Jun 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Group friends weekend We had 9 staying at Lavender Cottage and the bedding and beds were wonderful. The layout of the cottage was good, with dining room and lounge large enough for all, with comfortable seating etc. Surrounding was beautiful, and felt very countryside while still only 10-15 mins out of Mittagong. Great 4pm leaving on Sundays. On the downside, property needs considerable maintenance on appliances, heating etc, and outdoor cleaning on BBQ and furniture. We advised Property Management who have said they would get these things checked. Would confirm this has been done before returning. ##### Wendy N.
