Great location, quiet bush setting with wonderful views around the whole resort. Really enjoyed our break - Eloise was great at making us feel welcome and providing information to us , to make the most of the amenities. My two lads loved getting down to the river,, to fish and paddle board, as the river was calm and safe to swim in. Welcomed each morning by Smokey the horse which the lads loverd and also great to be able to use the on resort pool for a quick dip to cool off.. Highly recommend if you want a quiet, relaxing, away from the world experience. ##### Jon P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cassie C.

The aesthetic, tranquility, cute visitors (like Smokey the horse), the rain on the time roof, the beautiful rock formations in the cottage, awesome spa, little touches like the bubbling and sweets grazing box. Honestly, it was such a needed break away from life that we needed. The check in was professional & communication from Eloise was perfect. Thank you for a wonderful stay! ##### Cassie C.

Nothing was over the top, it was all just simple and comfortable and very relaxing. ##### Dean J. ### 8/10 Good #### Hugh C. May 28, 2018 #### Cosy retreat We enjoyed our stay in the rockhouse. A beautiful spot to spend a peaceful weekend. There are, however, a few things the listing doesn't mention. While there are two bedrooms, they are not fully enclosed. Rather they are part of a loft area, and instead of walls and a door there is a small partition (roughly 6ft high) and a curtain. So if you're going with another couple, make sure you know them well! The other thing I should mention is that it isn't so much a fireplace as a wood heater. It's great at warming the house but it's positioned in a way that you can't really sit around it or in front of it. But despite this, we did enjoy our stay and would recommend it to others. The kitchen is well stocked and the deck is perfect for a lazy game of scrabble in the afternoon. ##### Hugh C.
