Kookaburra Cottage is right on the doorstep to some of the most popular tourist hotspots of Mount Gambier & the Limestone Coast region, whilst providing countryside tranquillity. The cottage is a 10 minute drive from the City of Mount Gambier, home of the Blue Lake and Valley Lake Precinct. We are located in the small farming town of Yahl, which is the perfect location for exploring all that the Limestone Coast Region has to offer. Kookaburra Cottage is a 3 bedroom modern country cottage that caters for up to 8 guests. It boasts a main bedroom with queen-size bed, ensuite and private outdoor claw foot bath area, a second bedroom with queen-size bed, and a third bedroom with a double bed, single bed and trundle floor bed also available on request. Bedroom three includes a dedicated office nook, perfect for working while on away from home, and baskets of kids toys & books to keep the youngest travellers entertained. It features an open plan living/dining/kitchen area with plenty of cosy lounge-room seating space to take in the country views. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking during your stay and includes a Smeg pod coffee machine. Ducted heating/cooling is throughout. Outside there is an undercover carport, parking spaces for up to 3 cars, and a large fenced and private front lawn surrounded by paddocks. Our Alpaca herd and two pet sheep reside in the neighbouring paddock and love being fed grain treats, which you'll find in a tub by the cottage fence. A delightful experience for the kids! There is a firepit area with rustic seating and wood supplied to enjoy, an outdoor table, and a barbecue for outdoor cooking. Little Rippa Brewery and Caroline Hills Winery are both located 2 minutes away & are close enough to cycle to for a wine tasting, beer paddle or a woodfired pizza. The Blue Lake, Kilsby Sinkhole dive site, Port MacDonnell beach, Glenelg River (great for kayaking!) and Umpherston Sinkhole all lie within a 10-30 minute drive from the cottage.
