We had a lovely stay. The cottage is well equipped and we loved the view from the balcony. Very relaxing and perfect for our doggy Wesley. We would love to come back one day 😊
We really enjoyed our short stay at this beautiful place. It was a perfect escape from busy Sydney, relaxing and peaceful. Our two Aussie Shepherds loved it too. Host made sure we have everything we need and shared some local knowledge about the area. Lots to explore and see, but nice to come back to the property at watch the sunset too. Already planning another trip!
This was a good spot for a couple of nights. Views in the morning and evening are lovely. Just note there is no wifi and we didn't have reception with Optus.
Two couples with a little pooch stayed to visit friends in the area. The property is as described in the listing. Hosts helpful. We had a relaxing weekend. Thanks!
Winn, James and Roger were wonderful hosts.We had a short stay and the property was impeccably clean, well presented, very comfortable and the views are stunning! And my children and the dog were very happy too. Thank you for a rejuvenating stay.
Fantastic country home away from home, pet friendly
Excellent communication from our hosts, wonderfully appointed cabin which made for a lovely short stay with our dog, gorgeous view and just close enough and far enough away from anywhere to be super relaxing!

Heaven
The best we have ever stayed in. Very friendly staff and wanted for nothing.
Such an amazing property! So gorgeous and the hosts were lovely. Can’t fault this place - it offered everything we were hoping for and more! I will definitely be back.
We enjoyed the relaxed and beautiful outlook, over the cows, paddocks and mountains. It was just the right place for us all to unwind and enjoy each others company in a lovely well stocked home. Our dogs had a wonderful time too! Thank you Winn and family.

Excellent self contained property
Had a thoroughly restful stay at this property, with comfortable bed and furnishings. Lovely, quiet and peaceful surroundings at the farm. A great farm stay experience with all the mod cons available at the property. It's also wonderful that this is a pet friendly property and you can bring your pooch along!

The perfect getaway
It had everything we needed, it was so comfortable and well laid out. The views were amazing and really helped recharge our batteries. The kids and our dog didn't want to leave.
Excellent. Absolutely everything has been thought of: comfortable beds, modern ensuites, fully equipped kitchen, the expansive views from the balcony, the excellent dog run.
Second time stay here, feeling like back home, nice and clean. Everyone enjoyed stay this nature place, my son and our doggy got freedom here.
Winn, Roger and their 2 dogs are super friendly.
We will go there again.
Thanks Winn and Roger
Fabulous little cottage with everything you need to enjoy a magical and comfortable stay. The hotel quality mattress and crisp white sheets were a real treat. Winn is lovely and very accommodating. Unfortunately it was raining most of the time and very wet underfoot so couldn't enjoy the outdoors at all.
