Relaxing Cottage

Small home away from home. All necessities, close to beach and wineries. Lots of fresh produce available on road sides. Pleasant host that I would definitely consider again.

Great stay

Olive's Place was my home away from home. It was located near to where I grew up and being close to my family and friends was very special for me. I would recommend it to everyone.

A Perfect Gem

What a beautiful little cottage. Christine and Winston have seen to every detail. It looks, at first, to be such a random sprinkling of cottages and yet it is perfect in every way. We can see the lake from the deck with choices of sunshine or umbrella shade. The bed is wonderfully comfy and the softest bathroom towels ever. Best of all there is such peace and tranquillity to enjoy a truly relaxing stay. We have already booked our return visit and simply cannot wait.

Rejuvenating

I was looking for a retreat to the Essex region where I grew up. I came across Christine and Winston’s place and booked it for a month - and I’m so glad I did. The cottage is absolutely perfect, small and spotless with every amenity that you could possibly need for a peaceful and relaxing get-away. And the Colchester area provides a lovely background to the place, with lots to do and see if you choose to tour around a bit (although I often preferred just to sit on the deck listening to the waves and the wind in the poplar trees!) My Hosts were welcoming and responsive and kind. Everything I hoped for. Highly recommended.

A slice of heaven!

Chris and Winston were excellent hosts, with personal touches making us feel very welcome. The cottage was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for our stay. The location was fantastic, quiet, lovely views of the lake. We used the bikes at the cottage to explore the area. Found several nice restaurants (so didn't do a whole lot of cooking, lol) The beach was great, easy to get to, busy, but never too crowded. All in all an excellent stay!
