Response from VrboOwner on 25 Feb 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We do take cleanliness very seriously, and it’s surprising to read this as we consistently receive very positive feedback from our guests regarding both cleanliness and accuracy of the listing. Had we been informed during your stay, we would have addressed any concerns immediately. Regarding the kitchen description, our listing clearly states that the space includes a kitchenette equipped with a microwave, fridge, and basic preparation essentials, but it does not advertise a full cooking kitchen with stovetop or oven. We always encourage guests to carefully review the listed amenities before booking to ensure the space meets their needs. There is a sink located within the bathroom, which is standard for this type of accommodation, and this is reflected in the photos provided in the listing. We truly value all feedback, but we also strive to ensure that descriptions remain accurate and transparent so future guests can book with confidence. Fortunately, the vast majority of our guests have had very enjoyable stays, and we remain committed to maintaining those standards. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

Beautiful stay with fantastic hospitality

We came for a quiet get away for my husbands birthday and found a lovely community with great people. Donna was so lovely from the first contact and made my husband's birthday super special, opening the restaurant for us and working with Chef Jackie to create a delicious menu. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was simply lovely. We will absolutely be back.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was such a pleasure to be part of your husband’s birthday celebration. From the moment we connected, I wanted to make sure it was a truly special experience for you both. I’m so glad you enjoyed the menu Chef Jackie and I put together — she is amazing. It means the world to hear that you felt welcomed and cared for. We have such a wonderful little community here, and it’s guests like you who make it even better. I’m already looking forward to your next visit! Warmest wishes, Donna

Nice quiet area to just relax. No cooking facilities and no restaurant make getting food a little difficult. Restaurants and takeaways are in towns about 15 minutes away, so be prepared for that. Other than that, a really nice stay.

Fantastic cosy little nook in quiet location

Donna was a great host. Very accommodating whenever we needed provisions. We were really impressed that she opened the restaurant just for us, when it was supposed to be closed for the holidays, paying attention to our dietary requirements as well. The food was absolutely delicious and the ambience was lovely. We were also allowed to bring our cat to stay in the cottage, and she LOVED the experience with us. The cellar had an excellent selection of wines which we enjoyed. We stayed 8 nights and could have easily stayed another week! We were able to find many good eateries and wineries for lunches and dinners within a 30 min drive. Highly recommend.

Lovely manager and setting. Cafe meal Friday night was great. Service was quirky but very friendly. Bed, shower and surrounds were good too. But kitchen/breakfast supplies were poor. For example there were 10 forks, 2 knives and one spoon??? And our breakfast supplied was bread, butter and jam, hardly enough for one person for one day, let alone two people for two days. The kitchen desperately needs a stove, sink and dishwashing materials.

Bit disappointing

The Carob & Hare website lists open times for the cafe which is old info. We arrived expecting to have lunch at the cafe & had to drive into the next town instead, we wouldn’t have driven there first if the website didn’t state the cafe would be open. We found having open milk, open butter & jam etc a bit weird, small individual serves being more hygienic / preferable, who knows when the long life milk was opened. The host is a lovely lady & the place was clean though.

Don’t stay here

Was not told which cabin I was in. After two messsges I finally worked it out myself by process of elimination. Open the door to find dead flys all over the floor, dead/dying cockroaches and spiders. Linens were clean, bed as hard as rocks. The restaurant that was supposed to be open, apparently according to locals hadn’t been open for more than 6 months!!! Paid over $200 per night for crap.
