Country Guesthouse Schonegg » Family

Refreshed!

Richard — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:53:46 +0000

Just a quick note to let you know we have enjoyed a wonderful week away, visiting my relatives in Coolum. They offered us great hospitality (must run in the family) and we all enjoyed a wonderful break.

We’re back into the swing of things, with another full house and a busy weekend coming up. With the close of the Masterpieces from Paris exhibition the bookings diary is opening up just a little bit, however weekends, especially Saturday’s, are still very popular.

As always, to ensure you get your special date, book early!

By the way, we will be announcing the winner of Kirsty’s competition early next week. (Sorry for the delay, this was caused by the extension of the exhibition and our holiday).

Regards,

Richard

Martin and Libby – Loving our Pet Friendly B&B accommodation

We have a very good friend from Germany who is now working in Australia. He is an avid blogger. Here is the link to Martin’s Aussie Blog.

Martin stayed with us on a couple of occasions last year, search his blog for Schonegg posts to get an ‘insiders view’ of life with us!

Whilst he was with us, our son Mathias Photoshopped a picture of our whippet Libby which Martin posted on his blog.

As you can see, even pets have a great stay with us.

If you travel with your pet, we are one of the few accommodation providers that will welcome you. We have two pet friendly rooms, check our Room Rates page for details.

We’d love to hear from you, the only person who loves a comment more than me is Martin, so when you have visited his blog leave him a comment too!

New Year’s Resolutions

Richard — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 01:12:36 +0000

Everyone seems keen to share their New Year’s Resolutions - so here we go!

Focus on the Guesthouse

Many of you will be aware we have cut back on function catering to focus our energies on providing first class guesthouse accommodation and meals. Our occupancy levels have grown and we now serve dinner to our guests five nights a week (Wednesday to Sunday), this is keeping us busy enough, thank you!

Work/Life Balance

As noted above, with our focus on the guesthouse we are better placed to achieve that elusive ‘work/life balance’. For us this means spending time with the kids, walking the dog and getting to the gym twice a week. We’re loving it!

Your Resolutions?

We hope you have had some success in achieving your New Year’s Resolutions. Some tips – keep them achievable, write them down and stick them somewhere visible like the fridge or bathroom mirror.

If you too are keen for some balance in your life, you might pencil in a couple of days away from the ratrace – just 24 or 48 hours is often enough to achieve long term benefits and a renewed zest for live. Sounds like time well spent to me…. obvioulsy we’d love to help with some great accommodation in a peaceful rural setting.

Any other resolutions you’d like to share.. please leave a comment.

Cheers,

Richard
