This was a great place for three friends and a dog. The home was well set up with a good kitchen, comfy warm beds and a good space for the dog to run on his lead. We really enjoyed the histories at the Magpie Nest - writings by year 9 students from interviewing locals, and a history of Orroroo to mark its 100th birthday. This was particularly interesting as we were in Orroroo as the town prepared to celebrate 150 years (green and gold ribbons) in October 2025. A lovely, friendly town to stay in and Magpie Nest was a really good, handy place to stay.
A cottage with a great from the verandah. We arrived late but the cottage exceeded our expectations, wish we could stayed longer, nothing was missing. We gave the local pub around the corner a visit and here we found out more points of interest to visit, but because we only passing by we have to stop next time a day longer.
Located in outback town location this simple 3 bedder ticks all the boxes many more elaborate and expensive accommodation houses fail to provide. Every imaginable requirement is provided for the weary traveller to comfortably pull off the road for a night or two.
Clean, quiet and well equipped.
Well done Susan.
Love Orroroo. Have stayed at Black Jack Cottages 3 times now. 3 different cottages. ( Nana's Home, Kangaroo Cottage and Magpie's Nest. Next time Possums Cottage. ) so comfy, clean and relaxing. Susan is a fantastic host. We will be back. Thanks Susan 👍
We had a relaxing and pleasant stay with everything we could need including the fire set, breakfast and warm beds. If I was in this area again, I would definitely stay here.
Very peaceful spot in between two similar properties (if you were traveling as a group would be perfect to rent all three!). Everything was clean and comfortable. Loved our stay and would recommend.
What an awesome place to stay!
Pet friendly, warm and cosy. Plenty of parking for our work truck too. And an enclosed yard that our doggos loved!
Quiet with great views of the hills.
So glad Orroroo is only a few hours from home, I reckon this will be our ‘get a away from it all’ place.
Thanks Susan
Susan provides the complete package for a B&B; friendly communication and a house which feels like a home not just a holiday house. Thanks for making our stay enjoyable.
