Such a magic little spot. The cottage was warm, comfortable and offered everything you need for a winter getaway. Walks around the property were beautiful, visited all the animals, tennis court and pool for the kids, and in a great spot to adventure around Red Hill, Flinders and Arthur’s Seat. Felt truly relaxed! Will def be back.

HI Mandy, Thanks for your review. I just need to point out a few things that are incorrect; As discussed with you when you asked, the owner does NOT live on the property, the house you are referring to is unoccupied. We do not allow large numbers of non-paying guests to use the facilities on the property, as you requested, it is for paying guests only. There is another short stay option on the property, but neither cottages are visible to each other due to being at opposite ends of the property, which is on a slope. The tennis court and pool are for absolutely for guest use as there are no private owners on the property, and again the owner does not live on the property so the pool and tennis court are not in front of their house!
