You can see Part 2  - after you read this one!

A while ago I won a 2 night stay at Quay West Resort in Bunker Bay. 
Drew and I used it this weekend as our Honeymoon! 

It has been the first time away from the children for more than 12 hours!! 
And boy was it one amazing weekend!! 

5 star Resort, complete with golf buggies to transport you around (no cars allowed!), Gnomesville, Chocolate factories (yes two!!), Wineries, Breweries, Meadery and Olive Oil farms and a visit from the RAC!

Now while I am writing this.. I am enjoying Margs River chocolate and an oldschool Ruski! :)


Friday:
MissC went to daycare early and I dropped MasterS off at my parents (Nanna and Grampy) house so we could get an early start..


Cones!
Drew decided that this will the be car for his mid-life crisis.
Mid morning munchies – Corn Dog and Chips on the hunt for Gnomesville

Ok so Drew didn’t believe me that it was a place of Gnomes

Yup! Literately thousands of gnomes!

    ha ha ha… Adams pet hate is people who drive convertables with the top down and the windows still up. That aside, I think i fell a little bit in love with gnomesville, and how gorgeous was your room!!! x

    Those gnomes look freaky. And the place your staying at looks perfect.

    I am so glad you are posting this, I was wondering how it went. We have stayed at BB a few times and it has been just an amazing experience. In a few weeks time, people can see the whales migrating as they eat breakfast there – it is magic! I can't believe I have never heard of Gnomesville – right up my alley – Reiner will hate it – ha ha'

    Those gnomes would have creeped me out. Those cheeses would have made it all okay again.

  11.  

    First – that room is bigger then my house! Second – loving the amazing pics and looks like you had a fantastic time :)

  12.

    How wonderful! Certainly looks like you had a fun time. And ps. You have inspired me to jump on the bed next time we have our weekend away xx

  22.  

    That place looks so good! And Dave does the same thing, we are never in a place longer than 10 minutes before he's turning the TV just to see if it works and to see what channels we get! Me? I'm walking around opening every cupboard and drawer in the place. Don't ask me why, it's just something I have to do!

  23.  

    Wow! Looks like you had a great time and lovely to see some photos of the resort! Looks great :) Might have to check out Gnomesville next time we're down south!
