Gorgeous Getaway!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here! Very private cozy cabin, the ideal spot right by the river & surrounding native bush yet still close to all amenities along with great hosts that made sure we had everything we needed. Top 5 in our books for a perfect couples retreat.

This is a great property with the room oriented so you can sit on the deck chairs and look out over the native bush. Very enjoyable and quiet, but so close to the main road.

Xmas getaway

Stay was good. I would suggest a mirror on the wall of the cabin and perhaps a freestanding air cooler for hotter days.

Bush experience near city

This is a lovely little cabin 1.2km from the city and still has a feel of bush. The cabin is situated next to a stream with luscious green bush. Around 3 tracks a walking distance away. This is a lovely cheap getaway if you need to recharge.

Nice place

Nice place to stay just for a night, we stayed for 3, Was a lot smaller than I was aware of. Bed was way to small for 2 people of an average size. Shower curtain wasn't very good so water just got all over the floor. The view was food and the Leone is very nice 😌

Amazing, serene getaway

The cabin was very quiet, private and gorgeous. We loved how clean and tidy everything was, and all you could need was provided or just a quick drive 2mins into town. The cabin was nice and warm, and the sound of water from the creek right on the property reminded me of my childhood. Thank you for having us stay in your little slice of paradise. The owners were very helpful, friendly and informative of everything we needed to know. I would recommend this cabin for everyone to stay. Hopefully this wouldnt be the last. Thank you.
