Guest Testimonials
- Just everything about Fonstown was perfect for us. The size of the lounge room, the furnishings, the art work, the front lounge room for ‘quiet’ book reading time, the outdoor areas – front and back (we spent a lot of time outside) , the garden, the fresh herbs in the garden which I used, the chickens and lovely fresh eggs, the peace and quiet, the beach box, the close proximity to the beach. I could go on and on. What was really special was that there was already a Christmas Tree assembled and decorated, with Christmas stockings on the fireplace. Also there was a lovely note welcoming us to the property, attached to a bottle of Sparkling Wine for us to share. All these touches added to our feeling welcome and all of us felt the warmth and love. Krystine K, January 2012
