Comfortable, clean, cosy, peaceful and self-contained one room studio/cabin. Facilities for light cooking in the room. Riddells Creek is a quiet small town in lovely surrounding countryside and views of the Macedon Ranges. Close to well-known tourist areas. This comfortable, self-contained one room cabin is set apart in a peaceful spot, a few meters from my cottage. It contains a double bed with comfortable latex mattress. Slippers provided. (Outside shoes left on the doorstep.) In the room is a TV, dvd player, wifi, fridge, double-ring portable electric cooktop for light cooking only, kettle, mini-oven, micro-wave, all you need for preparing/cooking breakfast and other light cooking , split-system air-conditioning/heating, hangers and hanging space, small table and 2 chairs. You will find the ingredients for a continental breakfast in your fridge - eggs, milk, butter, jam, honey, fruit, bread, tea, coffee etc. All organic where possible. If you would like to try an Ayurvedic porridge for breakfast, (wonderful on a cold winter's morning!) I can prepare that for you on request, for a small extra charge. There is a small ensuite shower and toilet. Guests are free to sit in the garden in warm weather. Some like to sit out to take their breakfast in the garden in front of the guest cabin. The most convenient access to my property is through my carport, so guests are given a remote for the roller door to get in and out that way. Guests are welcome to park in my carport. I work from my clinic at home. When not with a patient, or out teaching in Riddells Creek, I love to stay home in my cottage with my old dog, or spend time in my garden tending to vegetables, flower beds and pot plants. I am available and more than happy to help you with any enquiries you have about getting around this lovely area of the Macedon Ranges, and if you are on your travels around Australia, I'd be able to direct with that too! Riddells Creek is a small peaceful country town at the foothills of the Macedon Ranges, surrounded by lovely rural pastures and bushland. I take my dog on some beautiful country walks in the area. Kangaroos are frequent visitors, even to my street, and my garden is visited by many beautiful colourful birds especially rosellas, lorikeets, fairy wrens and honeyeaters, as well as the typical Aussie battler, the magpie! In the town we have one small supermarket , an excellent deli, a couple of good cafes, a very good Indian restaurant, a Thai restaurant and a pizza and pasta place. There is a small medical centre, pharmacy, hairdresser, post office, lovely neighbourhood house, a pub and the best op shop for miles around!
