Great little getaway from the busy city

Nice and relaxing stay, with many options from adventuring or if your version of relaxing is wineries and breweries there is plenty to do OR just stay in and read a book with stunning views.

Gorgeous secluded cottage

This north facing sunny cottage was quaint, oh so private and beautifully presented. The wood fire came with kindling and wood provided. The shower is a few steps outside the house but almost my favourite thing. Plenty of hot water and views into the eucalyptus forest made it very special.
