This is the life

The family visits this

getaway at least once a

month, but during school

holidays they can happily

stay for weeks. “We steal

away as o en as we can,”

says owner Melissa. “We

can pick up the kids a er

school and be here before

dinner.” The children have

plenty of places to play

• close enough for their
  parents to keep an eye on
  them but not too close
  when family members
  need a bit of ‘me’ time.
