Great property, kept very neat and tidy, plenty of room for multiple boats in the driveway and on the grass - gate is a little narrow but very manageable with some care reversing in. Thank you for a great stay

The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed.

Magpie Cottage was certainly well named. Not only has the cottage been very well loved and maintained, the magpies carolled us daily.

Fantastic Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: we were visiting for a funeral - and had our dogs with us - which I stayed with. Back yard is fully enclosed so could let the dogs have a play - and the front yard is perfectly enclosed for larger dogs. House has everything you could possibly need, every bedroom has a tele - two livivig areas - we will be back to visit family and happily hope to stay here again. The booking process was also wonderful the booking staff were just brilliant

Magpie Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are 2 older ladies, this venue would be wonderful for a couple of families with children. It’s as if nanna and pop have everything ready for the grandchildren to visit!Plenty of hot water for the shower.One negative is that there was no information in the residence about Wifi and we couldn’t access this until office hours on Monday.Another minor peculiarity is that my rather flighty friend convinced herself that the bedroom/living room just beyond the bathroom was haunted...We couldn’t work out how to operate the coffee machine, so some instructions would have been helpful. But there was plenty of kitchen equipment and the beds are comfortable.
