Ok, thought I would join you in this topic so I spent some time this morning looking for my favourite, but couldn't find it. I relish an original reviewer. I have been called many things in reviews, I think my favourite is ''genius''. Instead of my lost favourite which was from many years ago, here are some excerpts: (my fave of these is from the five year old)
''Serindipity...on steroids.''
''Got that end of the world is nigh feeling. Book in here for as long as you can and you won't wipe the smile off your face.'' (not really sure what this means but I love it)
''This house is like stepping into Wes Anderson's imagination.''
''Open the front door at Queensberry Pip and step into a time warp where your voice can travel mysteriously between rooms and the esteemed late Baron von Mueller will lead you on an action filled tour around Daylesford.'' (I have a speaking tube connecting bathtub with living room)
''Staying in Sandra's home is like having a special, members only pass to an art gallery for the duration of the stay. Every wall, every ceiling is unique and fascinating. Sandra is a creative genius and her home and garden are full of joy and affection for Daylesford and history. '' (Genius! I am overwhelmed!)
''We truly felt like we were staying in a massive artwork.''
'' Love at first sight? An adventure on a couch? Simply, stay.'' (adventure on a couch! Fab.)
From a five yearold: "I like the strawberries and there was one raspberry that I ate and it was delicious. And I ate cornflakes and strawberries for my breakfast. And there is an electric blanket here. I had a good time here in Daylesford. I hope I come here again. Oh- and the bed is very fancy. It has a roof. And there is a red lamp with feathers on it". (LOL! A roof! Red feathers!! Lovelovelove this review.)
''We have found nirvana in an Alice in the wonderland theme house.'' (it isn't themed, but lots of guests make the Alice connection anyway, probably because of Bigger and Smaller notes on my kitchen drawers, who knows? )
And to finish, a review from an exec at Airbnb, which makes it an automatic favourite of flattery to my hosting soul:
''I’ve stayed in 100 Airbnb’s around the world. This is hands down one of my absolute favorites for so many reasons. ''
