A terrific stay. It’s very hard to find a rustic cabin such as this where you can “be off the grid” while still having the option of going to nearby towns such as Richmond and Windsor, only a few minutes away.

What a great spot !!!

Lovely little log cabin with the necessities, a fire and perfect location away from everyone for a getaway. An added bonus of limited mobile reception was a plus. Fiona was lovely and accomodating, would truly recommend !!!!

Beautiful getaway away from the hustle & bustle of city life!

My family & I had a wonderful getaway in this rustic hidden cottage for the weekend - exactly what we needed to rejuvenate & relax in the nature that surrounds the cottage! We could not have asked for anything more than the simple, quiet & moments! Fiona & her husband were very great & helpful! Definitely worth a stay

Beautiful, secluded cabin

It was amazing to reflect that this property was only just over an hour from Sydney. It felt like we were hours from anywhere. We had a great weekend swimming in the river, tasting gin and picking fruit. The cabin was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed and the surroundings were just spectacular.

We had a great stay at Magnolia Cottage. It was really very cute and old fashioned, but also clean and comfortable. Well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The kids loved having campfires and exploring the nearby creek. The spa bath was also a hit! Fiona was excellent to communicate with and Mike and the dogs gave us a warm welcome the day we arrived. Highly recommend for a disconnected weekend not too far from Sydney!Also for families with young kids, the Australiana Pioneer Village is less than half hour away and was a great day out.Thanks Mike and Fiona!

What an amazing place!

Couldn’t have been happier with our stay at the beautiful Magnolia Cottage, hosted by Mike and Fiona. Cabin was full of rustic charm, and surprisingly well insulated through the colder nights. Our dog probably had the best time exploring the property and jumping in the creek, and the kids loved running around and collecting firewood. Was a fantastic break from the city, easily accessible yet felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. Easily one of the best vacation rentals we’ve stayed in, will definitely be back!

Want a get away from Sydney.

My friend and I needed a break and get away, from the fast pace of Sydney and work. Well we got it, peaceful, relaxed our 3 dogs loved it, all the essential items were there, just bring your food, could have stayed longer. Our host Fiona was fantastic, any inquiries needed, she was more than happy to answer. We will definitely be back next year.
