The cottage has stairs and is not recommended for anyone who would find them a challenge, although we have bedding and everything you need downstairs. To keep the children safe, we have a latch on the upstairs bedroom door for the adults’ peace of mind. Pets are not allowed because we don't have an enclosed area.
We have a visitor information guide to explore Linton, including historical walking/driving tours and a map of the Rail Trails. We also have two bikes with helmets for our guests to use during their stay.

This was our 2nd time staying at this Beautiful property, and it was just as good as the first. Awesome spa to relax in and great walking tracks to enjoy nature
We loved our weekend away at this beautiful place. We had a very comfortable stay, LOVED the spa and enjoyed using the BBQ. The serenity was appreciated and just what we needed. Would go again and hope to very soon!
Excellent accommodation in a beautiful location! We had lovely, relaxing weekend in Linton. We really enjoyed walking through the pine forest that is right across the road and soaking in the hot tub. Excellent hosts. Can't wait to visit again.
We had a very relaxing stay at the beautiful cottage. The cottage was very clean, the kitchen was perfect with all that we needed. The beds were clean and soft. The spa was very nice to use after a day of hiking and biking. The host also provided 3 bikes which we made full use of. Would highly recommend this place and would surely visit again.
Very cosy house, it was plenty for 2 people to enjoy time away from a busy lifestyle. It was a very quiet area not alot of people around.
We enjoyed our stay.
Perfect for quiet time away and the position of being able to ride our bikes in both direction in different days on the rail trail was ideal.
After a long ride, the spa was ideal!!
My partner and I had a fantastic and relaxing weekend here. The surroundings were beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Our favourite part was the spa which was always at the perfect temperature and ready to use any time of day. Thanks Halina for providing such a great experience!
We had a wonderful stay and Halina is an amazing host.
The house is cosy, very well appointed, clean and with lots of nice little touches to make you feel right at home.
The kids had plenty of space to run around outside and kick a footy and play.
Awesome spa to relax in too 😁.
Would definitely stay here again.
My partner and I had a wonderful time here. The property was clean and we had everything that we could of needed for our stay. The spa was fantastic after a long day of mountain biking. The property was clean and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again!
We spent 3 nights at Linton Retreat. Lovely host, the retreat is exceptionally clean and very relaxing.
We highly recommend visiting. We will be back 😊
Probably the cleanest stayz we have ever experienced. Hosts have provided many extras and were responsive to communications. The surrounds are lovely with an abundance of bird life. Easy access to rail trail. We had a really enjoyable stay.
We did not like the stairs, but that was only due to us not being good on our feet, other than that, the place was first rate, I liked the place, and the town
A beautiful little modern cottage, very clean, with everything you could need. The local chickens that came to visit at the door was a cute suprise. Perfect place to relax
We cant highly recommend this getaway enough, The communication was really great - the accommodation was as advertised- we had everything we needed for a home away from home. The whole place was very clean and tidy. The best part was the amazing jacuzzi - it was so clean and warm- and we loved the privacy- Thank you for the robes and thongs that made it comfortable- also the water to keep hydrated.
I surprised my partner with a weekend away the location was amazing the house is amazing the spa for the cold weather was incredible... the bread was delicious thank you so much for a peaceful time away
The bikes were a great touch and the dam trail to ride along was a great touch to our stay what a great area to escape to! The king size bed was great and so comfortable we didnt want to leave haha will definitely be rebooking in the near future thank you so much helana for letting us book this beautiful retreat!
An immaculately presented beautifully fitted out house. We had a wonderful stay in this tranquil setting. Halina has thought of everything you could possibly need for a relaxing get away. From a well equipped kitchen to the fabulous hot tub. Five star treatment all the way.
