Disliked: Check-in
The house was beautiful, comfortable, and in a lovely atmosphere. We were very impressed with the property and really enjoyed our stay.However, one thing that was quite difficult was communicating with the booking system. It was very hard to reach someone by phone. We tried several times to contact them to ask about the access code for the property, but unfortunately, we did not receive a response.As a result, I had to wait outside the house for almost two hours while waiting for the access information. This was quite stressful and inconvenient, especially after travelling.Overall, we really liked the property, but we hope the communication and check-in process can be improved in the future.

Amazing cottage

Perfect stay at the cottage. Very clean, with lots of amenities. The cottage is nestled with its natural surroundings. We had kangaroo's come right up to us. The kids feed the cattle and horses located on the property, with the owners, which were great! Very inviting and welcoming. We will definitely stay there again.

Family holiday

We had a week at Kelman Cottage for a family holiday. The location is beautiful. It’s peaceful and we loved seeing kangaroos and other wildlife each day. The cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable. We loved the pool area on the warmer days, enjoying the shade over the pool and the cabana area. On wet days the cottage had enough room for us to relax and enjoy games and reading. Thanks for a wonderful week.

Had another amazing experience at Kelman. Kids adored the animals (and feeding) with Dennis the hit again. Weather enabled use of the pool and BBQ well into the evenings this time and the seclusion of the property as well as the endless inclusions for kids made the 3 day stay perfect. Thank you!

It's great to know that the weather allowed you to fully enjoy the pool and BBQ, extending your evenings of fun and relaxation. The seclusion of the property, coupled with the numerous inclusions for kids, seems to have made your 3-day stay perfect.

Michelle- Shellharbour

Our family stayed at Kelman Cottage for my daughter’s 21st. We loved the pool area and pizza area for afternoon drinks and the outdoor area by the cottage for morning breakfast. During the evenings we enjoyed using the games provided. Kelman Cottage was quiet and peaceful with lovely views. My daughters enjoyed talking to the owner about the animals on site and joined in with feedings. We loved the cottage and it’s location and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to others.

Home away from home, with more!

Spent 2 nights with another family and our 5 kids. Kelman cottage over delivered on our expectations with endless comforts that made our stay that much more relaxing. Well stocked pantry, toys & games for kids of all ages (even the adults!), dvds and books, and so many zones to enjoy the view, even if the weather didn’t want to cooperate. Dennis was a particular favorite with the kids. We will be back! Hopefully when it’s warmer to enjoy the pool.
