Perfect bolthole for exploring the area, in comfort and style

This small cottage has everything you need for a comfortable few days in Coonabaraban. It is on a quiet street but just a short walk to the main street, and a good central location to all the attractions of the area.The house itself is well-equipped, welcoming, and cosy. I particularly appreciated the basic supplies that were provided, and being able to do laundry while away. My only regret was not having an extra night or two :)If we ever return to the area, we would very happily stay again in Dark Skies Cottage
