The cabin was quite remote, but fully equipped with everything we’d need. We’d been warned the fridge was on the smaller side, but it was perfectly adequate for our needs. The weather was very changeable, but the living room was cosy and comfortable for relaxing and reading. So enjoyable to be away from the city sounds, with birdsong the only sound. Slept very well and left feeling refreshed.

Everything you could possibly want from a weekend away. The property was clean and well equipped, the hosts are super thoughtful and considerate. I can’t wait to come and stay again. I have never felt sadder leaving a place! It was so calming and beautiful. Sally, thank you for your kindness!

Sally was very attentive to little details (reminding us that the children will have to share the double bed or that there's no microwave) which helped a lot in planning for the trip. The place is very clean and you can't get better fresh air!

This rustic cottage catered to all of our needs to enjoy a quiet few days in forest surroundings. The wildlife did not disappoint with Lyre birds and wombats spotted. Inside the cottage was clean and comfortable. Was a peaceful stay.

My adult daughter and I had a really lovely stay in this delightful little rustic cottage. It’s very comfortable and is in a gorgeous peaceful location. We were surrounded by birdsong and were lucky enough to see 7 wombats on one of our walks down the local road at dusk. We found the beds very comfortable, as well as the sofas in the lounge room. We didn’t use the fire but very much appreciated the heaters which worked very well. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we need to cook simple meals. Sally was a great communicator and gave us all the information we needed for a great stay. We loved the delicious eggs she kindly left us. I would be very happy to stay here again.

Property was small and didn’t fully resemble the pictures There was moss on the outer walls which due to lack of care causes a damp smell inside. My wife and I decided to find somewhere else after been there for half hour. Place needs a bit of TLC and not semi pro photos to make it look better
