Staycations: Changi Cove

This was pre-planned months ago as a surprise for Mr Wonderful for his 35th birthday. I was actually looking at a Staycation in Sentosa but he mentioned that we should go Pulau Ubin for a cycling trip instead. So I tot it's a good idea, and we are also looking forward to dine at The Coastal Settlements (Considering that it's nearby), too. So I check the internet and found Changi Cove to be situated nearby, and so, here we are....

Changi Cove is located at 351 Cranwell Road, which is just across the road to TCS (The Coastal Settlement). 

Changi Cove is a good place if you are looking for some place away from the busy crowd. It is really quiet around the area at night, but a 10 minutes bus ride will bring you to Changi Village where you can find lots of delicious food. 

About Changi Cove

Changi Cove - Heritage restored and modernized, set in nature

Changi Cove includes a Gateway Conference Centre as well as 112 modern rooms.

Photo taken within the hotel compound.

Doesn't look like a hotel at all, more like... Hostel...
One thing that I dislike is that, getting to the rooms is a bit complicated. You will have to take the lift up to a certain level, go thru the meeting/function rooms, out to the next building, take another lift up again. I almost got lost..... 

Finally, I found the corridor that leads to my room....

Upon opening the door, this is what I see.....

Very cosy environment... 
Love the swinging chair next to the window...

The bed is made up of 2 single beds, but nevertheless, it was super comfortable....
The bed is soft and I really slept well that night.

My favourite furniture in the room....
There wasn't much of a nice view outside but it just feels so good to sit there and day dream...

My second favourite.... 
Really love hotels with Nepresso in their rooms!

And complimentary chocolates to go with my coffee.....

Wow.... L'Occitane toiletries in the toilet...

They also have something in the room that other hotels doesn't.....

A whiteboard wall for all your imaginations & thoughts....
P/S: It was Mr Wonderful's Birthday so I drew that while he was having his nap....

There is no swimming pools or gym in the hotel. But they have a lounge that is open 24 hours for their guests.....

Upon opening the door, this is what I see.....

Biscuits, Snacks....

Coffees, milo, tea....

Beanie seats next to the window....
There's also tables and chairs if need to get some work done...

Further in, there's a shelf that is filled with all sorts of board games....

There's monopoly, bingo and all sorts of games...

There's another door at the end of the lounge that opens up to a outdoor seating area....

Nice environment, isn't it... 
It will be better with a glass of bubbles in hand...

Night view of the hotel or hostel??

The stay comes with a complimentary breakfast for 2.
The dining area is located opposite the hotel lobby.

The long dining tables....

Cereals, oats, yogurts, fresh fruits....
Simple and delicious....

There are also hot dishes such as ham, eggs and breads...

We had a delicious breakfast before checking out the hotel....

Overall, Changi Cove is a nice place away from the hustle of busy city life. Especially great after spending a day out in the nature at Palau Ubin, a nice & cosy place to rest for a night. A wonderful chance for a romantic night with just the 2 of you...

It's been a long time since Mr Wonderful and I have a date. Glad to spend some private time together for dinner without Baby Joy! It was a surprise dinner date (3 weeks ago) as he just SMS me the venue 5 minutes before I off work.  When I reach the restaurant, there was a big crowd outside, waiting for tables. Mr Wonderful got 2 seats at the Sushi Counter which is our favorite whenever we dine at a  Japanese Restaurant.   There's a welcome drink for everybody. Never got to know what drink is that as the servers are always busy. We had a hard time trying to get their attention as everyone is attending to tables. There were a lot of table services such as tossing salad and cooking Sukiyaki by the table side.   My welcome drink   Quite nice, a little minty. The chilli padi looks scary, but you don't taste that at all... Wagyu Toro Sushi $7.90 I am not a fan of raw beef, so I've got nothing much to saw about this. But the beef literally 'melts' in my mouth, so make

Bye, 2013... Hello, 2014.... & Mini Giveaway

After all the celebration and parties to celebrate Christmas, so 2013 is coming to an end. Looking back into 2013, I've got a fair share of the good and bad...  Now that 2014 is arriving, it's time to plan for the future.... Yes! I plan that in 2013, but things are not going smoothly for me then.  But I'm gonna do that again in 2014, and the first thing I'm gonna do is.... To be pregnant again... Yes, that's my number one plan for 2014. I'm not young anymore, and I really do look forward to have a child of my own. I lost my child in 2013, and I'm not gonna let that happen again this time. I'm gonna take good care of myself this time and give birth to a healthy baby. Secondly, Mr Wonderful and I had gave up choosing a bto unit this year. It is because they are left with only second storey units, while we prefer a higher storey one. Hopefully, this year, we are able to to book a unit. Next, I hope I can have more time
