We enjoyed a 2 night stay here to relax. Paul was friendly and ensured we had a good stay; provided more firewood. No noise from the main house. Highly likely we will return.

Our second visit to this amazing place.

We are totally in love with Rudders River View Cottage. It was our second time visiting and it won’t be the last. Everything is just perfect. The location, the view, the cottage has everything you need and the host’s Paul ,Chantal, their boys and of course Frankie the cavoodle are very welcoming, kind and very friendly. Our fur babies love it too. Thanks guys for an amazing holiday.

A great country getaway.

A beautiful setting. Very peaceful and private with a fantastic outlook over farmland with the river and coast in the distance. A fire was lit for us on arrival so it was nice and cosy on a rainy autumn evening. The hosts were very pleasant and accommodating, our elderly dogs were very comfortable with a confined lawn to wander around in. Will definitely try and get back there and recommend to family and friends.

Lovely farm cottage stay

A lovely stay in a gorgeous part of country NSW. We were looking for a couple of days relaxing in front of the cosy wood heater, looking out over rolling hills and taking in the star filled nights, and boy did Rudders Riverview Cottage deliver. Our Blue Heeler Trevor couldn’t quite work out the cattle and the Kangaroos just baffled him. Paul and Chantel were the prefect hosts and made us feel right at home. Thanks so much and we hope to be back soon.

Absolute perfection!

What a beautiful piece of paradise Paul & Chantal have here. This trip was everything we needed and more. The views, the hospitality, the outdoor shower under the stars - there was nothing to fault! We enjoyed the freshly baked bread and coffee each morning and spent our days enjoying the quiet and sunshine. Our fur baby Opie enjoyed his first holiday with us and loved running around and exploring the beautiful property. We cannot wait to come back again! Thank you Paul & Chantal!

Blissful

Everything about staying at Rudders Cottage was a joy. From the pre stay contact with my hosts Paul and Chantal. to the way the property was presented on arrival. I had two regrets. The first was I was not there just to relax, I had an event to attend, else I could have just curled up on the verandah over looking the view over the paddocks to the river and the sea. Alternating between sketch pad and book. The other was that the weather didn't allow for trying out the outdoor shower. Unreasonably chilly after a cold front came through.

A slice of Paradise.

Our initial contact prior to booking was fantastic, all of our questions were answered very quickly. Communication remained open as required during our stay. We arrived at the property in the early afternoon, the property was very well presented and access was very easy. The property was exceptionally well set out. The views over the valley were amazing. Paul and Chantel were wonderful hosts. When we arrived we were met by the family dog Frankie just a friendly fellow which our boys got on so well. When we walked in there was homemade bread cooking and soft relaxing music playing. We relaxed straight away, it made us feel very welcomed. Paul and Chantel have great knowledge of the area and suggested many places to visit. They really made us feel at home and nothing was a bother to them. We had a lovely week and we would most definitely stay again! thanks again Paul and Chantel 😊

Amazing views and ever so comfy and private

We loved our 4 night stay at Paul and Chantal's gorgeous cottage. Just what we needed. Could have stayed longer!! The breakfast items were so thoughtful and yummy. Paul's coffee and Chantal's cinnamon rolls were amazing. The cottage was very comfy and so private, even though the main house is close by (not too close and you don't hear a thing!) The furnishings are so comfortable and high quality. We recommend you do your shopping in a bigger town or before you leave home to ensure you get what you need and you then don't need to leave the property. Nabiac has some small shops for urgent supplies, but limited and over public holidays tend not to be open. To summarise, we would definately stay again! Paul and Chantal, their boys and their little dog Frankie are just charming hosts and have thought of everything!! Thanks guys!!

A piece of paradise

My partner and I organised our booking at very short notice. Paul and Chantal were very accommodating. Our weekend was cold, rainy and blustery. The cabin offered so much to enjoy inside with spectacular views from the bedroom and the lounge. Staying inside by the fire was delightful, there is a huge selection of books and magazines and an extensive range of cds. On arrival we found a loaf of fresh bread in the bread maker, jam, eggs, yoghurt and muesli provided by Paul and Chantal, the hosts. There many other lovely thoughtful details that made us feel very welcome. We thoroughly loved this property and will return again. We would recommend a stay here.

Peaceful and relaxing

My husband and our 2 dogs stayed for 2 nights and it was everything we wanted. Nice and quiet, breakfast provided, clean and tidy, beautiful sunrise, wood heater, and the owners respected our privacy. Felt like a home away from home. Really looking forward to coming back!
