Beautiful place to stay with family we had a great time very private area and peaceful we enjoyed the spa and watching the sky at night overall a great experience thanks
Really enjoyed our time here, our 2nd stay! Peaceful and relaxing, the incredible views and spa take the serenity to the next level! Very comfy beds and lots of space.
Comfortable cottage. Lovely fire in the living room and spa on the deck. Needs a little step handy for spa access. Brought our own this time plus needs a few more choices of bowls/plates etc in the kitchen but basic setting there. Plenty of towels and comfy beds.

Absolutely loved it best relaxing weekend loved the view the spa the cottage everything
Can’t wait to come back again next year, and the year after that
We had a lovely 2 night stay at Polehouse Cottage providing us with the opportunity to disconnect and enjoy some fresh country air.
The house and spa were perfectly clean with comfy warm beds and an indoor fire that was sufficient heating.
We’d definitely stay here again.
The pole house was amazing we enjoyed our stay it was very peaceful and private definitely recommend staying here for a little getaway definitely will be back
House is clean and well equipped. Fabulous location for a weekend. Absolutely loved the hot tub. Friendly cows Rose and Ariel stole our hearts. Thank you for having us!
Truly relaxing, awesome views of river valley, sunrise and sunset. Very quiet and cosy fire. Lovely touch with cows in neighbouring paddock, kangaroos and birdlife.
Gorgeous cottage, generous size, beautiful views. Would definitely stay again. The only issue was when we stayed (July 2023) the spa had no steps to get in/out so anyone who was vertically challenged or has mobility issues could struggle. But definitely loved the place.
A beautiful, peaceful property to stay. Wanted to get away for a weekend and this is was the perfect place to relax. Leave the curtains open at night and have a beautiful view of the stars. Location was close enough to get essentials if you forgot anything and far enough from the other property with good privacy. The hot spa was the cherry on top of the stay.
Thank you Nicholas for a fantastic stay! Will definitely be coming back ☺️
