A really lovely cottage in a great location. The fire pit and fireplace were lovely and the fully fenced yard that allowed our dog to also have a wonderful time was an added bonus!

We had a lovely stay at this charming property. The location was fantastic for Giraween National Park and some great wineries and the children loved roaming and playing in the large yard. The outside and inside fires were a nice treat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Peppertree Cottage. The house was well appointed, comfortable and very clean.
We took our dog and he loved the large well fenced yard.

Disapponted in the state you left the house in.
We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful few nights at Pepper Tree. The beds and doonas were super warm and the heated floor in the bathroom was a winner. The fireplace was terrific for gathering in the evening. Mary was so easy to liaise with and while the internet was patchy, we were after a relaxing sress free time. The local wallabies were all part of the charm. Easy distance to plenty of wineries and other attractions. A winner!

4 adults and 3 kids had a wonderful time at the cottage. Plenty of space inside and out. Fire pit was fantastic in the evenings especially when it was -3! Everyone loved the underfloor heating in the bathroom.
Fanstastic location and Will definitely be back.

Beautiful property with a great fully fenced yard. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with a beautiful -2c morning on the 10th of June. I would recommend one thing, salt, pepper and olive oil be kept in the kitchen.

Thank you Katrina for staying with us & such a lovely review!
Look forward to seeing you again sometime! Mary
Everything was very clean and the house was set up to be very inviting from the moment you walked in. The kitchen had everything needed for general cooking purposes. Games were supplied as was wood for the fire and the towels smelt amazing and were fluffy and white. We’d love to return. A second bathroom would be a great addition- but we know this is an expensive thing to change. At least there was a second toilet.

Lovely spot. Handy to national park, wineries & choccie shop. Enjoyed by all the family.
We had a lovely long weekend away staying at Pepper Tree. A great property with plenty of room for the kids and dog. We really enjoyed walking around the property seeing all the trees, kangaroos and birds. Comfy beds and great fire places inside and outside. Very relaxing watching sunset and then the stars at night. A great escape from the urban life. Very handy to the national park, wineries and chocolate shop!
