Business trip
Our only disappointment was that we were down in Phillip island for business. The house was beautifully styled. Additions like the record player and gorgeous mood lamps that made our arrival home each night so relaxing and homely. We only wish we had more time to relax. We would like to come back for a winter weekend get away . Planning our next trip.
Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025
