Poinciana Cottages

Poinciana Cottages are close to the airport but do not suffer from any airport noise whatsoever. The planes do not fly overhead and from the cottages you cannot hear them take off or land. The cottages are situated down a short gravel driveway from the main street, along which is a level concrete footpath which makes the short walk into town quite pleasant (but use the supplied torch if walking at night, as there are no streetlights!). Each cottage is very private with a calming, restful view from the verandah, over well-maintained green fields to Mount Bates. Our recently painted 'Daisy' cottage was fully equipped to a superior standard, making it truly a home away from home for us. The cottage has a bedroom with a HUGE bed and a wardrobe with good hanging space and drawers; large modern bathroom with a great, roomy shower; separate washing machine and tub; kitchen with full fridge, convection/microwave oven, two-burner cooktop, single-drawer dishwasher; dining area; lounge room with TV, CD player, books, overhead fan and gas heater and a verandah with an outdoor setting. A mobile phone for use during your stay as you cannot use your own phone to call (or receive calls from) Norfolk Island numbers - although we could still use our own mobile phone to receive/ring Australian numbers. There is a clothes horse on the verandah and clothes line under the carport. The adjoining carport was a unique and very handy bonus compared to other Norfolk Island accommodation. There is a separate fully equipped common BBQ area. Even though the cottages are serviced once a week, we were supplied with two complete sets of bath towels so we could change them mid-week. The owners Jackie and Peter are lovely people - very unobtrusive but doing all they can to make sure you have a great time. Staying at Poinciana Cottages was a very memorable experience for all the right reasons - faultless and the most complete holiday accommodation experience that we have ever had.

Lavender Cottage became our delightful home away from home stay for 10 nights on beautiful Norfolk Island. We cannot recommend Poinciana Cottages highly enough - thank you Jackie! Super comfortable, roomy for a couple, stylish, and very well equipped throughout. The picnic set, wine cooler bag, beach towels and snorkel sets were well used and much appreciated - they helped us make the most of what N.I.has to offer. Loved the garden and shared kitchen space, feeding the chickens, the fresh produce from our host, and the view from the deck is just so lovely and relaxing. Super little car came with the accommodation package and we walked into the town every day at least once (!) for coffee, shopping or a meal. Couldn’t have asked for more and hope to return one day.

The cottages were light and bright, warm, clean, comfortable, great location and equipped with all the essentials. We were warmly met and greeted be Jackie our host for our week stay and dropped by occasionally to see how we were going. It was relaxing to come back after a busy day and sit on our outside balcony with a cold drink and a beautiful view.

Separate bungalows (5 only) keep any sound from the neighbours to a minimum. Under cover car parking between bungalows. Breakfast on the veranda looking to the west over a grassy field with chickens feeding and wandering is delightful. Beds are comfortable. No espresso machine but French press is available. 1 Km walk to town, with coffee shop, butchers with best fruit on the island only 200 m away. Helpful non- intrusive owner readily available. Wifi, microwave oven, modern TV, radio, local mobile telephone. Main bedroom and bed-setter. Would visit again.

Can't fault this place. Well appointed cottage. You will want for nothing. Sit on the back veranda with a glass of wine and just watch the world go by as the sun sets. Jackie and Peter were lovely hosts - a wealth of information but never intrusive. So nice to have your own little cottage; and close to town and the airport. We would stay nowhere else should we return to NI.

Excellent location. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Very clean and comfortable with everything you need for a wonderful holiday on Norfolk. Jackie and Peter very hospitable local hosts.
