We had a lovely two night stay in the Cleversley Cottage. The location, and view were certainly the highlight! Walking into Flinders Main Street for coffee, and provisions was very handy; the General Store is very well stocked.We enjoyed walking across the golf course, and down to the Mushroom Reef Marine Sanctuary.Bec was very responsive during the booking process, and easy to deal with.The cottage itself was tidy, but could have been cleaner. There were used tissues under the main bed, and lots of dead bugs around window sills. We found the bedding to be very firm and uncomfortable, so if you’re used to plush bedding please be warned.Having said that, we would stay again and recommend the property.
