This beautiful little rammed earth getaway is tucked into the edge of a forest with farmland views through large multiple windows. It made a perfect little private hideaway. Our doggo loved it too, exploring the huge amount of smells on the property which had a little bushwalk of it's own. We had cold rainy weather but with the brilliant wood heater we felt warm and dry. Beds were comfortable, plenty of comfy lounges. The kitchen was practical. The shower lacked water pressure, the washing machine seemed to struggle to finish a cycle.Overall, would recommend for a fun little adventure destination away from the city hustle and bustle.

Private getaway amongst stunning surrounds

Woodside is a gorgeous property far away from the hustle and bustle. We felt so relaxed and secluded, and enjoyed the wood fire and the campfire outside. Property information was very comprehensive and communication with the hosts excellent - thanks very much for a wonderful few days!

Countryside paradise

Our family of 5 and our dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Vesper. The property is stunning. The cows came up the the house in the evening to say hello and the wild deer honked as they trotted by. The kids were entertained with board games and DVDs and the adults enjoyed the vast CD collection (almost identical to the collection we once had!). We had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Thank you.

Beautiful place to relax and restore

This charming rammed earth cottage is set in such a tranquil spot with lovely views in all directions. Some natural bush on the property and lots of great walks nearby. Very comfortable beds and sofas and two living areas gave space for our family with adult daughters as well as room for us all to gather. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere so restful. Had everything we needed except washing machine/dryer were out of action for our stay. Telstra coverage was good in evenings and early morning but dropped away during the day which was odd- but helped with the relaxing! Absolutely loved our stay here.
