We had an amazing getaway and the cottage had everything we needed, set in a quiet peaceful surrounding on this stunning property. The indoor log fire and outdoor firepit were ready to go and kept us very comfortable during the cool nights. The property manager was very helpful and polite both before and during our pet-friendly stay. We would stay again!

Husband and I had an amazing night away in the chalet. It was very well presented with everything you need. Sitting out the porch with views of the forrest was beautiful especially on a raining evening, definitely feel like you away from everything in your little oasis.

Cabin was well set up in a forest location. Surrounded by bush, but close to main house. Bed was comfortable and shower nice and hot. Fireplace was a great feature. Basic kitchenette with balcony BBQ. The road to get to the property is at least 9km of dirt bush track. Not suitable for a regular car. With heacy rain the road became flooded in many places, making it dangerous. Despite the remote location, there was an outside light,and an indoor flashing light, that kept me awake. A sensor light would work better. The owners dog would circle the cabin at night, and also very early 5am in the morning. It was a german shepherd looking dog, that disturbed me, and my small dog. Waking everyone up. The ad for the property listed a "swimming pool". This was more like a small dipping pool for small children. Only just bigger than a spa, but located in a metal shed. I had no internet, the entire stay. I tried to use the wifi and telstra, without any luck. The television only had limited channels. Disappointing when wifi was liated as a feature. Maybe the cabin should be marketed as a back to basics in mother nature.
