Great little cabin!

We had a most enjoyable stay in this quaint little cabin. We were attending a sports event in Coffs and for our family it was a good place to stay. Place was well kept, clean and host was very responsive.

Loved this amazing property

Loved the property with lake front view. So clean and lovely. Thank you so much for the milk, eggs, bread and tea and coffee there for us as we had a big drive and this was much appreciated in the morning! Also great variety of pillows. Nice big one for hubby and squishy one for me! Was so peaceful and beautiful and communication with property manager made everything a breeze! Can’t wait to come back again thank you!
