The property is very peaceful. The cottage was clean, water was hot and the bed was comfortable. We didn’t use much inside as we didn’t cook there. Our little dog was fascinated by the sheep and al pacas ! She didn’t bark once at them just loved watching them in the adjoining field.

Jessica D.

Disliked: Communication
Unfortunately there was a lack of wifi/internet throughout our stay which could've been advised of in advance. As there was also no signal, this was a frustrating process to try to communicate and rectify. We had to take unnecessary trips into town just to text the host only to find out they were aware of the issue and failed to notify us prior to check in. Whilst the issue itself was understandably not the host's fault, not having any access contact family/friends or be able to watch some TV/movies (which was part of the reason for the stay) - was frustrating. Because of this, we were unaware of the cyclone and had to drive back in unsafe weather - which we could've avoided had we had connection. The host did try to rectify the internet issue but wasn't able to throughout the stay. Also there were empty cans left on the lawn when we arrived. Beautiful place which would've been lovely in winter with the fireplace and working connection.

I enjoyed my stay for nine nights. Owner provided everything for a relaxing, no frills farm stay. Her attention to detail was excellent providing all the comforts like home. Netflix was an added bonus, so I watched *The Crown* - also enjoyed most of the tennis finals of the Australian Open.

So relaxing

The property was exactly what I thought it was going to be the photos really show what to expect. The cottage is clean and cosy but doesn’t have a stuffy small felling that can happen with spaces similar to this. My sister and I loved our stay her and we had so much fun visiting all the locations around like the Wellington dam and black diamond lake but we also took advantage of the dam close to the cottage itself. Thank you so the lovely stay :)

Beautiful Cottage in Mumballup, Collie

This 1 bedroom Cottage is a great place to rent for a couple. It’s peaceful and very secluded. Amazing sunsets and waking up to the birds chirping is lovely. Enjoyed the walks down to the dam and we drove into Collie Central and had lunch at a cafe and walking around looking at different shops. We recommend this place for coffee and food. We recommend this place below Wagon 537 81 Forrest Street, Collie WA 6225 It’s worth checking out Collie it’s got so many things you can do and see.

Magic Spot - Everything You Need

What a lovely find! Really enjoyed the peace and quiet and so handy to the Ferguson Valley wineries. Magic fireplace for those cool winter nights, enjoyed watching the sunset. Bird feeders attracted the birds. A good kitchen and bathroom. TV a bit awkward to watch, but wasn’t a deal breaker. Hosts were super lovely and very accommodating. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

Picturesque cabin on a gorgeous farmstead

We stayed for an extended weekend with our two year old for our anniversary weekend. The cabin and surrounding was beautiful! We loved the comfy bed, enclosed yard, friendly alpacas and chickens, and gorgeous paddock walks. The fire pit worked amazingly to roast marshmallows while stargazing. We highly recommend and knowing there is a lodge as part of the property means we can come back with a bigger group of friends in the future! We loved it!! Vicki was very quick in communication and has a lovely eye for detail. Well done!!

Relaxing, breathtaking..perfection.

Cosy, comfortable cottage with everything you need. Luxurious bed and even towels. Vicki did not skim on toiletries & consumables. SHe used good quality and environmental friendly products. Even noticed the dish washing & laundry liquid was of good quality where most other hosts just use the cheapest products available which does not cut the grease. Pantry stocked with Milo & Hot Choc. What a lovely sight. LIttle things that makes you go.. "Aaaahhh... " :) Whole house is secured with fencing to ensure a safe running area for our little furbaby that travelled with us. Glen Mervyn dam was just a close walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and post-operation recovery holiday. Thanks, Vicki. Keep it up. We will visit again! xx
