We had a fabulous week at Austracantha Cottage. The outside space is what makes this property truly unique with so many different places to sit and read or drink wine or play games... perfect for the family or if you just want to get away from it all. We loved watching the kangaroos from the verandah and also spotted deer, hares and a fox. Inside the property is tasteful and comfortable and we really didnt want to leave! Can definitely recommend. We will be back!

The property was beautiful, and very well maintained and set up. Any questions we had were answered, such as how to operate heaters etc. It had a very cosy feeling and was very comfortable. Would definitely come back another time without a doubt :)
