The host, the breakfast choices, the location, the whole experience was amazing.

Sharon Australia

The hosts and cabin were excellent, and great that it was dog friendly. We had a great stay and would come back again.

Sarah Australia

- Breakfast in the morning was positively delightful. Freshly made to order and the perfect serving size to boot - Tranquil views over bushland from the deck - The hosts were wonderful. Very welcoming and helpful - Close to local attractions

Jemma Australia

Getting back to nature. Great time to relax and unwind. Limited internet so plenty of time to do other things other than on your phone or screentime. Beautiful gardens and walking. Lots of birds. Would definitely come back for a longer stay.

Benjamin Australia

A beautiful setting with lovely hosts and a truly rustic charm. The perfect get away for those wishing to escape and reconnect

Andrew Australia

Lovely cottage, great location, peaceful, Excellent hosts

Kieran Australia

Cabin was a great size, big kitchen with basic equipment, log fire was perfect, large comfortable bed, had total privacy, beautiful woodland outlook from private balcony and nice short walk we could do with the dog from our cabin. The home made breakfast was outstanding, as was the lovely verandah setting at the main house...highly recommend to include that in your stay! Location was great, near the main road but felt much more remote with no Wifi or signal, perfect :) Local IGA 5 mins drive, a good few lunch spots, Bilpin cidery, and a great pub with lovely friendly staff. We didn't want to leave!
