AU Trip 1 – Curringa Farm Stay Chalet

Date:  Dec 11, 2016

It is the first Australia trip for Jay and Kay.

My wife said, “Don’t let the kids grow up knowing the world has only 1 country (i.e. Japan)”.

Thanks to Nicholas Lee who recently got married in Melbourne, we get the chance to bring our kids to Australia.

Australia == Farm Stay.

Australia is a country that has lots of cow and sheep.  So, farm stay must be fun for them.

So, after doing some research, we found a good farm stay, recommended by this Hong Kong chef – Craigs (阿斋).

You have to drive about 3KM before you reach your farm stay chalet.

Those are the chalet sitting on the farm grass land.

We get to see two different units.  One big, one small.

Let’s check out the small one, where because of mis-understanding of the map, we checked into the wrong chalet.

This one is for 2-person stay.  Actually, it is already booked by a couple.  That explains why there are fresh flowers, and champaign in there.

What cause the mis-understanding, well, basically, the keys they gave you can open any chalet.  I hope they really go and change keys for every chalet after we found out this.  haha… So, if your key can open the door, you will not suspect you went into the wrong chalet right?

This is the smaller chalet.  Basically it is a studio apartment.

We didn’t expect farm stay can be so homey.

Kay was so happy about it.

Now, we check the bigger unit.  Suppose to be for 3-5 person stay.  It is a two rooms apartment.
