Great place to stay

We loved our weekend at drop bear cottage. As soon as you arrive it feels comfortable and homely. The fenced in yard was great to keep the kids in without worrying about cars on the road. We enjoyed the board games, TVs in the bedrooms, and sitting on the verandah. We will be back for sure.

Excellent!

Property was excellent, had everything we needed. Great location, very close to the lake and supermarket. House was immaculate. The kids loved the supplied games, WiFi/Internet worked well. Beds super comfy. Can't fault the place! Friendly and plentiful wildlife. We even got treated to a huge lightning storm across the lake one night that we got to watch from the comfortable patio. Tracey is a great host. Thanks for having us, we had a great time!

A nice pet friendly getaway

We wanted a getaway somewhere quiet over the Xmas week with our small dog, that had a secure yard, and was walking distance to the beach. All above was ticked off with this place. What we didn’t like - we expected the place to be spotless due to the reviews (it was definitely not), a decent size fridge (& clean), a TV that could pick up all free view channels as a minimum (but preferably a smart TV) & decent kitchen knives (as we stayed 6 nights). If I was to be picky, I’d prefer cotton sheets/doona covers over the thin polyester ones provided (good to know if you’re like me). That said, the BBQ is excellent and the deck is a great place to relax in the afternoon sun, & our dog had the best time with plenty of outdoor space.

Great pet friendly accommodation with good location. Only downside really was the main tv only having abc and SBS which luckily are our preferred channels. Loved the coffee machine.

An excellent house for our family to stay in for a few days. A great space with everything we needed, a good provision of games for the kids, and we loved the firestove. A nice walk into town along the beach.
