Good property with all you need for a getaway. Neat & tidy, surface clean & great location. Not so great with communication if you book through Wotif - owner uses a different system, so you can’t see any messages sent through Wotif.

Relaxing

Amazing location. Loved the wildlife, was not happy even after checking with the property manager if it was safe to travel due to the bushfire( was informed it was safe to travel) was not informed that the national park and all attractions were closed.

Great location with close proximity to town & hikes. Inside clean but outdoor space needs attention. Patio furniture dirty & soaked through due to rain & leaking awning. No BBQ & only one firewood log for 3 night stay.Overall attention to detail lacking but enjoyed the wildlife & surrounds.

just ok

Went in the Easter holidays, Property needs a bit of TLC as paint chipping off the walls, curtains not opening evenly, needs more lighting inside the house, some areas in porch with no roof, outdoors area needed a bit of maintenance. But good wi-fi, easy to use Smart TV with Netflix, Board games, cooking needs if you forget to bring was well thought of. Towels and linens provided were good. No trash bags to replace full ones though. Close to town centre but not too busy so good area. Close to walking tracks as well.

Nice place for a getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Banksia Cottage. Nothing bad to say. There is one thing though that would have made our stay and arriving in particular even better. It was +40 when we got there and probably even hotter inside. Had to wait around 3 hours with the air-con on before we were able to enjoy ourselves (sitting directly under it). The air-con seemed to have a timer setting so the property owner could have contacted us regarding our arrival time and maybe cooled the cottage before hand. Other than that nice backyard, lots of wild animals, comfy beds and everything worked nicely in the kitchen.

Thanks for your review and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Banksia Cottage. We are sorry that you had to turn the airconditioner on yourself, unfortunately the house is not equipped with automation so we cant turn it on remotly and we are not located on site. We are glad that everything else met your expectations as we try hard to please our guests.

NEEDS SOME TLC

Though it may have won the 2008 Award it certainly could do with a freshen up now. Curtains just hanging, backdoor extremely difficult to close/lock, gutters that were a waterfall onto the verandah - hiking shoes got even wetter than what the weather threw at us. It just needs some TLC to bring it back. Location was great. Wildlife plentiful. A great area.

cosy cottage

The cottage was cosy and very well equipped. Good location, but just a bit noisy for us with the school camp and with cars coming to the trail heads nearby. It was nice to sit out on the deck and watch the kangaroos in the garden - especially a joey!

This place is in a beautiful location, and in a quiet area located close to the Boronia Peak walking tracks. We were disappointed that there was no BBQ as stated in the description, the beds were hard, and a tiny milk for coffee wasn’t complimentary.

Great house for our week’s holiday. Extremely clean and very comfortable for a wet July.

A comfortable base for a wet July visit. Kitchen well stocked with cooking equipment and ideally located for walking.

Banksia cottage

The cottage is ideal for a short get away. Easy to access shops, walking trails and any number of outdoor activities and just as good to curl up on the couch with a good book in front of the fireplace

Amazing wildlife and scenery

This was such a lovely place to stay. All necessary amenities in the house. Fantastic cooling with fans and air-conditioning. Loved the visiting wildlife! Cockatoos to chat with in the morning and kangaroos and deer wandering into the back yard. Bliss! The mountain views on all sides were breathtaking. I'm sad to be going home.
