Jen and Mark were impressive from before we arrived even, sending emails with offers of recommendations and also asking if we had any special requests. Unsurprisingly, upon arrival, they were equally warm, friendly and helpful. Their house was amazing clean, neat and welcoming. Jen even thoughtfully laid out some chocolate Tim tams for us to have after our dinner, which we had at a restaurant that Jen had recommended and booked for us. The room we were assigned was warm and comfy. Both the room and the hall/kitchen were well stocked with all sorts of kitchen supplies, both food and non-food. Overall there was a very nice feeling of homeliness there. Breakfast in the morning consisted of some awesome warm pastries, plus 3 kinds of bread/toast, and a plethora of cereal. Coffee came from a nespresso machine. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Malting Lagoon.
