Please note the following at the cottage:
1. It was hand built by an early settler and the foundations are large stones. The floor is uneven in the bathroom.
2. Some of the doors frames are very low and could be an issue if you are tall.
3. There is a possum (s) that live in the roof. We can't remove him/her/them as the roof space access will only fit a 3 year old child through it. You may hear him moving about occasionally!

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Loved this little period cottage which suited our needs perfectly - overnight accommodation for a cycling getaway. Its rustic, and a bit out of town, so reign in your expectations, but has all the necessary comforts for a short stay. Our hosts were very helpful, although we didn't get to meet them in person.

A quirky but brimming with character property
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
We found the property clean and provided with sufficient materials (wood, AC and wall heaters) token us warm on a very chilly weekend. We had quite a bit of difficulty with the back door lock and had to use the front door for exit. A phone call to the owner was not picked up. The seating in the lounge area sagged badly - difficult for seniors to get out of ! - and the undulating floors also a bit of a trip hazard.
