A well-loved and quirky cottage with stunning views and lots of unexpected extras. The gated verandah let the dogs relax with us easily.Definitely a steep drive up - hence the 4WD, but well worth the effort. Will definitely be back.
Stayed for a couple nights and loved it! Property was immaculate, very well set up with clear instructions. Comfy beds, big kitchen, great bathroom and awesome living space! Oh and the view 10/10!
With the fire lit when we arrived & wonderful attention to detail with generous treats we had a wonderful stay & would highly recommend. Super clean, tidy & well appointed it was a home away from home.
We stayed during the Winter Festival which the kids (aged 4 and 6) particularly loved. Plenty to do in the area. Immaculate house with everything you would ever need. Zoe was lovely and helpful. Thanks! 😊
Brilliant hideaway spot ...so quiet....so convenient....so comfortable...so great hearing a cacophony of sound from the birdlife....so roomy ....SO EVERYTHING !!
