June
2000 saw the opening of our third and final cottage, Elouera. This came as quite a change
from the first two as we built in a position
that allowed us to connect to 240 volt electricity. Elouera looks similar to Kalimna and
Pindari but has three bedrooms (two with queen sized beds and the third with two singles).
It features open living, log
fire, full electric kitchen ..ceramic topped stove, with oven, grill and four top
plates plus a microwave. On hand
is pepper and salt, tea bags and leaf tea and sugar. There
is a reverse cycle air-conditioner for the comfort of guests and whilst this may appear to be a swing
away from our ideals it is important to us that our guests are comfortable. An excellent
sound system is in the cottage and linen and
towels are included in the tariff. However for each couple who opts to
bring their own towels you will be rewarded with a pack of Ros' five blank
nature greeting cards. Do mention this if it is of interest as you make
your booking. The veranda offers a magnificent view to the
north. Early April 2001 saw the addition of an outdoors/under cover
shower house and "loo with a view"! It complements the conventional
bathroom located inside the cottage.
Of course there is a gas BBQ and the usual Yeranda outdoors open
fireplace for camp oven cooking. An emergency 12 volt back up lighting system for the
kitchen, veranda and bathroom are in place to make for smooth running when there is a
power failure.
Elouera has been built with our wheelchair friends in mind and is fully accessible. Once again a hob less shower and all necessary grab rails, ramps to the veranda and the chance for those with mobility limitations to enjoy the view from a great spot. As the shrubbery increased close by the smaller birds have arrived in closer to the cottage. Many of the small species are regularly seen in near by vegetation.
Elouera is an adults /young adults cottage only ( the immediate area not being suitable for small children) There is an emphasis on those wanting a peaceful short break away or the eco type stay you will long remember.
For a special weekend away, consider teeing up with friends and coming to Elouera. All you need bring is your food and favourite CDs and perhaps those towels to earn you a pack of Ros' gift cards!!!! and we look forward to welcoming you in the near future.
