Our stay was great! The cottage was very clean and the perfect location for a bridal preparation location. Jonathan was very hospitable and great with communication!
Great location to be able to walk to most things. House a little tired in places but overall a great place for the whole family.Fly wires on all windows and doors would be helpful and lack of bbq was a shame.
We had a lovely weekend at the cottage over a cold and rainy long weekend.
Everything was as per the Stayz post, however, some minor constructive critiscisms:
Needed more than one tea towel! Ours was used for drying washing up, moving hot pans and drying hands in the kitchen. So an oven glove would alao be good!
A few boxes of tissues would also not go astray.
Lovely time with a few small improvements.
Spacious property perfect for small group of people
The property is located in a quiet street with shops within short driving distance. The property is spacious, nice and cosy with plenty of light. The property manager is friendly and very responsive. I had a relaxing stay with my family.
Worked well as a base to catch up with aged relatives. Nice and close to bike path for the kids.

Nice weekend away. A shame about the cleanliness.
Turned up to the property looked great.
The bins where overflowing and rubbish all over the driveway. Had to shove it all back in the bin of what little space the there was.
The house inside was lovely, very well styled.
Went to have a shower after a big day and found hair all in the drain. Not what you want to see when trying to have a relaxing shower.
Was unaware of the property being right next to the rail line.
Great little place but needs work on little things. Will not stay again.
The cottage was gorgeous - stylishly designed, fresh and clean. Had everything we needed. We loved the fireplace, surplus heaters (it was cold!) and garden. Jonathan was also super helpful. We would definitely come back and stay again!!

Thanks so much Emily for the great review. We enjoyed having you all and the place was spotless when you left. We would love to have you back again. :)
Jonathan was an excellent host including when we left property in the house and he offered to return them via post. The house was very clean and the bathroom was gorgeous! Super close to moss vale and Bowral. The outside looked lovely but unfortunately we went on weekend they had huge rainfall and it rained all weekend! Would be gorgeous to have a bbq outside
