About this cottage rental
Firefly Cottage
The cottage (as a standalone booking) can accommodate up to six people. The cottage entrance leads to the living area and bathroom downstairs, and a staircase leading to the upstairs loft bedroom. The living area is an open plan style with wood heater, dining/living space and kitchen/bar. The kitchen includes portable induction cook-top, fridge, microwave, oven/grill, toaster, sandwich press, and coffee pod machine. The pool table & dart board offer great indoor entertainment.
The sliding doors by the kitchen open to a patio with BBQ, wood heater (Chiminea) and outdoor seating for 8. This area looks to the orchard and lawn areas.
Upstairs, the large loft-style bedroom has queen and double beds, to sleep up to 4 guests. An extra self-inflated queen mattress is available as an option for sleeping a family of 6 together. The upstairs balcony offers valley views to the West, and is a great place to enjoy the sunset over a glass of vino.
Additional…
The living room sofa downstairs opens into a double bed, as another sleeping option. Both the upstairs and downstairs have air conditioning units. Wifi is connected and complimentary: It is usually strong enough to stream movies but can get patchy from time to time.
Provisions
We provide tea, coffee (ground and pods), milk, cereals, eggs, salt & pepper, cooking oil, and some condiments.
Firefly Grounds and Spaces
