Apr 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely long weekend in charming Childers We really enjoyed our stay in this charming cottage in Childers - so many positives! It was in a great location for easy walking around the township, yet also maintained a country feel and outlook. Impeccably clean and charmingly decorated - loved some of the artwork in the cottage. Only minor negatives were that the kitchen whitegoods need a little love or refresh (but they still did the job) and the lack of screens meant many moths when the lights came on at night. Both back and front verandahs were well utilised throughout our stay - coffee out the front in the morning to watch the sunshine and birds, and drinks out the back in the evening for the sunsets. Would happily stay again if I'm ever back in Childers! ##### Sharon M. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna B.

Apr 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Childers Country Charm Overall we loved our stay at this lovely renovated old Queenslander. As per previous reviewer I would agree that the heat was a bit of an issue as no air con and fan in the lounge did not work, even with opening the windows it was hot. Also no outside light at the back so difficult to see out the back. Overall and for the price it was fabulous, the host was always responsive and the house comfortable. It was our first time to Childers so lovely to stay in this town as a base for our getaway to explore more of Queensland. ##### Ginia F. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Eileen W. Apr 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Week long visit to Childers The property is a charming Queenslander very close to town making it very convenient. It was clean, comfortable and the rooms were very nicely decorated giving it a lovely period feel. My only negative observation would be the lack of air conditioning. There were fans but the one in the lounge didn't work and the owner's recommendation on their welcome sheet said to open the windows to let the breeze through but that didn't work particularly well on very warm and humid days and nights - which every day and night was - and as there were no fly screens on many of the windows the mosquitoes were a real problem and I left with quite a few mozzie bites. Also you couldn't open the rear verandah doors as there is no rear deck as that part of the house is still under renovation. So my partner and I suffered considerably with the heat and humidity and mosquitoes - the only time it really cooled off at all was in the early hours of the morning. ##### Eileen W.
