Set at the base of the mountains overlooking a beautiful valley floor, watch our horses, cattle and local wallabies graze peacefully enjoying this rare jewel.

The property is very rustic and tranquil. A few minor issues with blown light bulbs and leaks with rain. My elderly mum found the steps hard. Also there were cobwebs and mice in the cabin which was uncomfortable for us . Overal was very pet friendly thankyoy

Pam and Lindsay were incredibly welcoming and there were a lot of lovely touches in the cottage that made it a unique stay. However, be aware that phone reception is poor there, so if you know you're arriving late at night, make sure to contact them beforehand as it is a bit of a tricky drive up to the cottage.

We had a peaceful, relaxing couple of days at Cranky Rock Cottage. The cottage is just beautiful and so spacious. Lots of thoughtful touches. Loved sitting on the verandah reading and realxing, and of course made use of the spa!
