediately below, the view from the Cottage is just simply beautiful. It's rustic so don't expect all the comforts you would expect with upmarket 4-5 star places.
But that's why it's so charming it has a magnificent fireplace in the kitchen which we all spent a great two nights in cooking great winter comfort food. Guests like to leave a bottle of wine duly signed and placed on the mantelpiece above the fire.

It's just such a lovely place to stay and a great place to explore the wineries and the magnificent scenery in the King Valley. The Princess couldn't stop talking about it after we left needless to say the booking has been made for same time next year. If she loved it that's a pretty good recommendation and as usual I agree but I do have good taste too and so do our lovely friends.More
