Melkboomsdrift Guest Lodge, Vredendal, Western Cape, South Africa
Melkboomsdrift Guest Lodge
We received a warm welcome on arrival at Melkboomsdrift Guest Lodge and were pleasantly surprised when booking into this charming guesthouse located on the banks of the Olifant’s River, surrounded by vineyards with beautiful views of the countryside.
The homestead and outbuildings, which date back to 1820, have been painstakingly restored to provide very comfortable and charming accommodation. Reception is located in the original homestead while most of the accommodation is provided in the restored outbuildings with the names of each suite indicating their use in times gone by – they were once stables, milling rooms, a cowshed, milking room, wine cellar, harness room and as the local school. We stayed in “Die Skooltjie” (little schoolhouse).
Quest Apartments Waterfront, Hobart, Tasmania
Room 33
Quest Apartments Waterfront has an excellent location at Sullivan’s Cove – Hobart’s waterfront area. There are great restaurants nearby and the MONA ferry is moments away.
After a friendly check in at Reception, we took the lift to our apartment – Room 33. While not huge, there was plenty of space, it was very comfortable and had good facilities. The apartment was one room combining bedroom/living room/kitchenette plus separate bathroom. Facilities included microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge, air-conditioning, television, table and two chairs.
Cradle Mountain Lodge, Tasmania
During a trip to Tasmania in Winter, we drove from Launceston airport to Cradle Mountain (about a 2.5 hour drive) and booked into beautiful Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge where it had been snowing. We chose to stay in one of the Pencil Pine Cabins and loved it – very comfortable and warm.
After a friendly check-in at Reception in the main lodge building, we drove a very short distance across to our cabin and were able to park close by which was handy for transferring the luggage.
