We were finally on our way. After about our fourth reschedule due to Covid we were ecstatic to hit the road on our mid-week escape. It had been a long winter and the weather was turning it on.

When we drove down the gravel road and came upon the gate to the cottage in the distance, we knew we were in for a treat.

The Station Master's is a one-hundred-year-old cottage moved from Red Hill down Mornington way.
Renovated, restyled and reimagined, The Station Master’s is a delight. Every little detail has been carefully considered and meticulously executed. From fresh bread, eggs, herbs and wine on our arrival. To freshly cut flowers throughout the home and bath salts for soaking in the upcycled claw foot bath. Our hosts Jen and Mark have thought of everything. Wonderfully styled and sublimely decorated, a true home away from home that oozes luxury country living.

We lucked out with the weather and made the most of the warm days. Though still cool enough at night to sit by the fire and roast some marshmallows. The little man loved the cubby house and his first game of foosball. And when he was tucked away for the night it was time for a soak in the beautiful claw foot bath accompanied with a glass of wine.

Apples and carrots were provided to feed the two highland cows which were great fun for our boy. As the sun was shining we headed to the beach by day. At night we ate our dinner outside basking in the warm evenings. The choice to cook up a yummy breakfast was easy with the fresh bread and eggs supplied. Only minutes from the beach and town, the cottage is nicely situated with a mixture of country and beachy vibes. A superb way to spend a few days, no matter the season, the Station Master's truly was worth the wait.
