Delight awaits at Christmas Cottage, at 47 Eleventh Avenue, Northmead, to again enthral young and old with lights this festive season.

The owner of this home, Madeline Kruger, has been de“lighting” locals for the past 18 years and collaborated with Top Dogs four years ago to help the organisation raise awareness.
