Lovely quiet location…. Very cozy and comfortable place… yummy fresh baked bread still warm for breaky…

Porter Australia

We had a lovely time at this property, the owners were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast provisions were very nice, especially the freshly baked bread. A real bonus was that we were able to do our washing and managed to get it all dry. This is accommodation that has been very well thought out in its design, we really enjoyed being there.

Lois Australia

We loved everything! Clean and neat little cottage with a beautiful sunset over the paddock. Karen was a lovely host!

Timea United Kingdom

The unit was immaculately clean and very comfortable. Karen was a great host and we loved the freshly baked bread for breakfast. Was good to get to meet the farm animals, especially the very confident goats!

Malcolm Australia

Peaceful, quiet, well appointed, truly self contained. Super friendly & helpful host.

Tina Australia

The cottage has some interesting design features: the skylight above the bed and the engraved window between the bedroom and the lounge. it was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The freshly baked bread for breakfast was delicious. it was also very quiet and peaceful being located in the countryside but still accessible to what we needed.

Lorraine Australia
