Great place!

We had an absolute great time in the cottage, it had everything we needed. Closeby a great and steep walk (not for small kids), to a desolate swimming place. Just perfect for our family christmas! Perfect communication with the host.

A retreat

So much space for our puppy, and the stream was lovely to swim in. Such a beautiful property and we felt all alone which we love. We barbecued, swam and relaxed totally. A real retreat. Thank you so much Fiona.

I would highly recommend this spot if you are seeking some rest and tranquillity..the jacaranda tree in immediate view was captivating .the old rustic log cabin feel of cottage was warming and had all needed amenities. Being able to take our dog Moby to share the experience made it even more special. I will definately return to the property, it was so nice to b hidden in nature.

Good getaway

The place and location was fantastic. Lovely place, however there was only a little issue the spa bath never worked, which was a little bit disappointing. But overall it was a great place.

Thank you kindly for your 5 star review Raelene. Really happy to hear you enjoyed our place and location. I'm very sorry the spa jets were not working for you. We took a look and unfortunately it had been switched off at the powerpoint (which is not obvious unless you know the cottage, and also a little confusing to us). Sorry we weren't aware of this to be able to rectify the issue while you were staying. Hopefully you were still able to enjoy a relaxing soak.
