Sinking back into the claw foot bath, I took a deep inhale of the fresh country breeze that billowed in through french windows. Sunlight danced among the water ripples and the fresh daffodils on my bath caddy as I sipped ginger tea, quietly absorbing the warmth and the morning's bird song.

Arriving at Acre of Roses, a micro flower farm just walking distance from town, I'd felt the embrace of this luxury stay wrap around me like a warm hug that welcomes you to reset and reconnect - with yourself, the one you love and the nature around you; every corner of the restored Miner's Cottage mindfully curated for rejuvenating oneself...

In the beautiful cottage kitchen my love channeled his inner barista on the professional machine to serve us coffee in the alfresco room, alongside freshly made bread, farm laid eggs and herbs we foraged straight from the garden. I booked a Spinal Flow session with the stay's in-house holistic health professional Simone, breathed out the week before me and then leaned into a weekend of wellness.

Before a venture into the gorgeous little town of Trentham, [just voted the states top tourist town may I add!], we pumped up the heat on the cedar hot tub, knowing it would be the perfect temp on our return.

Our meander down Trentham main street invited us to explore beautiful local providores, a chocolate shop and rustic bakery, and the quiet road off to the side where we found incredible homemade icecream. The not-to-be-missed Trentham Falls was just a short drive out of this quaint town where we stood in awe of the mighty cascading waterfalls; a breathtaking juxtaposition to the gentleness of our stay.

Returning to the Miner's Cottage we got the wood fires going, and the outdoor fire pit to roast potatoes over hot coals. As the sun lowered in the sky that incredible cedar tub called our names. Between this, the bathroom's blissful steam shower and the garden cinema room - we were set! Acre of Roses + relaxation aplenty!
