Peaceful
Great little place really enjoyed my stay so very quiet hearing the birds in the background was great. The sunroom is a bonus lovely especially on a sunny day great spot to sit and wind down with a Cuppa. Very private and safe place to stay if you are on your own.

Charming and private
Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The place was charming, well equiped and roomy, down a quiet dirt road in the hills. Its big sunroom windows looked out on beautiful green fruit trees & hedges and this was a lovely place to have breakfast. We met the resident wombats and kangaroos in the area each night. However we were disappointed in the quality of the bed which was quite old and uncomfortable and a few other items needed replacing eg. the toilet seat. The bed head had also come loose from the wall. Given we paid $200 per night we feel we should be able to expect a very comfortable bed.

Perfect cottage to stay in for the time we were in the area. Loved the serenity, bird life, location and access to local cafes and pubs. Highly recommend for a country getaway.

A very comfortable well set up cottage with plenty of room and privacy. It was the perfect place to meet up with relatives we hadn't seen in many years. Excellent hosts, thankyou for making it available. Kind regards alfred tesser
