Fantastic Getaway
Myself and a group of friends spent a few nights at Amy’s property in Bywong on a mountain biking trip down the East Coast from Brisbane, QLD to Bright, VIC. The property is a short 20 minute drive from Canberra CBD and all the amenities you need, set on a large average property it is secluded, peaceful and relaxing. Our host was kind enough to provide some provisions to ensure we didn’t go hungry on our first night, along with some locally produced beers and wines for purchase. The property has been nicely renovated with a functional kitchen, fire place, laundry facility and outdoor dining w/ BBQ. Thanks again for the lovely stay.

Pretty Country Retreat
This little cottage has been freshly decorated and provided comfortable accommodation for our family weekend away. Very quiet with pretty rural views from the verandah. Although the cottage sleeps 8, the living spaces are small and our family of 6 adults just fitted comfortably. The provision of some breakfast supplies is a great idea but clearer communication about what is provided would have helped planning (note to others - bring butter and extra milk - it’s more a starter pack than 2 days supplies). Finally, charging a fee for a slightly later checkout on Sunday in low season when the property is not heavily booked got me offside. Even hotels are realising a little bit of flexibility buys a lot of goodwill.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Sept 2022
Hi Liz, Thanks for your feedback and will take it on board. When you checked out, the front door was left wide open, including screen door. Fortunately we live in a great community and although we were out all day, there were no opportunist around to take anything. Sorry our policy regarding check out didn't suit you. We are a busy property with mid-week stays a hit so unfortunately it is not always available as an option. However, wish you spoke to me in person. As it was fathers day too, this makes it logistically a little bit harder to cater for as we were booked. You could have helped yourself to ay of the supplies, the local bottles of wine are the only items that are an additional cost, which is stated on the fridge door. Some guests hardly touch any of the breakfast whilst others have stolen them and taken anything they could with them so as a host, it's hard to please everyone so a ample amount is supplied to try and keep all happy. Hope the wedding was lovely. Cheers Amy

Pine Tree Cottage
We had a lovely time in Amy's gorgeous cottage. Beautifully decorated with everything you need including bacon and eggs, bread, milk, jam, sauces and wood for the fire. Amy was very helpful and quick to respond if we needed anything. She even recommended a great little country pub (The George) down the rd at Bungendore . Great little place for a getaway.

Peaceful rural setting
This is a tranquil rural place in an archetypal Australian bush setting.
