Country town special
A lovely quiet house with trees at rear and rolling countryside to North. Lovely birdsong at end of day. Just great for easy stroll into town too. In summary, a lovely relaxing stay.

Lovely long weekend in charming Childers
We really enjoyed our stay in this charming cottage in Childers - so many positives! It was in a great location for easy walking around the township, yet also maintained a country feel and outlook. Impeccably clean and charmingly decorated - loved some of the artwork in the cottage. Only minor negatives were that the kitchen whitegoods need a little love or refresh (but they still did the job) and the lack of screens meant many moths when the lights came on at night. Both back and front verandahs were well utilised throughout our stay - coffee out the front in the morning to watch the sunshine and birds, and drinks out the back in the evening for the sunsets. Would happily stay again if I'm ever back in Childers!

Wonderful pet friendly accomodation
Clean and beautifully laid out. Local to all areas we wanted to visit. An advantage was that it was just across the road from the showgrounds where fur babys can go off leash. The owners were very easy to talk with. We highly recommend this property, had so much fun there. 5 star rating
