A unique and eclectic little cottage beautifully furnished with a well kitted-out kitchen. The view from the back verandah is stunning and the perfect place to have a cuppa or glass of wine and watch the birds fly by.

Cute little cottage with a great view, comfy beds and absolutely every you need for your time away

Perfect stay for myself with a participant who sprained her ankle and needed to stay still for a few days with her ankle iced and raised. The outdoor deck was perfect for this.

Beautiful peaceful location

We loved the fact there are a range of lounge/sitting areas, including a large living/dining inside, a veranda back and front, with the large back veranda also offering a dinning and sofa area. Beautifully decorated, giving an inviting cosy feel. Christine has thought of all the little touches to make guests feel very welcome.

Relaxing, peaceful cottage

A lovely cottage - spotlessly clean, comfortable, beautiful gardens and views, and generous supplies of breakfast food and more. Thank you Christine - we had a relaxing 3 night stay and certainly appreciated the air conditioning during the heatwave days. The added "touches" of fresh flowers, the glorious orchid and homemade jams added even more to an already wonderful time.

Beautiful house with a great view of the mountains. Very clean and excellent communication with the owner. However, the kitchen would benefit with a microwave 😀.

Adelightful cottage and hostess!

I would like to say I confirm all the positive comments made about this cottage! We so enjoyed our stay and we think that Christine is a top hostess! She looks after her guests in an exceptional way! Thank you so very much for letting us enjoy this cottage. We will miss it! We were also able to do many bush walks and I swam underneath Cedar Falls, in the Never Never Creek (entrance for the Promised Land) and in the tidal pool at Mylestom.

It's the little things that count

Everything was as stated in the description - plus so much more. The cottage was very inviting - fresh milk and plunger coffee, and a variety of different teas. Little vases of fresh cut flowers and beautiful views all the way to Dorrigo. It was very peaceful sitting on the back covered veranda, we didn't feel we were in suburbia at all. The garden has a lot of interesting and different plants and the cottage was well located for accessing everything we wanted to do. The Host Christine was amazing and very easy to contact and communicate with. This was our first holiday using Stayz and future hosts and properties have a lot to live up to to meet the expectations I will have for them.

Perfect for a long weekend

Christine’s place is simply lovely. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and elsewhere in the house. The little details like the fresh flowers and Easter eggs were appreciated. The house is extremely clean and tidy. The beds are comfortable and the monsoon shower was a welcomed surprise. The balcony is magnificent. On the balcony is a sitting area and dining area set up so we enjoyed using that space and the view over the mountains. The beautiful and peaceful view was truly food for the soul. The actual location of the property was perfect for us - a few minute drive in to town or to the river for a swim. Christine was very easy to communicate with and very considerate - she left the light on for our late arrival along with a torch and packed away cleaning products she thought my little one would get too.

Gillian and her family were wonderful guests. They left the cottage really clean and tidy. Gillian is a friendly and responsive communicator. I would recommend her to any hosts plus enjoy having her and her family back at the cottage.
