We are going to miss the tawny frog mouths, but for some reason, I don’t think they will miss us 🤪

After very serious consideration, I’ve made the decision not to renew my lease at The Bronte. In Three weeks time, I’ll be finishing up — two years since I stepped into this adventure. It hasn’t been an easy decision. The Bronte has been a huge part of my life, and I’m so proud of what I’ve built here.

I’ve met the most wonderful guests, great staff members, created beautiful memories, and poured my heart into every single stay. But the truth is… it’s also been a lot. Doing mostly everything myself — bookings, cleaning, maintenance, paperwork, check-ins, breakfast prep — has meant there’s been very little time for anything else. It’s been constant. And as much as I’ve tried to hold it all together, my kids have experienced a very absent, tired, very stretched, sometimes cranky version of me.

As a single mum of three, that’s been the hardest part. I’ll never get back the time I’ve missed, especially with my 11-year-old, and that’s something that’s weighed heavily on me. (My 23- and 20-year-old… well, they probably couldn’t give a s**t 😂 but I know deep down they’re proud of their mum.) At almost 50 — yes, I know, I know — my body has made it very clear it can’t keep up with this pace forever. My physical and mental health have copped it big time, and I’ve had to really listen to that.

This chapter is closing, but I’m incredibly proud of these two years. The Bronte has been a labour of love, and I’ll always cherish what it’s been. We’re still open and welcoming guests over the next three weeks, and I’d absolutely love to see some familiar faces (and new ones) before I finish up.

Thank you for your support, your encouragement, and for being part of this journey. Truly 🤍 Cindy
