Cozy and comfy cabin

I spent one night in the cabin with my kids. It was a great accommodation with open space in the front. Nice, tidy and organised stuffs inside. Varieties of board games to enjoy with kids and of course lots of stuffs for snakes and breakfast. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Meagan and Mitch

Host profile image
Mitch and Meagan live in the main house on the property, the cottage is totally separated. We love the area as it is close to some very interesting historical towns. We can often be found in the many detecting areas close by, hunting for the elusive nuggets.

Why they chose this property

Great quite country area, short distance from lots of historical towns, lots of areas to go gold detecting and second hand shops.

We have Gold panning equipment for hire at no charge and can recommend some places close by.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is located on a 1/2 acre - totally fenced in area - pets and Children welcome. There is also a smaller fenced in area around the cottage. - you have your own space totally detached from the main residence.

The cottage is accessed via a private drive way - with plenty of parking space, feel free to bring along your boat or Caravan to be parked free of charge during your stay.

Working Chook House, Kids are welcome to collect the eggs and interact with the chooks.
