We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the view and tranquility. Only downside is no wifi and poor phone connection so I could not connect with my young ones at home. Thank you for making your bach so comfortable and clean.

We loved the location. It was perfect for our outdoor activities of cycling and walking. The house was very comfortable for the four of us. We loved how sunny the living area was and how warm and comfortable the beds were. There was everything in the kitchen we needed and we appreciated the condiments and tea and coffee. Thanks so much and hopefully we'll be back.

Magificent

This was a great place to stay. Weather was fantastic and the location ideal for a most relaxing break. Walking the area was also very nice. Birdlife had a great range and the rabbits kept popping up. Overall a most pleasant experience and recommended. The house had everything you could want.

Time out.

This area is almost a secret, the properties are all in harmony with the natural bush setting. We did lots of walks and general exploration of the bush and streams etc, tried fishing and fishing is not all about the fish. We travelled down roads and tracks that we had always intended to explore, we even came across some very young wild pigs. A great place to recharge the batteries.

A nice getaway

We could have easily stayed a lot longer. Cosy Dell crib is just a short walk to a river which our young children could easily walk to the other side, collect colourful rocks and build dams. There were lots of kids games, DVDs and books to amuse us and we also went on a few forest walks. The crib is nice and clean and it ticks all boxes with washing machine, dryer and dishwasher. It really is a nice spot and one just to relax and unwind.
