Expansive harbour views from all rooms of this tranquil Boutique accomodation. L'abri has beautiful gardens to wonder through. 2 accomodation options are available. 2 in house luxury rooms. A full menued breakfast is available here, Or a cosy and romantic garden cottage. you are invited up to the main house to enjoy a full breakfast along with other guests and to enjoy the spectacular views. A lovely place to enjoy the surroundings away from the busyness of Visiting Cruise ships.
My name is Jane and I'm living my dream which is working in hospitality, providing a special experience for everyone who comes to stay. I purchased a bare piece of land in 2004 and since then have created a colourful flower garden, fruit and vegetable gardens and built a house to run as Boutique accommodation. Gardening is a passion and much of the produce is used for guests. There are also hens providing the breakfast eggs. In my spare time I enjoy dabbling in art and walking the bay and hills.
