The Laguna cottages are a lovely, quiet getaway. Relaxing views across the paddock with cows grazing and the occasional wallaby, plus forcing the whole family to disconnect from the internet was great. The wrap-around balcony is wonderful. What wasn't clear in the listing is that the two cottages are separated by over 100 metres, so that was a pleasant surprise as you felt like you were effectively on your own. The owners have provided everything you could need for a comfortable stay - all facilities are top notch, with a modern kitchen, laundry facilities incl. clothesline, and powerful air conditioners.
A few notes:
- One of the rooms is accessible via doors that open onto the balcony or porch. So you have to exit the main house to get to it. It has its own a/c, two beds and a fold up bed, so is great for kids, but they'll need to cross the porch into the main house to get to the bathroom.
- The BBQ listed is an small electric hotplate one.
- There are small general stores within 10 mins drive, but the nearest town with supermarkets etc is Cessnock, which is a 40min drive.
