“Outstanding”
+Little Violet is a beautifully decorated little cottage within a garden setting. Very comfortably furnished with everything you need thoughtfully supplied. We were greeted with a warm welcome from our friendly host, Charmaine. She provided an unexpected and delicious charcuterie board, home made treats including frittata, carrot cake, brownies, cookies. All very yummy!! And an extensive and well thought out organic breakfast provisions platter as well as a well-stocked fridge to go with it! The weather turned a little chilly and miserable on our arrival and Charmaine had turned on the aircon so the cottage was warm and cosy with soft music playing on a vintage record player. Just delightful. Little Violet is exceptional. It's the type of place you reminisce about years later.
−There is absolutely nothing not to like about Little Violet. It's exceptional....we had a wonderful stay.

“A groovy magical birthday stay at Little Violet!”
+A magical birthday stay at Little Violet Little Violet was the perfect forest escape for my birthday weekend. Charmaine is such a beautiful hostess,so warm, welcoming and thoughtful,and she made me feel genuinely comfortable and special from the moment I arrived. There was an endless supply of delicious home-baked goods and a beautiful platter with fresh organic produce, plus the sweetest birthday cake surprise. The fully stocked kitchen was also fantastic, with everything you need to whip up your own meals. Staying surrounded by the forest was wonderfully peaceful, far away from the noise and hustle of the city. The colourful, funky décor made the space feel so fun, vibrant and unique. I loved the record player and great music, which added to the cosy atmosphere. The large bed was incredibly comfortable, especially with the electric blankets to keep warm, and the bathroom was spotless and stocked with absolutely everything you could need. It was such a fun, cosy place to explore and stay in. I will definitely be coming back,highly recommend Little Violet!

+This was such a lovely place to stay. We visited in winter, and it was quite cold outside, but the cottage was always warm and cozy. The location is excellent, with beautiful nature and places to eat within walking distance. The host was lovely as well and made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay at Little Violet again!

+We loved absolutely everything about this property and would not hesitate to return. We were greeted by the delightful owner who showed us through her property. From the turntable quietly playing in the background to the magnificent platter of antipasto provided on entry, it was love at first sight. The decor, and presentation were amazing and the attention to detail flawless. The provisions provided were simply perfect and generous. Perfect for a couple and very spacious. Clean, comfortable and an extremely relaxing experience. Absolute value for money. Everywhere you looked there were little surprises to make our stay perfect.

+Simply perfect (10/10) Our stay at Little Violet was nothing short of beautiful. We stayed for 5 days, and from the moment we arrived, Charmaine was fantastic: warm, welcoming, and incredibly thoughtful. She greeted us personally and had prepared so much for our stay, including wine, a homemade frittata, organic fresh produce, bread, cheese, tomatoes, and even baked cakes and delicious Lindt brownies. Opening the fridge to find it so generously stocked meant we could relax immediately without worrying about shopping. It was such a kind and memorable gesture. The cottage itself strikes that rare balance of being simple yet sophisticated. It is wonderfully cosy, calming, and thoughtfully designed, with an eclectic charm reminiscent of an English countryside cottage. Every detail felt considered, from the quality of the amenities to the comfortable bed and couch, to the vinyl record player that added an intimate, nostalgic touch. Everything was spotless, fresh, and beautifully arranged. The complimentary port and crackers were another lovely surprise. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped, and the space overall felt private, peaceful, and indulgent in the most understated way. I
